This isn’t just an optimiser.
This is the original Trimloss
high performance glass cutting optimiser
and glass sealed unit production software.

Trimloss consistently outperforms all other cutting optimisation packages for flat glass software. It not only gives the LOWEST MATERIAL COSTS, but also aims to give the LOWEST LABOUR COSTS by organising the complete flow of all the work in progress in just the same way as a motor car assembly plant. It can do this in any combinations of annealed glass, toughened glass, single, double, stepped, triple or quadruple sealed units, both rectangular and shaped, with different spacer bar materials, colours and thicknesses and spacer insets, and also for Georgian, leaded and artwork sealed units. All this is done with the minimum of glass handling, the minimum of toughening bed loads, and consistently higher toughening bed yields, thus yielding higher toughening quality with lower rejection rates, whilst still keeping a fixed orientation of any roller wave in the finished windows. Trimloss is therefore also very advanced toughened glass software.
Because every single production operation is worked out in advance of the work being submitted to the shop floor, work in progress times and work completion times are accurately predictable. This eliminates the need for cumbersome production monitoring systems, which if used would only serve to slow down production. This advanced accurate planning of all work in progress therefore emulates a highly organised motor car assembly plant, operating a “just in time” system. If any work does go astray, a gap in a slot rack will immediately identify the missing item, enabling quick remakes to be initiated. All this improved organisation often means that shorter lead times are achievable.
You don’t have to believe our performance claims. You can prove at least the greater material savings for yourself, by carrying out trial runs against rival optimisers and then observe the productivity savings from the fact that Trimloss allows batches with the full mixture of work types with maximum continuity and efficiency. Press the “Compare Your Current Optimiser” button on the left, to see how much of your current waste is avoidable.
Try also pressing the “Supporting Acts” button on the left, to see extra products for Glass Racking, Break Out Displays, Superspacer Line Software, Optimised Spacer Bar Cutting and Energy Labels, which can all help the profitability of a glass shop.
Rival software solutions often try to catch up with the disorganised and random work
scheduling priorities practised by the worst production managers. Chasing round the
shop floor to fill in for the limited production controlling ability of competitor’s
software is something we do not advocate -

performance we know can be achieved with Trimloss. Alternatively, e-
