Digital Sheet Metal Processing & Automation

Sheet Metal & Structural Component Manufacturing

Manufacturer-neutral offline programming and end-to-end digitalization for flexible sheet metal manufacturing

FASTSUITE Edition 2 helps companies efficiently plan, program, and automate manufacturing tasks in sheet metal and structural component production. Especially for small quantities and variable batch sizes, the software enables fast, flexible, and productive machine programming—with minimal downtime.

One software solution for diverse systems and processes

Sheet metal processing is characterized by a wide variety of automation systems, technologies, and machine manufacturers. Different software systems often lead to siloed solutions and inefficient programming processes.

FASTSUITE Edition 2 creates a unified, manufacturer-neutral software foundation for:

Robot programming
Joining and machining technologies
Cross-system processes

FASTSUITE supports a wide range of leading machine manufacturers, including Prima, Mitsubishi, Komatsu-NTC, TRUMPF, Mazak, Haitian, Shibuya, HG Tech, and Hans’s Laser. In particular, technologies such as laser cutting and laser welding are utilized.

Request a consultation Work with our experts to determine how feasibility analyses and production planning can be digitally validated as early as the quotation phase.

From feasibility analysis to digital process flow

Digital process planning from the very beginning

FASTSUITE Edition 2 supports the entire manufacturing process—not just during programming.

Even during the proposal phase, it is possible to:

Conduct feasibility studies
Digitally verify accessibility
Design fixtures with precision

The digital model enables early validation of manufacturability and significantly shortens project timelines.

Semi-automated offline programming enables:

Quick creation of robot programs
Easy operation
Minimization of manual intervention

Even small production runs can be automated cost-effectively this way.

Advantages:

Maximum efficiency for small batch sizes
Reduction of manual production steps
Maximum system availability
Higher productivity through reduced downtime

FASTSUITE and the FASTCUBE Shopfloor Assistant create a seamless workflow between engineering and production.

FASTSUITE Efficiently designing digital robotics

FASTSUITE is the central environment for offline programming, simulation, and virtual validation. Robot and machine programs are planned, validated, and secured here as digital twins—independent of actual production operations.

FASTCUBE Shopfloor Assistant Automation that keeps pace with your production

The FASTCUBE Shopfloor Assistant builds directly on these digital twins and brings them right to the production line. It enables commissioning, adjustments, and optimizations of programs in a secure, simplified simulation environment—right on the shop floor and without complex engineering tools. This closes the gap between planning and actual production and avoids media breaks.
