Inventory Precision

Stop Writing Off Scrap. Monetize Your Remnants with M3.

Automatic Child Barcode Tagging

When a torch or saw cuts a master item, M3 automatically prints barcode/QR child tags at the machine console carrying full pedigree, weight, and dimensions.

Nesting Priority for Remnants

Integrates directly with CAD/CAM nesting software to prioritize remnant inventory over virgin stock, maximizing material yield across every job run.

Inherited Mill Test Certificates

Child remnants inherit chemical compositions, tensile strength data, and certified mill test reports (MTRs) from the parent material with zero manual re-entry.

Rack, Bay & Bin Location Mapping

Locate any offcut immediately. Warehouse operators find remnants via handheld barcode scanners mapped directly to specific floor bays and vertical racks.

Multi-Shape Geometry Support

Track remnants for plates, structural beams, tubing, round bars, and coils with dynamic length, width, gauge, and weight calculations.

Auditable Genealogy Tree

Visualize the complete generational hierarchy of any part — from master heat coil down to multiple cut pieces delivered across different customer jobs.
