Basteo Studio

From the pattern to the marker and the plotter

Name: Basteo
Author: OPLIXO SOFTWARE sp. z o.o.

The marker is calculated for you: several sizes and quantities, open or folded fabric, grain line and nap direction. At the end you get the length, the utilisation percentage and a plotter file.

What it does today

Marker making: several sizes and quantities at once, open or folded fabric, grain line and nap direction, 0/180° rotation
Marker length, utilisation percentage, number of plies; PLT/HPGL plotter file and DXF-AAMA export
Estimated consumption in metres and kilograms (±10–15 %) — knits are bought by weight
Fabric and trim library: width, weight, shrinkage, price per metre or kilogram, supplier
Cost per piece: fabric, trims, labour, overhead and margin — per size and per order, with quantity breaks
Quoting: variants, PDF with your logo, versions and statuses, one-click approval link (date, name, IP), sent by e-mail or SMS
Client company details from the national registers by VAT or registry number
Material shopping list from an approved quote
Cut ticket: pieces × sizes × quantities, plies, fabric requirement, roll reservation, goods issue
Barcoded bundles (Code 128); a scan at the workstation records the operation, the operator and the time
Routing and standard times per product; piece rate from standards, efficiency as a percentage
Scheduling against factory capacity: workstation load, planned finish, at-risk deadlines
Stock: labelled rolls, trims, goods receipts and issues, reservations, minimum alerts, stock value
Quality control: defect register per bundle, operation and operator
Reports: margin, planned vs actual consumption, efficiency, on-time delivery, defects, shortages — CSV export

What you get

You know how much fabric it will take before you buy it — in metres and in kilograms
The marker is calculated by the machine, not by someone arranging pieces by hand
The same file goes to the plotter and the cutter; Gemini CAD can stay
A quote goes out in minutes and the client approves it with one click
You can see where every order is and which operation runs slower than the standard
In our test the marker came out about 1 % shorter than Gemini CAD (793.9 cm vs 801.7 cm)

Coming soon

EXACT consumption from the marker (±2–3 %) and ACTUAL consumption from cutting
Orders created automatically from an approved quote
Full profitability, planned vs actual, split by fabric, labour and trims
Shrinkage compensation inside the pattern itself
Standard times per operation directly in the cost per piece (today a rate per piece)
Defect statistics per workstation, operation and product
Contract with specification and a finger signature on the phone after a QR code, confirmed by SMS

Work it out

Calculate fabric consumption per piece

Pick a product and a size, enter the width and weight of your fabric. It calculates in your browser, with no account needed.

Product Size Fabric width (cm) Fabric weight (g/m²)

This is an ESTIMATE from piece areas and a typical waste factor — accuracy about ±10–15 %. The exact figure comes from the marker in the program (±2–3 %), because it depends on how the pieces actually nest at your fabric width and grain direction.

Where we work

Basteo runs in the browser, so your workshop can be anywhere. We run rollout and training remotely, and on site by arrangement.
