Multi Site

A multi-site standard that keeps cutting cells aligned across different plants and regions.

How Multi Site works across a live operating week

Multi Site is for businesses that need the same cutting standards carried across more than one plant or region. ClearCut Technologies keeps tooling language, setup notes, and cut expectations aligned from site to site.

Multi Site starts by comparing what each plant calls the same cut, tool, and inspection point. Inland dust, coastal air, load-shedding windows, and dispatch times can push settings apart unless the spec states exactly what must stay fixed. ClearCut Technologies writes one cutting language that Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town teams can read the same way.

Keep one reference image from each site at first article stage. The pack adds care notes for blade condition, guide cleaning, hold-down checks, and the measurement points that matter when a line restarts after a stoppage. Posted at the cell or saved with the PO, that record cuts down on mixed messages between day and night teams.

Cross-plant cut control pack

The output is a shared setup record, a check sheet for every plant, and naming that matches the tool, SKU, and cut requirement. Clear wording matters more when two regions use different habits for the same machine. One standard that survives handover between sites is worth more than several versions that drift in use.

Match Multi Site with the related Applications note and the relevant Edgework entry before adding another plant to the standard. Recheck tool codes, setup notes, freight details, and who signs off the first accepted sample at each location. Send the brief through the contact form with the number of sites and the machines at each.

  • First accepted sample recorded at each site

Site variables that shift results

A multi-site brief must note dispatch cut-offs, travel time between plants, and where tooling delays usually start. OR Tambo freight timing, Sunnyrock collections, Crown Mines access, and smaller regional trading patterns can all affect how parts and cutters move. ClearCut Technologies treats those operating conditions as part of the specification, not background admin.

Coastal plants may need shorter cleaning intervals where salt air and grit sit on guides and sensors. Highveld dust can change how often guards, rails, and extraction points need attention, especially on older cutting cells. Power interruptions also affect when a first article can be checked and who is available to sign it off.

What to send for alignment

Brief Multi Site with site photos, travel timing, and what is already failing between locations. Keep the subject line plain and specific.

Record the differences while each site is still running the current method. Include plant photos, travel timing, tooling IDs, failed cut examples, and the checks each team uses before releasing parts. That gives procurement and production one traceable file when standardising across regions.
