Turn scrap sheet into reusable inventory
Every morning, WebRun opens SigmaNEST, pulls the remnants left over from the prior day's nests, logs each one's size, gauge, material, and location to Google Sheets, and posts a Slack alert whenever an existing remnant can cover a job queued for nesting today instead of a new full sheet.

How do I track and reuse sheet metal remnants from SigmaNEST nesting?
WebRun checks SigmaNEST every morning for remnants left over from the prior day's nests and logs each one's material, gauge, dimensions, and location to Google Sheets. Whenever a remnant on hand can cover a job already queued for nesting, it posts a Slack alert, turning drop sheet that would normally sit forgotten into tracked, reusable inventory.
- Usable remnants get matched to jobs instead of sitting forgotten
- Material spend drops as more jobs pull from remnant stock first
- Remnant location and size are tracked without a manual walk of the rack

- Capture material, gauge, dimensions, and remaining usable area for each remnant
- Compare each remnant against material requirements for jobs queued for nesting today
Done when Every new remnant is captured and checked against today's queued jobs.

Google Sheets - log remnant size, gauge, and location
google.com How to Automate Google Sheets

- Mark any remnant used by a matched job as reserved
Done when The remnant inventory sheet reflects every remnant on hand and its status.

Slack - alert when a remnant matches a queued job
slack.com How to Automate Slack
WebRun opens Slack to alert when a remnant matches a queued job. - Post an alert when a remnant on hand can cover a queued job's material need

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it pull a remnant and reserve it without asking?
No. WebRun only flags a possible match in Slack. A programmer still decides whether to nest the job against that remnant in SigmaNEST.
How does it know a remnant is still usable?
It reads the dimensions and material SigmaNEST recorded when the remnant was generated, then compares them against the material requirements of jobs still queued for nesting.
What happens to remnants that never get used?
They stay logged in the Google Sheet with their location, so they remain visible and searchable instead of getting scrapped or forgotten in a rack.
