Automated SigmaNEST Press Brake Schedule Reminders
Every morning, WebRun opens SigmaNEST, pulls every job scheduled for press brake forming that day, and posts a Slack reminder to the brake operators listing each job's bend count, tooling, and order in the queue so setups do not get missed.
How do I remind press brake operators of their daily SigmaNEST schedule?
WebRun opens SigmaNEST every morning and pulls every job scheduled for press brake forming that day, in order. It posts a Slack reminder to the operator channel listing each job's bend count and required tooling, flagging changeovers between jobs, so the brake queue keeps moving without a setup being missed or resequenced by mistake.
- Operators start the shift with the full bend queue instead of checking job by job
- Tooling changeovers are flagged before they cause a delay
- Scheduling stays in SigmaNEST while the reminder just keeps the floor informed
Built for press brake operators · fabrication shop supervisors · production schedulers · sheet metal shop owners

Questions, answered
Does it change the press brake schedule?
No. WebRun only reads the schedule already set in SigmaNEST and reminds operators of it in Slack. Resequencing jobs is still done by your scheduler.
How does it know which tooling each job needs?
It reads the tooling assigned to each job's bend program in SigmaNEST, so keeping that field current keeps the reminder accurate.
What if the schedule changes after the morning post?
It reflects whatever is in SigmaNEST at the time it runs, so running the check again later in the day posts an updated queue with any changes made since the morning reminder.
