Ruby® laser software by Trotec

FROM the idea to the realisation of a lasered product, it is not only the speed of the laser machine that plays a vital role, but also the efficiency of the laser software. Ruby® Laser Software takes a key role in this process, revolutionising the entire workflow with an intelligent and profitable workflow. Thanks to an intuitive user interface, Ruby® combines processing and design functions in one platform that offers laser users an ideal solution for their projects.

Ruby® software features a self-explanatory user interface that seamlessly integrates the entire process from editing to design. Users can effortlessly import files from a variety of programs and process them directly in the software, including formats such as pdf, cdr, ai and dxf. This universal program compatibility saves valuable work time by eliminating cumbersome steps through printer drivers or customer queries regarding alternative file formats.

In addition, Ruby® allows minor customisation directly in the software, which increases flexibility and reduces the need for multiple correction loops. Another advantage is that no additional, costly software licenses are required. With an improved work process, Ruby® ensures accurate processing without delays.

Ruby® allows users to manage multiple jobs, machines and users safely and effectively. The software connects all devices such as lasers, extraction systems, PCs and materials in one central system. This enables efficient work anywhere, anytime, supported by a dashboard for intelligent machine monitoring and predictive maintenance.

“Our software enables control of all laser machine functionalities with a single click, resulting in industry-leading performance in cutting, engraving and marking,” says Alexander Schikowski, Head of Product Management at Trotec Laser GmbH.

Seamless connectivity is also ensured through collaborative working. Several different users can work simultaneously on the same network anytime and anywhere, whether on Apple or Windows. Jobs can be prepared by one user and produced by another. “Thanks to Ruby, as a boss I always have a complete overview of all remaining jobs, all machines with their current status and the pending orders that have not yet been processed,” emphasises Stefan Serrer, owner of the laser engraving store “Laser Tattoo”.

The intuitive user interface of the Ruby® laser software provides a clear overview of the functions, uses understandable terms, symbols and abbreviations as well as concrete explanations. In addition, free Trotec video tutorials enable Ruby® training in less than 60 minutes. Thanks to the minimised training requirements and a material database, anyone can get started immediately. With personalised access permission, Ruby® offers increased security and prevents unauthorised changes.

Ruby® is a powerful laser software that prepares companies ideally for future requirements. As a universal software solution, Ruby® is compatible with almost all Trotec laser machines. This allows companies to efficiently manage their entire machine park and maximize production capa­cities. From small workshops to industrial production — Ruby® offers customised solutions for every requirement.
