Abstract
A controller for transferring information for managing and controlling machine tools, an automatic warehouse and a CNC device reads material information (e.g., size, shape, material) on an actual material on a pallet in an automatic warehouse before transferring a machining program for nesting. The controller judges whether the material information matches a material on which products are nested, newly nests the products of a machining schedule on the material of the material information when they do not match, and transfers the machining program for the nesting to the CNC device and machine tools.
