Sarine Launches Rough Planning Software for Smallest Stones
February 23, 22
(IDEX Online) - Diamond tech firm Sarine says it's launching new rough planning software specifically designed for very small stones.
They now represent a "vast segment" of the market. In 2018 the Israel-based company says its Galaxy inclusion scanning systems scanned 120,000 rough stones under 0.15 carats. In 2021 that figure was 7m - nearly a quarter of all stones processed.
"Having witnessed over the past four years an increasing trend of applying ever more technology to smaller sized rough diamonds, we have risen to the challenge and are introducing a solution specifically tailored to benefit this very significant segment of the value chain, wherein an estimated 900 million stones are polished annually," it says in a press release.
Advisor 8.0, the latest version of its rough planning software, incorporates more than 20 new features.
David Block, Sarine's CEO said: "We are delighted to introduce the newest and most advanced ever version of Advisor. It will improve yield, accelerate productivity and enhance the overall value of our industry-leading core midstream offerings."
