Granite Processing Software, Block to Polished Slab
Know-Now is the operating system for granite processing — block procurement and grading, gang saw and cutter planning, stage-wise production, edge and polishing tracking, and lot-level slab inventory in one platform.
Built for the realities of hard stone — high cutting times, thickness-critical planning, and yield that decides your margin.
Factory Overview
What Slows Granite Processings Down
These are the problems granite processors tell us about before they move to Know-Now.
Hard stone, thin margins
Granite's long cutting times and heavy wastage mean a poorly planned block quietly erodes the profit on the whole lot.
Thickness planned by guesswork
Blocks get loaded to gang saws without matching thickness to confirmed orders, so you cut stock nobody ordered.
No block-level yield
You know the tonnage in and the slabs out, but not how much saleable granite each specific block actually gave.
Slabs lost across the yard
Finished granite lots sit unlabelled in the yard, so finding a specific colour and size means walking the whole stack.
Consumable cost vanishes into overhead
Segment wear, abrasives, and machine hours are real costs of hard stone, but none of them attach to the lot that consumed them.
Supplier quality is an impression
You believe certain quarries cut better than others, but there is no record that would settle the argument or the price.
Turn Every Granite Block into Trackable, Profitable Output
Granite is hard, heavy, and unforgiving — a single mis-cut block is real money lost. Know-Now gives granite processing units block-to-slab traceability, gang saw planning, and yield analysis so every block earns its keep.
Granite Block Procurement & Grading
Record quarry source, colour, dimensions, and grade for every granite block, and link supplier payments to each purchase.
Gang Saw Planning by Thickness
Assign blocks to gang saws based on order thickness and priority, so cutting output matches real demand.
Cutting, Polishing & Edge Stages
Track each granite lot through cutting, polishing, and edge processing with real-time stage-level visibility.
Yield & Wastage Analysis
See exactly how much saleable granite each block produced and where recovery is being lost.
Lot-Level Slab Inventory
Track every granite slab individually — colour, size, finish, thickness, and yard location — searchable in seconds.
Dead Stock & Aging Alerts
Get alerted on slow-moving granite lots before ageing stock locks up your working capital.
Know-Now in Your Day-to-Day
- 1
Granite block arrives and is graded
Quarry, colour, dimensions, and grade are recorded at the gate. The block keeps that identity for life.
- 2
Cutting is planned by thickness and demand
Blocks are matched to gang saws against confirmed orders, so you cut the thicknesses you can actually sell.
- 3
Slabs move through polishing and edge
Each lot is logged through polishing, edge work, and inspection, so you always know what is where on the floor.
- 4
Finished lots enter inventory
Every granite slab lands in the yard with colour, size, finish, and location — findable in seconds.
- 5
Yield and cost close the loop
Output is compared against block input to reveal true recovery, wastage, and cost per square foot.
Built Around Granite Processing Operations
The parts of the platform that carry the day-to-day work of this business.
Granite Block Grading
Quarry, colour, dimensions, and grade recorded at the gate, giving each block an identity it keeps for life.
Thickness-Led Cutting Plans
Blocks matched to gang saws against confirmed order thickness, so you cut the sizes you actually have demand for.
Polishing & Edge Control
Every lot logged through cutting, polishing, edge work, and inspection, with consumable and machine costs attributed as it goes.
Colour-Wise Slab Inventory
Each slab searchable by colour, pattern, thickness, finish, and yard location, with ageing alerts on slow-moving lots.
Quarry & Supplier Scorecards
Recovery compared by source, so you can see which quarries consistently deliver the yield they were bought for.
Machine & Consumable Costing
Segment wear, abrasives, and machine hours attributed to the lots that consumed them, feeding real cost per square foot.
Granite Processing FAQs
Yes. Every granite block carries its identity from the yard gate through cutting and polishing, so Know-Now compares the input volume against finished slab area to give recovery, wastage, and cost per square foot for that specific block.
