The diamond manufacturing industry today relies completely on advanced technologies for rough planning, cutting and polishing. Over the past 35 years, Sarine has been at the forefront, developing groundbreaking systems that optimize the production of rough diamonds to extract maximum value. Today, Sarine’s latest innovation, Most Valuable Planning (MVP) software, promises to revolutionize the industry yet again.
Increasing the Value of Polished Diamond Yield by up to 5%
Implementing a new system for diamond processing demands extensive training and continuous support. Errors in operating the system or incorrect manual configurations can transform a rough stone with high potential value into a polished diamond with a negligible profit margin. To address this, Sarine focused on developing an automated solution that would consistently deliver proven added value for each diamond. The result? Most Valuable Planning (MVP) software, which integrates with Advisor® 8.0 rough planning software.
MVP uses a next-generation planning algorithm, enabling manufacturers to perform a more in-depth automated planning analysis for rough diamonds that takes into account various indicators with increased flexibility at the click of a button. The results are clear and highly promising: Beta testing indicates that MVP can increase the value of polished diamonds by up to 5%, depending on the quality of the rough diamond.
MVP is currently available for rough diamonds of half a carat and below. In the near future, it will expand to include rough diamonds in the 50-90 points range and even larger diamonds in 2025.
Adding Value to Diamonds and Diamond Businesses
Manufacturers worldwide use Sarine Galaxy® systems for accurate inclusion scanning and mapping. After the mapping stage, they rely on Sarine Advisor® software to analyze the rough stone and suggest cutting plans that will maximize the profitability of the polished yield.
During the manufacturing journey, the stone is returned to Sarine’s systems multiple times to ensure the cutting and polishing process adheres to the original plan or to make necessary adjustments.
There is always room to improve planning capabilities and extract even more from rough diamonds, and this is what MVP is designed to do. Different manufacturers may require different results from the same rough stone, depending on retailer requirements for size or clarity. MVP incorporates advanced artificial intelligence and computer vision to analyze all the possibilities from a single rough diamond, allowing it to offer the best option for maximizing profits based on specific needs and goals.
For diamond manufacturers, MVP can improve profitability in a single click without needing to acquire new hardware or provide extensive training on the factory floor.
Reaching New Heights via the Cloud
MVP is fully automated, cloud-based software on Amazon Web Services (AWS), connecting the manufacturer to enormous computing resources and diamond data that supports MVP’s instant, proven results. Manufacturers can easily integrate MVP with other Sarine cloud-based solutions while assuring the highest level of information security.
As a SaaS service, the cost of MVP is on a per-use basis. This provides manufacturers with complete control over their rough planning investment, enabling them to choose a standard planning solution for specific diamonds or to leverage MVP to add more dollar value to the rough stone. MVP significantly reduces the costs of effective planning and maximizes profitability of every rough diamond in a competitive market.
Natural and Lab-Grown Diamonds: Maximizing value across the industry
Sarine’s systems handle both natural and lab-grown diamonds, offering a significant advantage in a market that is increasingly embracing synthetic stones. With the rapid decline in the price of lab-grown diamonds, technologies that add value are crucial for maintaining profit margins. The MVP software not only enhances the value of diamonds but also supports manufacturers in adapting to market fluctuations and increasing production efficiency.
This is Just the Beginning
Looking ahead, Sarine plans to expand its cloud-based services to include full monitoring of all stages of manufacturing. The digitalization of the entire diamond supply chain – from mine to retailer – will provide unprecedented insights and efficiencies, benefiting all stakeholders in the industry.
As Sarine continues to innovate, the future of the diamond industry looks brighter than ever. With MVP and beyond, new levels of efficiency, profitability, and customer satisfaction are within reach.
