Features & Capabilities
Automated planning, sequencing and scheduling with end-to-end visibility in real time
Flexibly optimize and manage order schedules
Use sales and production views of your workflow to equally distribute orders and optimize schedules based on configurable constraints with early fault detection. If needed, you can manually reschedule with ease.
Plan with a real-time view of resources
Plan production based on the plants, personnel, materials and tools available with an overview of all resources. Compare plans with actual feedback, create what-if scenarios and schedule modifications easily. All online, validated by digital twin models.
Plan and optimize order sequences
Create optimal sequences (pearl chains) across production processes to uniformly distribute work, smooth assembly times, prevent bottlenecks and visualize rule violations when unexpected events occur. Select standard rules from a proven library and configure restrictions according to individual processes.
Real-time visibility for optimal resource utilization
With accurate software that delivers end-to-end visibility in real time, even the most demanding and variant-rich production processes can balance optimal resource utilization to reliably meet customer requirements every time.
Stable, efficient, optimized production flows
Make production processes leaner and increase productivity with real-time monitoring of daily, weekly and monthly schedules that enable continuous adjustments to improve production efficiency, stabilize processes and optimize costs by increasing output and decreasing rework.
Happier customers and bigger margins
Increase throughput by up to 20%, achieve up to 100% sequence stability and reduce rework by up to 50% to make production processes more profitable, improve margins and increase customer satisfaction.
