ADVANCED PLANNING
& SCHEDULING
This module provides optimal shift planning, taking into account all current, logged orders, their dates, priority and margin — transition times, supply limitations and delivery logistic limitations.
INSTANT
RE-SCHEDULING
This provides fully automatic scheduling, data integration, less than 1-minute ‘new plan’ gene- ration and the best new schedule while limiting the number of changes to a minimum.
REAL-TIME DECISION
SUPPORT SYSTEM
This system monitors temperatures in the furnaces and sprayer/tub. It can apply suggested furnace section temperature changes and ensure that all pipes in the batch maintain quality despite changes in the furnace state. This means overall quality is improved, both in random tests and in actual product to client.
TECHNOLOGY INTELLIGENCE
We had equipment fluctuations, how did this affect production? We used new AI-suggested modes, how did it help? A batch failed quality control, how is it different from other batches? We produced 1000 tons more, but what is our margin?
