HOW WE CAN HELP

Do you have a dynamic production environment where a production schedule is never final? Does something always come up last-minute?

The Advanced Planning & Scheduling system always generates an optimal schedule based on your KPIs, regardless of the number of changes—even with last-minute changes.

Amended Orders

Process rush orders, cancellations, or additional orders immediately in the schedule without causing delivery issues

Delivery Time Adjustment

Adjust the production schedule when new or existing customers request a different delivery time

Absences & Illness

Effectively handling unexpected situations, such as breakdowns or illness among production staff

Inventory

Adjust production based on available inventory in the event of shortages or surpluses

Planwisely Advanced Planning & Scheduling

Two Approaches to Production Planning

PLANNING BETTER ON YOUR OWN

A VIRTUAL COPY OF YOUR FACTORY

Digital Twin

A digital copy of your factory as the basis for better production planning.

With our Digital Twin, we build a virtual replica of your factory. This allows Planwisely not only to plan based on orders, but also to take into account the reality behind each production order.

The Digital Twin forms the foundation for both Planwisely Core and Planwisely AI. Both use the same digital model of your factory; the difference lies in the extent to which Planwisely supports the planner in creating and optimizing the schedule.

Planning

The core of Planwisely APS is the scheduling engine. Based on AI, Planwisely generates an optimal production schedule per production line for the coming days within seconds. You have instant insight into which batch is scheduled at what time based on your preconditions.

But of course, you can also manually enter preferences and conditions that our AI then takes into account.

Scheduling in a nutshell:
Production Scheduling

Planners and operations must be able to work together seamlessly. Planning is therefore shared directly with colleagues in the production environment for each production line via Planwisely. Production workers can easily indicate which batches are ready and communicate directly with planners through the platform.

You know? The production schedule for the next few days is made. Everything seems to fit nicely and delivery agreements can be met. And then a big order may come along. But it has to be delivered within a few days.

With the Order Promising module, you can assess in seconds whether that can be practically realized. Enter the desired order and Planwisely immediately calculates the impact on the planning. If the order is confirmed, the planning can be adjusted in an instant.

In a nutshell:

Every planning depends on the actual production process. Your factory is therefore recreated in our virtual Factory, with all production lines, preconditions and dependencies. This allows Planwisely to calculate all possible planning scenarios in order to arrive at an optimal schedule.
