Advantages
Real planning optimization
Calculation of the optimal sequence of operations, reduction of downtime, changeovers and deadline delays
Maximum use of resources
The system analyzes the workload of all work centers, the availability of containers, stockpiles, and materials
Incredible economic impact
After implementation, enterprises experience cost reduction, faster production, and increased profits—a return on investment within a year.
Reducing the human factor
Planning is fully automated - errors and subjective decisions are excluded, the system itself selects the best production scenario
Flexible integration with information systems
Easy connection to MES, 1C and corporate databases, ensuring information exchange without modifications to the code
Scalability and reliability
The solution is suitable for both a single plant and a manufacturing holding, taking into account the growth in volumes and complexity of processes.
Understanding the «here and now» situation
The system monitors the current state of production to assess bottlenecks and plan effectiveness
Implementation experience at leading enterprises
APS INFIMUM is already in operation at Moskabelmet and other cable plants, confirming its effectiveness with real data.
System capabilities
Multi-criteria planning
- Schedule calculation takes into account all production factors, including order deadlines, downtime, changeovers, work center loads, and material availability.
- Planning is based on a combination of minimization criteria, resulting in the most balanced results.
Automatic batch generation
- The system integrates technologically compatible operations, generates optimal batches, and minimizes the amount of containers used. The result is fewer setups, less waste, and higher equipment utilization.
Accounting for alternative work centers
- Automatic selection of interchangeable equipment for operations, distributing the workload between DCs based on their availability, characteristics, and current occupancy. This avoids bottlenecks and evenly distributes production load.
Parallel execution of operations
- Supports scheduling multiple operations simultaneously across different machines. This is especially important when processing semi-finished products and intermediate stages—it reduces cycle times without sacrificing calculation accuracy.
Accounting for stockpiles and remaining materials
- Using data on backlogs and semi-finished product balances, reducing the volume of new production. The system automatically calculates which positions can be filled with ready-made components, without wasting time and raw materials.
Chronological accuracy
- The plan is formed strictly in accordance with process routes and dependencies between operations. The system ensures that production logic is not disrupted: each action is performed in a precise sequence.
Integration with MES and 1C
- Fully integrated into the enterprise's corporate infrastructure. It operates both as part of the MES system and independently, exchanging data with 1C, SQL databases, and BI tools.
Analytics and reporting
- All planning results are available in the form of reports, dashboards, and equipment utilization charts. BI visualization shows the status of the production process in real time, from backlogs to order fulfillment.
