Smart Factory, Smart City, Digital Twin, Industry 4.0, Machine Learning -vs- Artificial Reality…

These BUZZ WORDS generate thinking about critical journeys required by businesses hoping to survive into “Tomorrow” by maturing beyond “Yesterday’s” methods. As in any journey, we need to prepare ourselves, get resources in place, develop a plan, and take one step at a time. PMC will walk through the Anatomy of Smart Systems. All components need to be digital, and then they need to relate to each other.

Product, Facility, Processes, Equipment, “Movement” and Logistics shall all be represented Digitally. In this digital environment, we can replicate reality, simulate various scenarios and optimize performance.

Nick Andreou, PMC Vice President, will be presenting how the real world can be presented using digital tools. Stay tuned for a live Q&A session following the discussion!

In today’s dynamic manufacturing environments, each facility’s production control department must constantly provide and update production schedules that are at once feasible and comprehensive. Without the benefit of an advanced scheduling system, the challenge of generating a production schedule that is more than just feasible – one that hits all promised delivery dates, maximizes utilization and minimizes work-in-process might seem out of reach.

Advanced scheduling is a critical decision support tool for a modern manufacturing facility, which must respond to an ever-changing product mix; multiple routings and material flows; rush orders that jump to the front of the calendar, and to equipment breakdowns that push everything back. Research indicates that using an automated scheduling tool that can model your manufacturing processes will lead to improvements in one or more of the following areas:

• Higher Productivity
• Lower Levels of WIP
• Improved Delivery Performance
• Reductions to Labor Overtime and Overhead

Every company has different ideas of what they want from a scheduling solution, what data they want to see, what pain points they want to cure, what planning and scheduling objectives they have, and what scheduling rules they want to use. In selecting a Planning and Scheduling solution you should be looking at how flexible you need the solution to be and whether the application has the capability to provide that flexibility. This session will provide a high-level overview of the scheduling capabilities of Opcenter APS, the leading provider of advanced planning and scheduling solutions to the manufacturing industry.

Scheduling Software enables manufacturers to shorten lead times while meeting customer demands in many industries.
