APS: Advanced Planning
Systems

> OPCENTER APS (ADVANCED PLANNING & SCHEDULING)

Advanced Planning System APS is the market-leading solution for strategic demand planning and advanced production scheduling, offering a comprehensive set of features to optimise your operations.

The main objective of APS systems is to balance both demand and plant capacity. These solutions deliver feasible production plans, provide immediate responses to unforeseen events such as machine stoppages or breakdowns, material delivery delays or staff availability, and enable simulations to analyse the impact of each scenario.

All of this follows different configurable business rules, such as push or pull scheduling, changeover time minimisation or preferred sequences.

In summary, APS systems offer you a comprehensive view, agility in the face of unforeseen events and adaptability to configurable business rules.

With our advanced planning solutions, optimise your production and stay at the forefront of efficient supply chain management.

APS: Advanced planning

APS PL (Planning) is a high-level decision-making tool that considers sales forecasts and long-term orders to determine feasibility and set the overall direction of production. It dynamically sets target stock levels to meet future demand, balancing the load across multiple resources while taking into account constraints, material expiry dates, etc.

APS: Advanced planning detail

Features:

  • Supports critical decisions about production capacity:
    • Expand staff
    • Expand resource capacity
    • Expand the plant
  • Enables the calculation of how much to manufacture.
  • Creates an RCCP (Rough Cut Capacity Plan).
  • Long-term visibility of the factory's capacity needs, without going into detail.
  • A quick answer to the capacity question.

Benefits:

  • Greater visibility of the impact of demand changes on required production volumes and stock levels.
  • Greater visibility of the impact of demand changes on capacity and staffing requirements.
  • Early warnings about capacity shortages or surpluses.
  • Early warnings about expiry issues.
  • Better control of production costs and therefore increased profits.
  • Scheduling.
APS SC: Scheduling and optimisation

APS SC (Scheduling) is an optimisation and simulation tool that supports critical shop-floor decisions. It is capable of sequencing work orders using multiple business rules, taking into account operational constraints, and always analysing the impact of potential changes or incidents before launching any production plan.

Features:

  • Complete view of demand, capacity, resource usage or operation sequence in Gantt chart
  • Forward (FW), Backward (BW) or Bidirectional resource loading
  • Additional optimisation rules for preferred sequences, setup minimisation, campaigns, bottlenecks, etc.
  • Alternative manufacturing route management, by line or group of lines
  • Multiple constraints per operation such as machines, staff, skills, tools, process lines, etc.
  • Rules based on dependent order links, which may be purchase orders, sales orders, and manufacturing orders
  • Scheduling with or without material shortage management
  • Production delay control (on time, at risk, delayed)
  • Calendar templates, breakdowns, overtime, etc.
  • Scheduling analysis tools for comparing alternative scenarios
  • Scalable, according to versions
  • Linkable to any ERP or data source, as well as capable of operating in standalone mode

Benefits:

  • Planning reliability
  • Better access to and sharing of information
  • Quick visualisation of potential problems and proactive decision-making
  • Improved productivity
  • Reduced raw material and work-in-progress stock
  • Reduced manufacturing lead time
  • Improved customer service rates

MES: Manufacturing Execution Systems

> OPCENTER EXECUTION

Manufacturing Execution Systems MES play a fundamental role in managing critical data and supervising the execution of manufacturing operations with precision and efficiency.

A clear example is the management of the raw material receiving process, which falls under the incoming receiving system within the MES. This process is initiated through the implementation of incoming receiving orders, which detail information about carriers arriving at the site and the composition of their loads. When a carrier arrives, the corresponding incoming order is activated, showing the steps needed to distribute the appropriate quantities of raw materials to designated storage locations.

This fundamental principle, the order concept, extends to all operations in a manufacturing plant, including production execution, product dispatch and even maintenance tasks. To implement this order concept in manufacturing operations, MES systems must have a deep understanding of the plant configuration.

Taking our example, the receiving process requires information about available raw materials and corresponding storage locations. All this knowledge and detailed management is efficiently integrated and administered within MES systems.

Key characteristics:

With our MES Production Management solutions, you will not only optimise order management but also elevate efficiency and precision at every stage of your manufacturing operations. From raw material intake to production execution, trust our MES systems for flawless execution and informed decision-making.

EMS energy management system in industrial plant

Efficient Optimisation for a Sustainable Industry

The integration of energy and production data is made possible by our automation system, enabling you to easily and accurately determine energy costs across various metrics such as per unit, per machine, per shift, etc.

Typical tasks include energy efficiency control, cost centre accounting, enterprise-wide energy forecasting and analysis (reports, dashboards, KPI determination), as well as energy procurement optimisation. The system is TÜV certified and fully complies with the legal requirements of ISO 50001 and energy-efficient operation, which also reduces operating costs.

EMS Energy Management Systems (Energy Management System) help you analyse the efficiency of your machines. Instead of complex raw value analysis, EMS compiles the values and provides them as meaningful key data.

Key advantages:

With our Energy Management solutions, you will not only meet the most rigorous standards but also advance towards a sustainable future, maximising efficiency and minimising energy-related operating costs.
