Capacity planning of asssembly lines and dock production

The introduction of Industry 4.0 brings new opportunities for the success and growth of companies. The highly flexible production resulting from this enables orientation towards individualized customer requirements of products across the entire life cycle.

With the Integrated Manufacturing Solution (IMS) factory planning software, we offer reliable modules that support you both in short-term and in long-term capacity planning.

Starting with strategic planning and determining the optimum production program plan based on customer demand and obtaining engineering requirements, right up to optimum utilization of the resources available in the production. For controlling, completely new options are available for determining the customer-specific costs, and even marketing and sales can be adapted.

Central focus is placed on discrete event simulation and automatic line balancing of assembly lines. The information available (Big Data) is abstracted for the respective divisions and used in different levels of granularity for simulations and optimizations (Operations Research). The specific management of information across all divisions represents a major challenge, which calls for plenty of experience and ingenious, customized software solutions. As a result, it creates transparency across multiple levels with global and local company-specific KPIs that establish the productivity and efficiency for short-term and long-term strategic planning.
