AI-Powered Production Planning and Scheduling

    Create optimal production schedules in seconds. Polaris uses AI-driven optimization to assign orders, resources and stations while respecting all production constraints.

    Replace manual planning and static ERP schedules with an intelligent planning engine that continuously adapts to real-world production changes.

    Why Production Planning Is Still Broken

    Traditional planning tools can't keep up with the complexity and dynamics of modern manufacturing.

    Manual Scheduling

    Production planners spend hours manually adjusting schedules in Excel.

    ERP Systems Are Not Built for Optimization

    ERP systems create basic plans but cannot optimize complex resource constraints.

    Constant Disruptions

    Machine failures, delays and staffing changes force planners to rebuild schedules daily.

    The Polaris Approach

    An AI-Powered Engine for Optimal Schedules

    Polaris combines a PPR Knowledge Graph with AI optimization to generate, execute, and continuously adapt production schedules — closing the loop between planning and shopfloor.

    From Production Data to an AI-Optimized Schedule

    Three steps from raw data to an executable, optimized production plan.

    Connect Your Existing Systems

    Test Polaris within minutes using data from your existing systems. Import production data through file exchange, Excel or ERP exports to validate the model quickly. Once validated, connect your ERP, MES or other systems directly for continuous synchronization.

    Build a Production Knowledge Graph

    Polaris automatically builds a structured PPR Knowledge Graph (Product–Process–Resource) based on your data. The system links products, processes, resources, capacities and dependencies — creating a complete digital representation of your production environment.

    AI-Optimized Production Scheduling

    The Polaris AI optimizer analyzes all constraints and generates the best possible production schedule. Orders are automatically assigned to machines, stations, employees and production slots. The optimized plan is executed directly on the shopfloor through the Polaris Operator.

    Intelligent Planning Capabilities

    From constraint-based scheduling to real-time shopfloor execution — everything in one platform.

    Optimizer

    Constraint-Based Scheduling

    Automatically generate feasible production schedules that respect machine capacity, worker skills, shift models, setup times, and material availability.

    • Multi-resource constraint optimization
    • Setup time and sequence optimization
    • Priority-based order scheduling
    • Automatic re-scheduling on changes
    Optimizer

    Lot Sizing & Throughput Optimization

    Optimize lot sizes to balance setup costs with throughput. Visualize the impact of lot size changes on lead time, WIP, and delivery performance.

    • Dynamic lot size optimization
    • Lead time vs. utilization trade-off analysis
    • WIP reduction through intelligent batching
    • OTD improvement tracking
    Operator

    Shopfloor Execution & Feedback

    Deliver clear, time-based task lists to workers. Capture progress, deviations, and issues in real-time — feeding back into continuous re-planning.

    • Worker-specific task lists per shift
    • Real-time progress tracking
    • Deviation and disruption reporting
    • Automatic re-planning on feedback

    Measurable Planning Impact
