Manufacturing operations are facing various challenges such as:

Long cleanups & changeovers
Unpredictable downtimes
Variable labor performance
And ever-changing production schedules.

Moreover, the effective decision-making capability of managers is hampered by a lack of real-time production visibility and limited performance tracking capabilities. Digital Factory cloud solutions, powered by IoT and advanced analytics, assist manufacturers in swiftly and cost-effectively digitizing their performance tracking, production scheduling, and log-keeping activities through integrated solutions like OEE Tracker, Scheduler, Digital Logbook, and Labor Tracker.

Digital Factory | Scheduler helps address the complex challenge of work order assignment to the lines and staff which depends on many variables and constraints. Thanks to AI capabilities, Scheduler distributes work orders to production lines optimally based on the selected objective criterion such as:

Cost minimization
Profit maximization
OTIF maximization
Makespan minimization
Timely delivery
Just in time delivery (JIT).

Thus, managers can easily create feasible production schedules, reduce costs, and increase throughput.
