Adaptive Planning

Adapt to the Unexpected

FactoryLogix focuses on near-term scheduling, enhancing ERP planning capabilities. FactoryLogix has complete, real-time factory awareness of all jobs, materials, machines and product architectures, ensuring that on-demand planning changes can be executed without risk or unexpected loss. With immediate feedback of decisions and completions, ERP performance is enhanced, bringing efficiency and agility throughout the supply-chain.

Replace Ad-Hoc Spreadsheets

With unique contextualized real-time IIoT-based production status information derived from the factory floor, trends and potential challenges can be identified and addressed, keeping your Industry 4.0 operations on point, in line with changing priorities, ensuring on-time completion and customer satisfaction.

Simulation for Industry 4.0

With medium and long-term planning simulations now obsolete in the Industry 4.0 environment, FactoryLogix adopts a live rules-based engine that streamlines schedules, meticulously coordinating dependent activities, including factory-wide IIoT-driven machine communication and material consumption, avoiding downtime caused by supply chain interruptions or conflicting demand for equipment and other resources.

Effortlessly Respond to Ever-Changing Conditions

Simply drag and drop individual sections or discrete portions of your jobs onto the interactive schedule board, with FactoryLogix automatically calculating the amount of time each job will take, reserving needed materials, and highlighting any concerns.

FactoryLogix immediately identifies machine availability issues, projected schedule overruns, and material shortages, automatically providing recommendations, such as the use of alternative or substitute parts. Outcomes of “what if” changes are easy to see prior to commitment.

Eliminate Unexpected Material Shortages

FactoryLogix eliminates compounding inaccuracies of material inventory due to effects of bulk material packaging, spoilage and attrition, ensuring scheduling decisions are based on the exact knowledge of what can or cannot be completed, eliminating downtime, cut-shorts and missed delivery expectations.

Increase Flexibility, Reduce Cost of Change

With JIT material deliveries, based on the IIoT-driven pull signal from each production process, schedule commitment lead-time is reduced, eliminating the need to physically repurpose material kits on the shop-floor, saving time, effort, reducing material damage and investment, as well as saving production space.
