Enabling industrial supply chains to reduce inventory, lead-time and capital exposure with real-time adapting AI.
Reducing Inventory
By optimizing your ordering, planning and scheduling, you can achieve lower levels of inventory to reduce cost and capital.
Reducing Lead-Time
Optimized lead-times can be achieved through an AI based planning and optimization approach, helping to reduce the cash-to-cash cycle time.
Optimizing Utilization
Plans and schedules are getting optimized to enhance the return on asset for the key machineries by only producing what is needed.
Smart Flows covers the whole data lifecycle, from capture up to utilization, in with AI in business processes. Flexible use cases can be realized and modified, depending on your needs.
Supply chains carry a high level of complexity due the many dependencies and actors. The perfect plan is almost immediately off-track as soon as it is planned. AI automated optimization allows us to adjust plans and schedules automatically within defined boundaries to immediately determine the consequences of real world events and adjust accordingly to mitigate the possible negative consequences. At the same time new opportunities may arise which will be automatically discovered, suggested or autonomous evaluated and committed.
Example causes for necessary replanning
Supply delivery delayed
Unexpected downtime of assets
New sales oppurtunities
Shorter maintenance than expected
Demand cancellation
Changes in supply availability
Smart Flows automatically and continuously generates digital twins of your production and logistics units (e. g. on a machine level)
