Logility, Inc., a player in prescriptive supply chain planning solutions, has expanded its Manufacturing Optimization solution. The latest update introduces advanced scheduling capabilities, including Synchronous Scheduling and Flexible Scripts. The update aims to elevate production processes across diverse industries.
Manufacturers face intense pressure to maximize margins, making every minute count in production environments. Logility’s Manufacturing Optimization now tackles a critical manufacturing challenge through its Synchronous Scheduling feature. This functionality allows concurrent scheduling of multiple items on the same production resource with identical start and end times, proving particularly valuable in food and industrial durables. For example, various items need simultaneous processing in baking, curing, or drying processes.
Utilizing Industry 4.0 Technologies
Deployed in numerous manufacturing environments, Logility’s Digital Supply Chain Platform leverages cutting-edge Industry 4.0 technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and automation. The addition of Flexible Scripts allows for quick integration of real-life constraints into manufacturing environments. This feature offers the flexibility to configure scheduling constraints and goals for each manufacturing resource within a plant using low-code development via Python.
“Our clients rely on highly sophisticated manufacturing processes, so we deliver equally sophisticated capabilities to accurately model those processes without lengthening implementation time or compromising solution performance,” emphasizes Kevin McInturff, Logility CTO.
“With these market-leading capabilities, we help ensure the highest utilization possible of equipment and resources.”
Key Features of Manufacturing Optimization
As a cornerstone of the Logility Digital Supply Chain Platform, Manufacturing Optimization boasts several features to optimize production schedules:
- Advanced Scheduling Algorithms: The solution employs advanced scheduling algorithms to find the best production schedule. Additionally, it considers factors like resource availability, demand, and constraints.
- Configurable Environment: Tailored to meet the specific needs of each organization, the solution can adapt to different products, production processes, and available resources.
- Real-Time Visibility: With real-time visibility into schedules, users can quickly detect and resolve potential production issues.
- Collaboration Tools: Integrated collaboration tools streamline teamwork in creating and refining production schedules.
Logility’s commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions is evident in the latest enhancements to Manufacturing Optimization. These advanced scheduling capabilities represent a significant stride toward maximizing production efficiencies.
