AI Accelerates Production Planning & Scheduling with GANTTPLAN Analytics from DUALIS

For Precise Analyses and Quick Decisions

• GANTTPLAN Analytics from DUALIS enables the automatic collection and analysis of historical production data to support precise analyses and quick decisions.
• The add-on enhances production planning through pattern recognition, forecasting, and the analysis of plan deviations, leading to more robust and realistic production plans.
• Managers in manufacturing companies can create more resilient production plans with data- and AI-driven analyses, requiring fewer interventions and improving delivery reliability.

Dresden, 25. August 2024 – In the ever-evolving landscape of industrial production, data is growing exponentially. Yet, the true value of this data can only be harnessed if it is effectively collected, stored, and utilized. Enter GANTTPLAN Analytics from DUALIS, a powerful extension of the GANTTPLAN production planning & scheduling solution that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) for automatic data collection and analysis.

“Valuable data often remains untapped in production environments. However, by analyzing and utilizing this data, we can significantly enhance processes and reduce costs in production planning & scheduling,” explains Dr. Kirsten Hoffmann, Product Manager at DUALIS. “This is why we have integrated the ‘Analytics’ add-on into our GANTTPLAN solution.”

GANTTPLAN Analytics systematically gathers planning data and processes it logically. By identifying historical patterns and causal relationships, making forecasts, and analyzing deviations from the plan, it aims to create a more realistic and robust production planning process.

This feature operates seamlessly in the background, integrating smoothly into the planning & scheduling workflow without altering the database structure. With data provided via a REST API, GANTTPLAN Analytics opens up new ways for data analysis and utilization, following a flexible approach that does not insist on rigid schemas.

Precise Forecasts with AI

The DUALIS add-on sets the stage for precise analyses and swift, informed decisions. Advanced analysis options and AI applications within the tool can predict deviations in process durations and provide more realistic delivery dates. Additionally, like-modelling applications can automatically generate target times for new parts based on similar past orders.

GANTTPLAN Analytics empowers manufacturing managers with data- and AI-driven insights, enabling the creation of resilient production plans that require minimal intervention. This, in turn, enhances planning & scheduling reliability and adherence to delivery schedules.

Since 2021, DUALIS has been exploring numerous potential AI applications in production planning & scheduling through industry-related research projects. These projects address the needs of SMEs and, through the Dürr Group alliance, specific use cases in plant and mechanical engineering. The valuable insights gained are continuously integrated into GANTTPLAN, ensuring it remains at the forefront of production planning technology.
