Precisely planned and perfectly produced: the GANTTPLAN-APS from DUALIS is the tool used to optimize production in the Smart Factory. The scheduling tool, which is available as a stand-alone product or as a Cloud service, works for the planning department to optimize production scheduling and present the result as a GANTT chart on a computer display. GANNTPLAN’s production optimization ability for the current production window, makes it and integral part of the digital support infrastructure for both production and management teams. The APS is directly integrated to the management level ERP and production Shop floor data management systems.

The multi-level integration enables demand based material supply, optimized resource planning, 100% accurate delivery times, and accurate on-time delivery performance. Efficient processing saves on costs, and increases delivery confidence and product quality.

A simulation says more than a thousand words: The 3D-suite by Visual Components enables simulation based planning of production lines and machining cells for discrete production processes. Through the use of the 3D platform, processes can be optimized in terms of cycle-time, space requirements and required production resources. Whether for layout planning, 3D simulation, or robotics, DUALIS offers the right module for every need.

Production layout planning using accurate 3D simulations offers real savings in time and costs during the feasibility and configuration phase of a project. The realistic functioning 3D models increase planning security and lend themselves for re-use as a very convincing sales tool.
