The intelligent Advanced Planning and Scheduling system (APS)
GANTTPLAN APS brings predictability to the digital factory. The Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system enables manufacturing companies in a variety of industries, to achieve a smooth order flow with shorter lead times and ongoing cost optimization.
GANTTPLAN APS lets you optimally plan all orders based on available resources and capacities, while taking schedules and cost factors into account. It then clearly visualizes the result on the graphical production control station.
"GANTTPLAN opens up a new world of possibilities for us and now provides us with an optimal and feasible production plan, within seconds. Our planning staff now focus on specialized areas that software and automation cannot yet handle. One of the biggest benefits with the APS software is avoiding double booking of resources."
More than 150 internationally active companies already rely on our GANTTPLAN APS for their detailed planning. In addition to a wide range of functions and configuration options, user-friendliness and simple integration into existing IT landscapes are the major contributing factors to this success.
Our experience from 30 years of implementing and integrating production planning solutions, our specially developed production optimization algorithms and our expert project management in all areas up to and including after-sales service improve production transparency and planning reliability for our customers. This results in considerable cost and time savings during operation.
Learn why companies of all sizes and sectors chose GANTTPLAN APS, how the projects were successfully implemented and what added value was achieved.
Stiffer competition, increasing cost pressure and changing customer demands are forcing companies to optimize production even more. Besides addressing the various optimization goals such as reducing the tooling or manufacturing costs, it is also essential to monitor and control all resources and restrictions relevant to planning in the production department. This is often complicated by competing optimization goals.
Conventional planning methods like Excel are far outmatched by such a complex task. An intelligent planning solution is the answer: An Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system like GANTTPLAN enables a smooth order flow, short lead times and ongoing cost optimization. These are the hallmarks of the smart, efficient factory of tomorrow.
All features from GANTTPLAN Starter plus
GANTTPLAN is modular and can be scaled as required to grow with your needs. You can start small, quickly achieve results and gradually expand your production or add more factories. GANTTPLAN Starter is your inexpensive introduction to detailed production planning for machinery and plants. GANTTPLAN Expert is the right choice for production companies with more complex manufacturing structures that additionally require HR and/or tool planning. The modern GANTTPLAN product model simplifies your costing, because only planning resources are counted in the Starter and Expert product configuration levels.
GANTTPLAN is powerful, state-of-the-art standard software with a service-oriented architecture and container-based design. The APS system therefore runs on leading IoT platforms like Microsoft Azure, and it is available with an integrated automatic planning function both on the premises and via the cloud. Equipped with the new web client, the application is additionally available on every device via web browser.
We are expanding GANTTPLAN to handle automated processes. The APS software will be able to react to external influences and take any necessary actions independently, for example. Features such as intelligent personnel requirement and production planning using artificial intelligence and neuronal networks are also in the pipeline.
What’s more, GANTTPLAN can be seamlessly integrated into existing ERP and MES systems for digital networking. This perfect interaction saves even more time and money for your company during planning and operation.
Our 3D manufacturing simulation software lets you realistically plan, test and validate your manufacturing designs in a virtual setting.
Our planning software for digital shop allocation helps you make the best possible use of limited areas in the assembly shop.
From digital twinning to detailed order planning and execution in MES to continuous production optimization.
