PlanetTogether APS and AVEVA Select Benelux Intelligence Announce Strategic Partnership for Advanced Planning and Scheduling Solutions

Encinitas, California, August 14, 2024  —  When AVEVA’s Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is integrated with PlanetTogether’s Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) software, manufacturers unlock a powerful synergy that enhances both planning and execution.

This collaboration transforms production schedules into efficient, cost-effective, and adaptable processes, resulting in a more flexible and competitive manufacturing environment.

The journey begins with AVEVA MES, which lays the groundwork for executing production plans that are practical and aligned with the realities of the shop floor. By ensuring that these plans are executable, AVEVA MES streamlines operations and reduces lead times. Enter PlanetTogether APS, which takes this foundation and optimizes production schedules, resource allocation, and workflow management. Together, they create a seamless flow of information that empowers manufacturers to respond swiftly to changing demands.

One of the standout benefits of this integration is improved decision-making. PlanetTogether APS provides real-time data analytics, enabling manufacturers to make informed decisions quickly. Coupled with AVEVA MES’s extensive data collection capabilities, this combination offers deeper insights that facilitate rapid adjustments to production plans.

As a result, manufacturers can identify bottlenecks, reduce downtime, and optimize resource utilization, driving operational efficiency to new heights.

Moreover, the integration allows for seamless scalability. PlanetTogether APS integrates smoothly with existing systems, including AVEVA’s MES, ERP, and IIoT solutions. This means manufacturers can scale their operations without significant overhauls, adapting to market demands with ease. Enhanced collaboration and visibility are also key components of this partnership. The unified platform fosters better communication across departments, while real-time data visibility into production schedules improves overall productivity.

Inventory management also sees a significant boost. PlanetTogether APS effectively balances supply and demand, optimizing inventory levels to ensure materials are available when needed, thus reducing costs and minimizing stockouts. This focus on efficiency aligns perfectly with AVEVA’s commitment to sustainability, as both solutions work together to reduce waste and energy consumption, supporting environmental and regulatory goals.

The benefits extend to customer satisfaction and competitive advantage. By improving on-time delivery and lowering production costs, the integrated solution enhances customer satisfaction, giving manufacturers the edge they need to meet client demands effectively.
