Solutions Background

SmartPlan: plan production and schedule operations, automating order management

Business Impact

Reduce filler bars by up to 40% while increasing on-time delivery by up to 15%

Generate fully automated schedules from order book for both single and dual casting

Dynamically optimize existing schedules (1-2 days ahead) with incoming orders

How It Works

01

Proprietary Optimization Algorithm

State-of-the-art optimization algorithm specifically designed to solve complex dual and single casting scheduling challenges across casting and rolling operations

02

Comprehensive Constraint Management

Processes all critical operational parameters including width and gauge transitions, heat size requirements, grade transition rules, starting and tailing bars, total schedule length, and more

03

Automated Schedule Orchestration

Proprietary algorithm runs nightly to analyze the complete order book, evaluate new orders, reoptimize existing schedules (replacing filler bars when possible), and construct optimal new schedules
