apintra® Production Planning

Maximum Efficiency and Flexibility for Your Manufacturing

apintra® Production Planning and Control (PPC) optimizes your entire manufacturing process, delivering maximum transparency, efficiency, and agility. Powered by intelligent network planning, all production workflows are dynamically calculated and continuously adjusted in real time — from material availability and machine capacity to workforce allocation.

Flexible Production Control

• Dynamic adjustment of all production orders up to final scheduling
• Automatic recalculation of material and capacity requirements when changes occur
• Variant configuration with minimal setup effort
• Optimized BOM Processing for Maximum Efficiency

Bill of Materials (BOM) Management – Flexible and Intelligent

• Distinction between master BOMs and actual production BOMs
• Automatic BOM structure adjustments based on real-time production changes
• Support for sub-BOMs and outsourced production with separate work orders
• Integrated formula logic for custom calculations

Whether duplicates, recursive structures, or automatically calculated assemblies — apintra® enables maximum flexibility without the need for time-consuming data re-entry.

AI-Driven Network Planning – The Heart of Smart Production

With apintra®, production planning becomes intelligent, adaptive, and predictive. Our AI-supported network planning engine dynamically recalculates all dependencies in real time, ensuring optimal use of materials, machines, and human resources.

Core Features of apintra® Intelligent Network Planning

• Automatic recalculation of all dependencies whenever changes occur
• Real-time optimization of material, machine, and labor availability
• AI-powered demand forecasting to predict material shortages and production bottlenecks
• Forward and backward scheduling with AI-based bottleneck simulations
• Inclusion of buffer times to increase production reliability
• Dynamic adjustment for outsourced production and purchase order inventory
• Automatic sequence optimization based on historical data and AI predictions

Unlike traditional NetChange methods, apintra® recalculates every change from the ground up — always delivering the most efficient production sequence.

Integrated Data Collection – Live Insights from Shop Floor to Management

• BDE (Shop Floor Data Collection): Capture operational data and automatically link it to production orders.
• PZE (Personnel Time Tracking): Flexible shift models, piecework calculation, and integration with payroll systems.
• MDE (Machine Data Collection): Automated machine data capture for accurate production monitoring.
• All systems are fully integrated into the graphical control center, providing real-time visualizations of your production environment.
• AI-Supported Production Monitoring Continuously monitors operations, detects anomalies, and provides intelligent optimization recommendations.
