Opcenter APS Features
Opcenter APS includes algorithms that model finite capacity to create realistic schedules. It sequences production orders based on actual resource availability, ensuring that the plan generated is achievable on the shop floor and not just theoretical.
The software provides detailed visualization tools for complex assembly processes. Planners can view the entire production flow from raw materials to finished goods, allowing them to spot material shortages or potential bottlenecks instantly via an interface.
For electronics manufacturers, the SMT module optimizes product grouping and feeder setups. It reduces changeover times significantly by sequencing products with similar components, improving line efficiency specifically for the unique constraints of circuit board assembly.
The Opcenter Planning module functions as a strategic decision-support tool. It enables manufacturers to forecast months ahead, managing long-term capacity and material requirements to perfectly balance demand with available factory resources before production begins.
