Food & Beverage challenges we solve
Optimizing operations as a whole is only one side of the coin. Although we're very good at it. Use the scheduler also as a analysis tool.
Nesting as sub-challenge
Integrate nesting in schedule optimization. We're optimization experts. We can handle it.
Shared Tooling Constraints
The manufacturing environment poses some practical issues, like the available tools at disposal. These constraints are all handled. We go even further and tell you which tools can are bottlenecks in your shop.
Fast throughput
A lot of different orders in small volumes? That causes a lot of changeovers! We handle these issues in our optimizations.
Rush orders
Changing priorities, sudden orders that come in. re-optimize in seconds and fit them into your operations seamlessly.
Capacity planning?
Do you want to know when you can promise an order. Just re-optimize and a minute later, you get back to your customer with not only an estimated price, also a competitive delivery time.
Focus on the real bottleneck
Shift the work put into planning and analyzing your operations to what really matters. Take on the bottlenecks and really optimize your operations.
How Penumbra transforms Food & Beverage Scheduling
Our optimization engine handles the complexity of metal sheet manufacturing job shop scheduling and it's sub-problems, delivering feasible, optimized schedules in seconds.
Intelligent Optimization
Model not only scheduling problems, but other sub-problems like nesting in one tool.
Nesting integration
Changeover Optimization
Sub problem 3
Workforce optimization
Automatically assign operators based on certifications, skills, and qualifications. Balance workload while ensuring only qualified personnel perform critical operations.
Certification tracking & enforcement
Skill-based assignment
Operator bottleneck identification
Critical Tool Optimization
Maximize utilization of expensive, specialized equipment. Minimize setup times and reduce bottlenecks on critical machines like CNC mills and heat treat furnaces. Also supporting special tool cases like retained molds and racks.
