Packaging challenges we solve
Penumbra doesn't like wasted capacity due to unnecessary changeovers and poor sequencing. Let's turn that wasted capacity to profit.
Unneccesary changeovers
Multiple SKUs running on the same lines require changeovers. Poor sequencing leads to excessive downtime and lost production capacity.

Tight Customer Windows
Just-in-time delivery requirements mean missing a window can result in penalties, returns, or lost customers. Schedule reliability is critical.

Material Availability
Coordinating resin deliveries, labels, inks, substrates and semi-finished productswith production schedules is complex. Material shortages cause costly line stoppages.

Capacity Balancing
Uneven scheduling across multiple lines and shared tools such as printing plates, leads to bottlenecks and idle equipment. Maximizing throughput requires intelligent load balancing.

Rush Orders
Customer rush orders disrupt the schedule and require quick re-optimization to meet commitments while optimizing the objective.

Accurate Available to Promise
Blind Sales over- or underestimate capacity, which directly causes loss as due dates are not met or production lines are idle. Fast simulations empower sales to know what to promise by when.

How Penumbra Optimizes Packaging Scheduling
Our optimization engine minimizes changeovers, maximizes throughputs, and ensures on-time delivery for high-volume packaging operations.
Changeover Optimization
Intelligent job sequencing minimizes changeover time by grouping similar products and optimizing the order of production runs.

Material & Resource Availability
Synchronize production schedules with material availability and resource capacity. Ensure substrates, inks, and components are ready when production needs them. And keep an eye on which tools are needed at which point. We even help you detect the bottlenecks here.
