Smart AI colleague for production planners
"Al van in het eerste gesprek was duidelijk dat het team bij Flanders Make ons heel gericht zou kunnen helpen"
Challenge
Smarter planning for complex production
In the textile and plastics industry, production planning is precision work: different machines, materials and operators must be deployed optimally, while downtime, changeovers and energy consumption must be kept to a minimum. Rush orders and unexpected situations make this process even more challenging.
Technologies
AI assistant as a proactive colleague
Together with BMSvision, we developed an AI-driven planning assistant that uses data analysis to propose alternative scenarios. This provides the planner with suggestions for more efficient, energy-efficient or less failure-prone options, which enhances flexibility and decision-making.
Reasoning and Acting Technologies
For intelligent decision-making and the orchestration of (autonomous) actions.
Result
Efficiency that pays off
The proof-of-concept demonstrates that the AI assistant makes planning demonstrably more efficient, with a direct impact on cost savings and productivity. Thanks to the collaboration and support provided by VLAIO, BMSvision is now working on a market-ready product for the sector.
