Some key technologies include:
- Production planning and scheduling from customer order to delivery (meeting delivery dates, managing changes in production based on material and machine availability and actual outcome per operation).
- MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems): For real-time monitoring and control of production processes.
- IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things): to connect machines and collect data.
- Big Data and AI: To collect and analyze large amounts of data and improve production processes and decision-making (e.g. quality checks with AI or analysis of large amounts of process data)
- Automation and Robotics: To automate manual processes.
- Digital Twins: To quickly create digital copies of the production process and see the impact of changes digitally before they are introduced in reality.
