Rockwell Automation Finite Scheduler

What Rockwell Automation Finite Scheduler is

Rockwell Automation Finite Scheduler is a containerized API application for finite-capacity production scheduling. It uses manufacturing process data to support scheduling accuracy, throughput, and on-time delivery, and is described as ERP- and MES-agnostic. Its schedules can account for workforce availability and equipment downtime, along with resources such as tooling, storage devices, labor pools, and employees with specific skills or certifications. Process models can include setup, cycle, teardown, and clean-down steps, as well as capacity and buffer types and wait-time constraints. The application can generate and regenerate optimized production schedules for different business objectives. An interactive graphical interface lets users review schedules and participate in optimization. Rockwell presents it to manufacturers modernizing production scheduling, with intended benefits that include greater production agility, reduced work-in-process inventory, improved on-time delivery, and shorter changeover or setup times. The product is paid, with pricing available on request. Rockwell invites prospective customers to request an in-depth demo or speak with a smart manufacturing expert.
