Roll-out refinement of production scheduling through dynamic product routing, considering real-time plant monitoring and optimal reaction strategies
Today an optimized and target-oriented use of resources is mandatory, and a major objective of advanced production planning. However, existing Production Planning Systems lack the flexibility to deal with unforeseeable events frequently appearing in real industrial.
Within the DynReAct PDP an open-source platform for dynamic production planning will be realized comprising the full exploitation of all available information coming from each plant involved to generate resource-optimized production plans for products of the highest reachable quality. The backbone of this platform will be built on a hierarchical planning system developed in the former RFCS project DynReAct (2019-2023) combining three different planning horizons to enable dynamic reactions to unforeseen events (short-term planning), while continuing to consider optimized mid-term and long-term planning strategies.
To improve the planning precision as well as the useability of the platform three further components will be implemented based on the DynReAct platform services.
- A Recommender system providing recommendations in-case of suboptimal planning situations.
- A Coil-order-allocation system providing optimized allocations of raw material to orders.
- A plant performance modelling system providing real-time estimations of plant performances concerning multiple aspects as use of resources or product quality.
An industrial DynReAct prototype for production scheduling will be realized at Rasselstein to demonstrate the applicability of the DynReAct platform in industrial practise that should reach TRL 7-8 at the end of the DynReAct PDP.
