EASY API INTEGRATION
Simple integration in your existing ERP or business software via REST API
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL TARGET OPTIMIZATION
Deadlines, setup savings, lead times – balances rivaling planning targets
CONTINUOUS OPTIMIZATION
New or changed orders are continuously added to the production plan
The game changer in production planning:
Artificial Intelligence optimizes production planning and machine scheduling.
Smaller orders, shorter delivery times, greater material diversity: production planning is getting more complex and fast-paced, often requiring the “steady hand” of an experienced human planner and time-consuming rescheduling in the event of changes. AI Planning will do this for you in the future. The AI generates an optimized production plan and machine schedule and saves time and money.
Your Key Benefits
The core challenge in production scheduling is the conflict between competing objectives: Meeting deadlines, saving setup time, minimizing lead times or achieving high capacity utilization are usually conflicting goals.
AI Planning balances these goals according to your weights and creates a good compromise between meeting deadlines and setup efficient machine scheduling.
This multi-dimensional optimization capability is the key advancement and advantage of AI Planning.

Optimal production planning
The role of artificial intelligence in production planning becomes particularly clear when it comes to achieving “optimal planning”. This goal comes with several critical aspects:
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL CONSIDERATION OF YOUR KEY PLANNING CONCERNS
The key advantage of C3 AI is its multi-dimensional optimization capability. This means that C3 AI balances competing goals. For example, C3 AI finds the optimal trade-off between absolute on-time delivery and set-up efficient machine schedulung. C3 AI helps you optimize your production planning in terms of costs, setup time savings, deadlines, overall equipment efficiency (OEE) or any other aspect you require.
MEET DELIVERY DEADLINES
A key objective is to meet deadlines. As many jobs as possible should be completed on time, or at least with minimal delays.
SAVING OF SETUP TIME AND MATERIAL
By optimizing the order of jobs on each machine, changeovers are kept to a minimum. This saves you money in setup time and materials.
SHORT LEAD TIMES
Short throughput times minimize capital tie-up and the need for semi-finished product storage space. Fewer pending orders mean less complexity.
HIGH OEE
Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) should always be a goal and means as little idle time as possible.
From operational challenges to optimal planning
quick RESCHEDULING
New orders, changes in delivery dates, breakdowns, etc., require continuous rescheduling or replanning. The “human” planner will be reluctant to completely discard the existing plan, but will incorporate the new situation into the existing plan as best he can – in order to maintain the existing work.
GLOBAL PLANniNG
Instead of isolated siloed approaches in individual departments, AI planning enables holistic, cross-departmental planning. This fosters collaboration and improves overall efficiency as all processes are seamlessly coordinated.
PERSONNEL BOTTLENECK WITH HIGHLY Skilled EMPLOYEES
The shortage of skilled labor is a fact. Finding a highly skilled production planner with an eye for order coordination is getting harder every day. Particularly in specialized production environments. C3 AI is a reliable partner who can take over this task, leaving your highly specialized employees free to concentrate on strategic matters.
Conclusion: Artificial intelligence as a game changer
These goals compete with each other. Operational challenges make planning even more complex. This is where C3 AI comes into play. It is able to find the right balance between these goals, rescheduling at lightning speed and going the extra mile when a single new order would require everything to be rescheduled for optimal planning.
