Planify and Excellerant have announced a strategic partnership aimed at connecting real-time shop-floor machine data with finite, constraint-aware production scheduling. The collaboration is designed to help job shops and discrete manufacturers connect what is happening on the factory floor with what should happen next in production planning. The partnership brings together Excellerant’s machine monitoring and
Global manufacturing is increasingly built around supply chains where components may be designed in one country, machined in another and assembled somewhere else. That makes consistency and verification critical. For a manufacturer supplying international customers, producing one accurate component is not enough. The production process needs to repeatedly deliver components that meet the customer’s drawings,
