ROB-EX Scheduler

Achieve dynamic and effective production schedules in real time.

ROB-EX

Overview

Optimize Production with Better Planning

ROB-EX Scheduler, part of the Proficy family, enables companies to create and maintain dynamic and efficient production orders in real time based on resources and asset capacity. This modular production scheduling system can be used as a complete standalone planning solution or integrated easily with ERP and MES systems.

ROB-EX Scheduler tracks actual measured production, consumption, waste, and yields and updates ERP and MES systems automatically. It also provides reports and analysis tools.

Simplify Scheduling with an Interactive Graphical View
By providing an interactive graphical view of the production plan across the plant, ROB-EX Scheduler enables planners to easily schedule and execute production orders then monitor the progress to ensure more efficient production operations.

Shorten Lead Times
ROB-EX Scheduler minimizes the effects that result from accommodating variations and enables rescheduling based on capacity changes. ROB-EX Scheduler provides automated rules and easy-to-configure routes and resources to offer an integrated view of plant resources.

Facilitate Product Routings
By offering both forward and backward planning, ROB-EX Scheduler facilitates the configuration of product routings and resources (staff, materials, equipment) for short-, mid-, and long-term planning.

Prevent Bottlenecks and Material Shortages
Avoid delays by having ROB-EX Scheduler adjust resources in advance. For fully integrated solutions, ROB-EX Scheduler can also alert the ERP system to make the necessary changes in resources and materials.

We have increased our capacity by approximately 20% by using the [GE Vernova] software, especially the planning tool. We have less gaps between the process orders, which means decreased lead times for the customer.

For information where and when you need it, ROB-EX Scheduler allows access through several clients. In addition to the Planner, ROB-EX Scheduler includes viewer read-only access. Viewers have the same access as the Planner but without the ability to edit the plan. Viewers can:

• View the latest plan
• Search the order list
• Zoom into operations
• View and color code activities
• Leverage Gantt chart viewer, workload graphs, color coding, order lists, and standard reports

Additionally, a Web browser application for iPads, tablets and smartphones allows the remote operator access to online job lists to monitor production progress, view the status of activities, and report on the status of each job, which updates the planner real time. This allows the planner to make on-the-spot adjustments and updates to the plan.
