Boost your business
As a result of specializing in production planning and having a diverse background, our team has a thorough understanding of complementary services. In addition to our proprietary algorithms, we offer a wide range of services such as:
- data visualization and forecasting
- counseling production enhancements
- consultancy and integration support
- …as well as much more upon request
Blue Academy
Our software platform is easy to use and learn. It’s so simple that you can learn it while working on it, but to make it easier, we have made our Blue Academy automatically available for everyone that likes to prepare in advance.
Blue Academy was created as a platform to help you better understand business logic and change your implementation. Technical documentation, how-to videos, and other resources are available here.
Integrating Blue Star platform
Our planning and scheduling software platform is the backbone of our company. We are especially proud of the platform’s extensive list of APIs, which allows for extensive integration with existing software and hardware environments.
Moreover, each implementation partner has a personal custom environment in which they use and visualize its datasets. Because all of the information is stored in the cloud, you can access it at any time and from any location.
Quick and low-cost integration
Our low-code Blue Star Planning platform is designed to quickly integrate with your existing environment. Extensive APIs enable integration with all of the functions that our platform provides, allowing low-cost and quick integration while maintaining all the customization options for your production. Due to extensive connectivity, we go several steps further in planning and scheduling services, which is why we have divided our integration steps into four different sections that we call pillars.
1st pillar
Out-of-the-box, Blue Star Planning offers an integrated software solution to automate your production planning. Advanced algorithms determine an optimal production sequence for each machine and between all departments. Plan proposals are created automatically and what-if scenarios can be run through. So you can be up and running quickly with better production planning.
2nd pillar
Optimal production planning takes into account the right combination of production orders on each machine. If necessary, production data is enriched and combinations are calculated correctly. Shorter set-up times, less material consumption. In this way, the optimization of production planning goes even further.
3rd pillar
The key to good production planning is taking all dependencies into account when defining production processes. In addition to the delivery date of articles, this also includes the availability of tools and materials. When do the raw materials arrive and how do you distribute them to the different customers? These constraints are all taken into account when a planning proposal is generated.
4th pillar
Establishing a good plan sequence is the first step to efficient production. Production progress can also be monitored through real-time registrations. Forecasts and signaling are then possible and you can really “overview” the production progress!
The shop floor control provides even more clarity. This performance data can be used for insights into the shop floor, but also for machine learning and even better planning. In this way we support continuous improvement and operational excellence.
