Plataine Introduces Total Production Optimization Solutions for Upholstery Furniture Manufacturers

Solution combines real-time shop-floor data with advanced nesting and production scheduling capabilities

Ball Ground, Georgia, November 15, 2007 – Plataine, a leading provider of production optimization software, announced the availability of a new software solution that enables unprecedented levels of production optimization for upholstery furniture manufacturers.

 

Plataine's Total Production Optimization solution is unique in its ability to help manufacturers plan and execute production processes while simultaneously optimizing material utilization, machine productivity, and overall production schedules.

 

Based on the status of each order and every machine at any given time, the system can automatically generate real-time optimized production schedules combined with optimized nesting and machine tool paths for each order.

 

In addition, Plataine's Total Production Optimization provides real-time measurement of material utilization, employee and machine performance, and many other productivity metrics, going above and beyond the level of information provided by existing production systems. With this information readily available, production managers can make timely decisions that result in greater productivity and timelier product deliveries.

 

“Over many years of working closely with manufacturers, we have recognized the need for a solution that would collect critical data from the shop-floor and enable production managers to optimize decisions based on this information,” said Elery Pfeffer, Plataine's President. “Customers that are currently implementing the solution are already recording measurable productivity gains, and the reaction is extremely enthusiastic.”
