The optimization and simulation engine to drive your industrial performance
What if your industrial decisions were made based on the best possible scenario?
Planora is an advanced simulation and optimization tool dedicated to industrial scheduling and strategic decision-making. It combines:
- Intelligent optimization engine
- Dynamic flow simulation
- Customizable multi-criteria fitness function
- Decision dashboards in Power BI
A powerful optimization engine
Planora integrates an advanced optimization algorithm capable of exploring thousands of scenarios in just a few minutes. It automatically optimizes:
- Manufacturing order start dates
- Production priorities
- Machine and operator utilization
- Changeover times (setup / changeover)
- Capacity constraints
- Tardiness penalties
- Customer service rates
The configurable fitness function
You define your strategic priorities:
- Minimize makespan
- Reduce delays
- Maximize service rate
- Improve OEE
- Smooth resource load
The engine automatically calculates and selects the best overall scenario.
Realistic industrial simulation
Unlike static tools, Planora is based on dynamic flow simulation:
- Machines with MTBF / MTTR
- Breakdowns and degraded mode operation
- Human constraints
- Multiple capacities
- Configurable priority rules
- Complex flow logic
Each optimized scenario is validated by simulation, ensuring a realistic and actionable result.
Decision dashboards
As output, Planora automatically generates key performance indicators visualized in Power BI dashboards:
- Detailed machine Gantt chart
- Utilization rates
- Delay analysis
- OEE breakdown (setup, processing, queuing)
- Load histograms
- Multi-scenario comparison
In just a few clicks, you can visualize:
- The optimal scenario
- Performance / load / deadline trade-offs
- Measurable gains
ERP integration
Planora can be connected to your information system:
- ERP data import
- Automatic export of optimized scenarios
- Seamless integration without changing team habits
