aPlanner for Heavy Industry
Optimize project-based planning with long-horizon simulation and resource optimization.
Target figures are design targets from simulation on synthetic fab data. aPlanner has no customer deployments yet; first pilot results are expected in 2027.
Heavy Industry Market
Heavy industry requires planning intelligence built for project-based complexity
Heavy industry manufacturing operates on timescales measured in months and years, not days and weeks. Each project is unique, resources are scarce and specialized, and the cost of delays is measured in millions. Planning tools designed for repetitive manufacturing simply do not work here.
How aPlanner addresses heavy industry challenges
aPlanner brings long-horizon planning intelligence to project-based manufacturing — optimizing resource allocation, integrating with project management, and enabling portfolio-level scenario analysis.
Long-horizon planning
Multi-year planning horizons with appropriate detail at each stage of the project lifecycle. See the full picture from order intake through delivery.
Resource optimization
Balance skilled labor, equipment, and materials across multiple projects simultaneously. aPlanner finds the optimal allocation across your portfolio.
Project integration
Connect with project management systems to align production planning with project milestones. One integrated schedule from sales through delivery.
Portfolio scenario planning
Evaluate the impact of new orders, delays, and resource constraints on the entire portfolio. Make booking decisions with full visibility into capacity impact.
