nextMO is our AI-based solution for discrete manufacturing and consists of three elements: The nextMO OPTIMIZIER plans the production sequence of all workpieces - with minimal set-up times for the entire production process. It optimizes capacity utilization and production times even with highly dynamic parallel production. The nextMO SIMULATOR is the digital twin of production and enables the optimization of future order scenarios. The simulator also independently makes suggestions for improving the production facilities. The nextMO CONDITION MONITORING reports the real utilization of the machine and gives the optimizer feedback for improvement. The machine status in real time enables the optimizer to dynamically improve the production sequence.
Potential production volumes are often not achieved during the operation of a plant. There are many reasons for this: the set-up times of machines between production steps take longer than planned, urgently required workpieces (preliminary products) are not available or an important machine breaks down at short notice.
Manual adjustment or even optimization of production processes in real time is then too complex and time-consuming. This situation will be made even more difficult in future by the shortage of skilled workers and the expected retirement of many experienced employees.
nextMO relies on artificial intelligence and analyzes all available data. Unlike MES systems, our software solution takes into account all workpieces passing through production and the status of the machines, among other things.
As a result nextMO can:
With nextMO, your production processes become continuously more efficient and reliable:
