MFGLOGIC PRODUCT · AI SCHEDULINGFlagship Module

Stop scheduling by memory.

Plant Pilot turns live backlog, material availability, crew coverage, machine capacity, routing rules, and changeover penalties into an explainable, publish-ready production schedule.

Built for divergent manufacturers running high-SKU, high-changeover, constraint-heavy production.

THE CORE STORY

Schedulers know the plant. Plant Pilot captures the logic.

Schedulers spend 2–3 hours every morning sequencing production by memory. They know the plant, but the logic is trapped in their head, spreadsheets, tribal rules, and disconnected systems. Plant Pilot captures that operating logic, reads the live constraints, ranks schedule moves by ROI, and lets planners publish a better schedule with explanations and audit history.

DEMO FLOW

Live → Draft → Published.

The Plant Pilot demo prioritizes one clean flow. See the live schedule, load pending orders, review ranked recommendations, then publish to ERP.

STATE 1LIVE

See what's running now

Five workcenter swim lanes, job cards, changeover badges, baseline KPI strip, and a Gantt timeline of currently scheduled jobs.

STATE 2DRAFT

Review ranked AI moves

Pending jobs appear as amber ghost cards. AI recommendations are sorted by ROI. Apply one, apply all, or override. KPI strip updates live.

STATE 3PUBLISHED

Approve and write back

Ghost jobs become solid. KPI strip locks. Published to ERP banner appears. The decision journal logs the approval and predicted impact.

SCHEDULING FEATURES

A schedule board built for divergent plants.

Workcenter swim lanes

Five lanes covering Injection, CNC, Assembly, Coating, and Quality — each with current and queued jobs.

Ranked AI recommendations

Every recommendation is explained: what changes, why it matters, what it saves, and what risk it reduces.

Changeover badges

Sequence-dependent setup penalties show between jobs — and disappear when the AI clusters them.

Job detail drawer

One click into any job exposes routing, material, blockers, due date, and recommended moves.

Gantt timeline

Solid bars for live jobs, dashed bars for draft ghosts, due-date markers, and downtime windows.

Decision journal

Every load, apply, reject, override, draft reset, and publish is logged with predicted and actual impact.

CHANGEOVER INTELLIGENCE

The math behind the schedule.

Changeover rules are customer-configurable and plant-specific. Plant Pilot ships with a starter rule set you can tune.

RULE LIBRARY
PUR-TOGGLE
PUR Foam toggle
Toggling onto/off PUR Foam triggers a full clean cycle. Avoid alternating with non-PUR jobs.
90m
Penalty
COMPOUND-CHANGE
Compound change
Compound change inside the same family. Requires hopper purge and 1 startup check.
30m
Penalty
THICKNESS-DELTA
Thickness delta
Penalty per mil of thickness delta. Compounds over wide ranges.
3m
Penalty
WIDTH-CHANGE
Width change
Web width change requires reroll setup and tension reset.
5m
Penalty

These rules combine into the sequence-dependent setup model that drives every recommendation. The published model includes width, compound, thickness, family, tooling, and crew constraints.

RANKED RECOMMENDATIONS
#1
Move JOB-1842 ahead of JOB-1822 on Coating
Both jobs share PUR Foam family P19. Sequencing reduces a 90-minute PUR toggle and protects a critical due date.

1.4h ↓
#2
Group three Compound A12 jobs by setup family on INJ-1
Three pending A12 jobs share the same compound and width. Clustering removes two repeated cleaning cycles.
$2,850
3.8h ↓
#3
Insert JOB-1845 into CNC-A idle window
Fits an idle window without colliding with downstream Coating queue. Avoids late-risk on tomorrow's shift.
$1,575
2.1h ↓
#4
Promote JOB-1853 ahead of JOB-1812 on Assembly
Critical PC part for diagnostics — early Assembly avoids a downstream QC backlog and removes a risk flag.

Proof points reflect the active Plant Pilot demo model and plant-specific changeover economics. Customer results depend on data quality, routing complexity, constraint rules, and implementation scope.
