The steel and metals production chain is long and each different product must go through a specific set of processes, all with their own unique restrictions and characteristics. Both the pressure for high productivity and the complexity of each manufacturing process lead to seeking optimal local results rather them optimizing the whole chain and getting larger overall benefits.

Applying sophisticated algorithms to production planning allows us to incorporate the intricate restrictions of steel and metals processing steps and, therefore, deliver an optimized plan that provides real and tangible support to plan schedulers. With a feasible plan in hands, they are able to get the most out of their equipment and leverage productivity in each of the following production steps.
