Semiconductor, power equipment, and electronics equipment manufacturers soon may get access to advanced shop floor scheduling and sequencing optimization software that has been proven in complex, high-volume automotive manufacturing environments. Top officials at scheduling optimization software provider Optessa Inc. say they are planning versions of their product tailored to those industries. The company will begin with a pilot test of the Optessa Multi-Line Scheduling (MLS) product in a semiconductor manufacturing plant later this year. "MLS has been used very effectively in large automotive manufacturing environments where complexity is high, where investment in production equipment is high, and where volumes are high," says Srinivas Netrakanti, Optessa's CEO. "We believe many of the same characteristics are present in the other manufacturing verticals that we are targeting." [Click to continue] |
