Why the current approach does not scale
Laser, punching, bending and welding resources have different capabilities, while sheet material, tools/dies, routing dependencies and setups interact. Mixed-order scheduling often creates local bottlenecks.

Model fabrication resources, capability, shifts, tools/dies, material and operation sequence in AiPS. Generate finite-capacity operation schedules and optimize due dates, load and setup.
AiPS performs operation scheduling; PLM + ERP Lite supplies routing and tooling resources; DataEx Hub can connect machines, MES and shop-floor reporting.
Less waiting and local WIP buildup between operations
Higher utilization of critical resources
Lower manual planning and setup loss
More predictable order delivery
Load sheet-metal orders/routings and create a finite-capacity plan under machine, tool and shift constraints, then inspect bottlenecks.
