Amiba APS Advanced Intelligent Scheduling System

Independently developed for the PCB and FPC industries, the Amiba APS Advanced Intelligent Scheduling System acts as an optimization engine for production planning. It delivers precise scheduling and dynamic adjustment under finite capacity constraints amid high-mix, low-volume manufacturing scenarios with intricate processes.

Equipped with a logical rule engine, the system incorporates all constraints into its calculation model, including equipment capacity, product changeover time, process dwell and transfer time, equipment matching logic, work center capacity and factory shift calendars. Following pre-defined order priority rules, it conducts forward scheduling process by process and order by order, pinpointing the exact start and end time of each procedure on designated machines to generate shop-floor feasible schedules.

At the order quotation evaluation stage, the system runs simulated scheduling based on real-time WIP status and remaining capacity to rapidly generate estimated delivery dates and recommended material release timelines, equipping sales teams with reliable data to commit lead times to customers. During production execution, rush order insertion triggers one-click intelligent rescheduling. The system automatically rearranges all work orders by delivery urgency and priority, clearly identifying processes requiring buffer or overtime arrangements.

Meanwhile, it monitors schedule execution in real time, automatically comparing target vs. committed delivery dates and issuing early warning alerts upon deviations to enable proactive management intervention. The scheduling output synchronously generates process-level material demand as well as tooling and fixture requirement plans, offering precise guidance for warehouse material preparation and procurement.

Replacing manual experience with algorithmic computation and institutionalizing scheduling rules via digital systems, Amiba APS helps circuit board manufacturers balance capacity, stabilize on-time delivery and optimize the allocation of manufacturing resources.

Application Scenarios

Pre-order simulated scheduling & delivery commitment, plus automatic scheduling and real-time dynamic monitoring for daily production

At the order receiving stage, the system executes second-level simulated scheduling based on real-time WIP status, equipment capacity and resource load. It outputs the estimated delivery date and optimal material release timeline for the new order, equipping sales teams with data-backed delivery commitments to eliminate delivery delays caused by blind order acceptance at the source.

During production execution, the system runs fully constrained automatic scheduling daily for all released and in-process work orders, calculating the precise start and finish time of every process for each work order. When rush orders are inserted, one-click intelligent rescheduling is available to automatically reoptimize the sequence of all work orders.

Throughout scheduling execution, the system monitors deviations between target and committed delivery dates in real time and triggers proactive alerts upon identifying delay risks, enabling managers to take preventive intervention in advance. Scheduling results synchronously generate process-level material requirement plans as well as mold and fixture demand plans, delivering precise guidance for warehouse material preparation and procurement operations.

Core Functions

○Amiba Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS) System can significantly boost planning capabilities and rapid response efficiency across all departments, improve on-time delivery rate and cut production costs simultaneously.
○Amiba APS Advanced Scheduling System supports interactive scheduling, automatic scheduling and manual scheduling.
○The Amiba APS Advanced Scheduling System enables refined scheduling down to individual processes and machines.
○Amiba APS Advanced Scheduling System supports overtime alert for production processes.
○Amiba APS Advanced Scheduling System supports delivery date simulation during order entry.
○Detailed production plans for each process work center
○Daily material requirements by process work center: For each production order quantity assigned to the work center, the system lists all required materials and corresponding consumption volumes. Warehouses can prepare materials strictly in accordance with this plan, ensuring materials arrive at the right time with exact quantities, neither surplus nor shortage.
○Shortage Summary for Warehouse Material Preparation Plan It consolidates total material quantities required for production and the corresponding shortages against current inventory, serving as core reference for material chasing.
○Real-time Mold & Fixture Demand List It clearly shows which production order, process work center and specific procedure each set of molds and fixtures is required for.
