BetaPlanner Cold & Finishing
BetaPlanner automatically generates mill schedules and handles all important aspects in the milling process including upstream and downstream constraints. It serves as a decision support solution for the mill scheduling. The generated schedules can be modified and have to be accepted before releasing it to production. BetaPlanner can be used for all mill based production processes including hot strip mills, cold mills, coating lines and other finishing processes.
Based on the available material units (coils) and the assigned mill production orders, BetaPlanner generates mill coil sequences considering the technological and logistical rules and constraints of the mill.
BetaPlanner is highly configurable and allows the creation and customization of scenarios often used during the scheduling of the mill (e.g. time horizon for scheduling, material yard implications, production order situation ...). BetaPlanner's flexible and configurable optimization algorithm uses exclusive scoring functions to direct the search and the optimization.
BetaPlanner is also capable to schedule multiple parallel processing mills (BetaPlanner Multi) such as multiple galvanization lines sharing the same inventory.
The solutions proposed by the SteelPlanner SYM system are based on cutting edge optimization algorithms specifically developed for yard management in the steel industry.
