Different enterprises have varying requirements for APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling) production scheduling when building smart factories. When changes occur on the production floor, significant time and resources are often needed to update the initial APS system. To help enterprises reduce the costs of building smart factories, Alps System Integration (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (referred to as "ALSI") has developed an APS planning and scheduling system. The system is deployed on a SaaS platform, which incorporates standardized processes. Customers can self-order the required functionalities, enabling flexible and customizable planning and scheduling, thereby helping businesses achieve standardized operations.

Developing a successful standardized platform demands high technical expertise from IT companies. Compared to traditional APS development, the APS planning and scheduling system created by ALSI poses greater challenges in terms of computing power, storage, and performance. To generate optimal scheduling solutions, extensive professional calculations are required. Serving all customers via the SaaS platform, ALSI also invests substantial effort, with engineers dedicating anywhere from half a year to several years to the production floor, striving to incorporate as many on-site elements and possibilities of the smart factory into the system. By simplifying the factory with a standardized system, ALSI helps customers maximize cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
