Case Study

"I would like to thank the Greycon team for the implementation of our new MES in our Varennes site.

"The implementation of Greycon’s X-Trim solution in Cosmo Films has been proven to be one of our best IT solution investments. This automation of the deckle planning process has enabled Cosmo to save not only a substantial amount of time... but also reduce the number of blade changes resulting in increased machine throughput."

Functional Highlights

Multi-primary Machine Solutions

Manage multiple primary machines, whether these represent machines in different sites or master stock of different sizes while also taking into account transportation costs and load planning issues. Given an order that may be split across more than one primary machine, the program determines how best to split it according to optimization criteria and run-length constraints.

Associated with each primary machine there is an operating cost and the value of waste; these are used for global optimization.

Stock Conversion Module

Meet orders from any mixture of finished and semi-finished products, including the following routes:
•      Jumbo reel stock
•      Parent reel stock
•      Sheet stock
Users can also consider using obsolete stock, trimming around defects on jumbo stock reels, while taking care to only place splice-tolerant orders on top.

Incorporating Machine Learning

By predicting the outcome with realistic accuracy, machine learning within the software allows the user to better decide how to make use of their time. For mid & large solutions, machine learning can predict the likely benefits of applying pattern reduction.

Refined models will become available and deployed as training sets are extended.

Position Constraints

Each order may have a position constraint, such as “not at the edge” for situations where the profile characteristics of the primary machine are perceived to be non-uniform. Other position constraints include front & back, left & right, minimum distance from the edge, and various other options.

Knife Change Minimization

Sophisticated mathematical optimization can post-process a solution to achieve minimum knife changes, changing the sequence of the patterns and the parent reels within them. This can achieve savings, depending on the circumstances, of over 40%.

Integration

Our solutions seamlessly integrate into many popular industry platforms, bringing together world-leading expertise to help our customers capture the benefits of both services.

This includes SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and various commercial ERP systems.
