What is Siemens Opcenter APS?

The manufacturing sector is experiencing a remarkable evolution driven by digital advancements, pushing businesses to quickly and intelligently respond to unexpected changes while also managing shorter lead times and meeting customer demands effectively. This challenge is not limited to large enterprises; smaller and medium-sized businesses are similarly impacted. In response to these issues, Siemens has introduced Opcenter APS (formerly recognized as Preactor APS), utilizing advanced algorithms to synchronize demand with production capacity, thereby creating realistic production schedules. These solutions are adaptable for various planning horizons, encompassing long-term strategic planning that may last months or years, as well as medium-term tactical planning that covers several weeks, in addition to managing complex sequencing and scheduling requirements. Notably, Siemens Opcenter APS is ready for prompt deployment and can be customized according to specific needs, operating independently for planning and scheduling purposes while being able to integrate seamlessly with other software systems to boost overall operational effectiveness. This flexibility ensures that manufacturers can maintain competitiveness in an increasingly digital marketplace.
