Factova RTS

A production scheduling solution that optimizes production plans for each process equipment in real time

WHY

Why Is It Needed?

To meet production targets within a set period (time bucket), scheduling is needed to determine product sequencing from the production plan. However, it is hard to set the work sequence of waiting lots for each piece of equipment given numerous constraints, the plan must be redone whenever production changes, defects, or equipment failures occur, and production operating efficiency varies with the planner's know-how.

Beyond automating equipment-level production plans, Factova RTS instantly rebuilds the optimal plan even in abnormal situations. It also predicts production changes in advance and optimizes in real time, so you can respond before variations occur.

KEY CAPABILITIES

Key Capabilities

01 Real-Time Equipment-Level Scheduling
Builds production plans for each process equipment in real time using What-If Simulation, optimization techniques, and heuristic methods
02 Integrated Management of Production Constraints
Systematically manages complex process conditions and constraints on the shop floor within the system
03 Intuitive Gantt Chart UI
A Gantt chart shows production model schedules by equipment and time slot at a glance, giving visibility into the plan
04 Execution Linked with RTD
Based on the RTS production plan, RTD instructs logistics moves between processes, automating through to production execution

Why LG CNS

01 Prediction-Based Real-Time Production Plan Optimization

Beyond automating equipment-level production plans, Factova RTS instantly rebuilds the optimal plan even in abnormal situations. It predicts production changes in advance and optimizes in real time, so you can respond before variations occur.

02 Seamless Production Operations from Planning to Execution

It receives WIP, production status, and constraint information from MES to build equipment-level plans, and connects through RTD to product move instructions for each piece of equipment. The plan, optimized in real time, flows directly into shop-floor execution.
