The combined offering leverages the strengths of both companies, to optimize performance across the value chain for manufacturers seeking to deploy integrated production planning and execution systems in order to increase their agility and supply chain resilience and deliver increased business returns in a volatile market. As a manufacturing planning and scheduling system provider, PlanetTogether resolves production and operational constraints and its integration with AVEVA MES enables supply chain planners to conduct realistic, integrated sales and operations planning based on actual plant capacity and material availability, with full visibility to progress against plan for on-time delivery at the lowest cost.

“Our partnership also speaks to our joint commitment to sustainability. Together, PlanetTogether and AVEVA enable customers to add sustainability drivers, such as energy use or greenhouse gas (GHG) to the optimization rules of the production schedule, resulting in less waste, and more responsible use of resources for production,” commented Harpreet Gulati, Senior Vice-President, Planning & Operations Business Unit at AVEVA.

Advanced Planning and Scheduling, delivered by PlanetTogether, simultaneously plans and schedules production based on available materials, labor, and machine capacity. The software, which has been successfully deployed in the Food and Beverage (F&B) and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) manufacturing industries, provides a proven vertical fit for AVEVA MES. The integration of both production planning and manufacturing execution into a single digital system represents the next step for manufacturers for growth and increased profitability.
