Companies of all sizes looking for a powerful Production Scheduling solution

About Siemens Opcenter APS

Digitalization is changing everything, and manufacturers must react quickly and intelligently to unexpected changes, while being able to respond to shorter lead times and satisfy customer demands. These challenges are faced not only by large enterprises, but also small and medium businesses. Siemens Opcenter APS (formerly Preactor APS) products have been specifically developed to meet this need, using advanced algorithms that balance demand and capacity to generate achievable production schedules. Siemens Opcenter APS products can be used for long-term strategic planning covering months and years, medium-term tactical planning with a few weeks planning horizon and for detailed sequencing and scheduling.

Siemens Opcenter APS can be installed out of the box, and can be customized and configured where necessary. It can be used standalone to manage planning and scheduling, and is also designed for integration with other software.

    "Probably the biggest APS Customer base in the world! "

    Posted 2020-02-26

    Pros: Clean User Interface makes it Very Ease to Use
    Very Flexible and Highly Configurable
    Usually Good ROI
    Siemens Product (now Opcenter APS)
    Very Fast and Reliable

    Cons: Single User
    Desktop Application
    Lack of KPI Reports
    Not Easy to Configure (Requires Preactor Experts)
    Materials Could be Better Handled

    Overall: I've been working with Preactor for the last 22 years and it is a solid product with a huge base in almost every industry sector. For years Preactor was the best APS option for mid size industries around the world. It does require experts when you want to customize the solution for specific needs using custom scheduling rules.
