The challenge
What organisations face
Production schedules are rebuilt manually whenever an order changes, a supplier is late or a machine goes down. Planners juggle ERP data, spreadsheets and phone calls, so re-planning is slow, decisions are hard to explain and the knock-on effects on other orders are not visible until it is too late.
The solution
What VulcanTech engineers
VulcanTech would build a multi-agent system in which agents monitor orders, material availability and machine status, run constraint-based optimisation and demand forecasts, and propose revised schedules with an explanation of trade-offs. Planners compare scenarios and approve changes, which are written back to ERP and MES. Every recommendation and decision is logged for continuous improvement.
Expected outcomes
