AI that makes decisions on the shop floor

Models that catch defects with cameras, steer AGVs with reinforcement learning, rebuild the schedule around real constraints, and flag OEE deviations before you notice them — all running inside your MES layer.

Constraint-based and heuristic planning & scheduling algorithms
Reinforcement-learning (PPO) AGV/AMR dispatch decision engine — live reference case
Autonomous visual quality control for defect detection — live reference case
Ergonomics- and quality-focused personnel/video analysis
OEE anomaly agent: catches downtime/yield deviations and suggests root causes

Digital Work Instructions

Operator screen cards are generated automatically from CAD/BOM/process plans.

Operator Assistant (RAG)

Operators ask "how do I fix this fault?" at the terminal and get an instant answer pulled from the knowledge base.

Scrap Prediction & Shift Summary

Quality is predicted from process parameters, and an LLM writes the shift-close production report automatically.

Automatically generate your production plan based on capacity and materials

Accurate production planning is essential for meeting customer delivery commitments and using resources efficiently. AdAstra's production planning module optimizes your production schedule with master production schedule (MPS) creation based on sales orders and inventory, MRP runs to calculate material requirements, capacity balancing, and detailed scheduling.

Create MPS based on sales orders, inventory status, and safety stock parameters
Run MRP to automatically calculate material requirements from multi-level BOMs
Balance machine and workforce loads with finite capacity planning
Dynamically sequence work orders with a drag-and-drop scheduling interface
Quickly update plans for rush orders and changes; simulate the impact

MPS & MRP

Master production scheduling, material requirements planning, and multi-level BOM calculation.

Capacity Planning

Machine and workforce capacity analysis, load balancing, and bottleneck detection.

Scheduling

Detailed work order scheduling, drag-and-drop interface, and optimization.

Create, track, and digitalize work order completion processes

Work order management is the core tool for executing the production plan on the shop floor. AdAstra's work order module digitalizes the entire process end-to-end — creating planned production orders, releasing them, assigning them to operators, tracking material consumption, and recording completions. Monitor the cost, time, and quality performance of every work order in real time.

Automatically generate work orders from the planning module or enter them manually
Define routing per work order — set operation sequence, work center, and standard times
Track material withdrawals by work order; record scrap and losses
Report production start, completion, and downtime from operator terminals
Work order cost tracking: planned vs. actual materials, labor, and overhead

Work Order Management

Work order creation, release, tracking, and completion processes.

Operation Tracking

Work center and operation-based production tracking, standard time vs. performance comparison.

Material Consumption

Work order-based material withdrawal, scrap tracking, and cost calculation.

Measure and improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness in real time

OEE is the universal indicator of manufacturing performance, composed of availability, performance, and quality components. AdAstra's OEE solutions automatically collect machine data via IoT infrastructure and calculate OEE metrics in real time. Identify improvement priorities with six big loss analysis and track team performance against targets.

Automatically calculate OEE with availability, performance, and quality components
Categorize planned and unplanned downtime; identify the biggest losses with Pareto analysis
Compare ideal vs. actual production speed with cycle time analysis
Benchmark OEE by shift, line, machine, and product
Monitor overall factory performance on a single screen with instant OEE dashboards

OEE Tracking

Real-time OEE calculation, component analysis, and trend tracking.

Downtime Analysis

Downtime reasons, duration analysis, Pareto charts, and root cause identification.

Production Dashboard

Instant performance panels by factory, line, and machine.

Completely eliminate paper from the production line

Paper-based work orders, control forms, and instructions cause both time loss and data errors. AdAstra's paperless production solutions fully remove paper from the production line by providing digital work orders, visual work instructions, quality control forms, and production notifications on operator terminals. Data is instantly transferred to the system, eliminating reporting delays.

Display digital work orders on operator terminals (tablets, touchscreens, handheld devices)
Minimize operator errors with visual work instructions (photos, videos, technical drawings)
Instantly record inspection results with digital quality control forms
Enter production quantities, downtime reports, and material consumption via the terminal
Barcode/QR code scanning for material, work order, and operator authentication

Operator Terminal

Production interface on touchscreens, tablets, and handheld devices.

Digital Instructions

Digital delivery of visual work instructions, procedures, and technical documents.

Digital Forms

Digitalization of quality control checklists and production reporting forms.

Plan maintenance processes and minimize failures

Unplanned downtime is the biggest enemy of production efficiency. AdAstra's maintenance management solutions increase equipment reliability with preventive maintenance planning, failure notification and tracking, spare parts management, and predictive maintenance. Keep maintenance costs under control and extend equipment life.

Plan preventive maintenance schedules based on time, counter, or condition
Instantly create failure notifications from a mobile app or terminal
Assign maintenance work orders to technicians, prioritize, and track completion time
Ensure critical parts are always available with spare parts inventory management
Predictive maintenance: detect machine failure patterns from IoT data and intervene early

Maintenance Planning

Preventive maintenance schedules, periodic checks, and maintenance work orders.

Failure Management

Failure notification, assignment, tracking, and root cause analysis.

Spare Parts

Spare parts inventory management for maintenance, minimum stock levels, and auto-ordering.

Connect your production equipment to the digital platform

A truly digital factory requires the automatic transfer of data from production equipment into business systems. AdAstra's shop floor integration solutions connect the production floor to the digital platform by collecting data from PLCs, SCADA systems, sensors, and test equipment, converting protocols, and establishing automatic data flows.

Integration with PLCs and SCADA systems via OPC-UA, Modbus, and other industrial protocols
Automatically collect production counts, cycle times, and downtime information
Automatically receive test results from test equipment and transfer them to quality records
Automate work order start/completion signals with machine-ERP integration
Local data processing and low-latency communication with edge gateway solutions
