Material losses
Anticipating what will be short or in excess avoids discarding work in process and reprocessing.
Solution by decision
Reduce costs by deciding better, not by cutting capacity
A large share of industrial cost comes from planning decisions: lost material, energy, movements, and waiting. Enacom Digital Twins bring these costs into the decision.
Where the costs a plan can avoid come from
Energy and fuel
Sequences that make better use of heat and equipment reduce consumption and emissions.
Movements and waiting
Fewer yard movements and shorter queues mean fewer equipment and crew hours.
Use of scarce resources
Water, fleet, and capacity are allocated considering the cost of each alternative.
