Summary Opcenter™ software is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, the comprehensive and integrated portfolio of software, hardware and services. Opcenter APS is a family of production planning and scheduling products that help you synchronize your manufacturing processes. This gives you greater visibility and control to increase resource utilization and on-time delivery while reducing inventory levels and waste. Opcenter APS is a highly customizable capacity planning and scheduling package.

Features • Multi-dataset scheduling statistics heatmap. • Multi-dataset editing within sequencer. • Unattended event script console for workflow execution. • Opcenter APS Anywhere – viewer (XaaS) support. • MOM portfolio integration compatibility.

Multi-dataset scheduling statistics heatmap The new scheduling statistics feature provides you with a graphical dashboard of your scheduling key performance indicators (KPIs), showing how many orders and operations are on-time, late or at risk. The scheduling statistics heatmap allows a production scheduler to quickly compare different scheduling scenarios and identify the impact of any production deviation changes. Flexible editor and colour coding allow you to personalize the dashboard.

Multi-dataset editors You can now view and edit related transactional data while using the sequencer from Opcenter Scheduling. Giving the production scheduler access to the underlying data helps you control your production plan.

It is now possible to edit any associated data table within the sequencer, for instance, being able to edit the supply or demand information that affects the milestones found on the planning board.

Opcenter APS Anywhere – viewer (XaaS) support Opcenter APS Anywhere – viewer is a browser-based software as a service (SaaS) offering for Opcenter Scheduling. Opcenter APS Anywhere – viewer launched in 2022 and is a companion product for Opcenter Scheduling, allowing you to visualize a published schedule through a browser anywhere. Opcenter APS Anywhere is available to all XaaS subscription customers.

MOM portfolio integration compatibility Opcenter APS supports various integrations across the manufacturing operations management (MOM) portfolio. This release supports compatibility with Opcenter Execution Discrete 4.4/2207, Opcenter Execution Process 4.4/2207, Opcenter Scheduling SMT 2210 and Opcenter RD&L 2204 (update 5). This release also supports the integration of Siemens Digital Logistics (AX4) for retrieval of the latest raw material information.

You can now use Opcenter Planning Ultimate to create master production orders and integrate planning and scheduling applications. Master production orders are created based on the master production scheduling (MPS) results achieved within the planner application, creating unique orders for consumption in scheduling.
