AI-centric Automation Meets Intelligence

Boost throughput, cut downtime and grow margins, without the guesswork

Optimize Your Operations Today

The Next-Generation Data Infrastructure for Smart Manufacturing

Today's manufacturing success requires more than hard work - it demands smarter decisions driven by data. VLC Production Optimization, seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, delivers more than just system upgrades - it provides a robust, next-generation data infrastructure.

Our edge-to-cloud hybrid architecture ensures secure, real-time data streaming across your operations. With this foundation, you can transform raw production data into actionable insights, empowering your business to become more agile, customer-focused, and consistently profitable.

Adopt Smart Operations

Still Working the Hard Way? Why Not Invest in Data Infrastructure, Not equipment?

The new competitive advantage is no longer about new equipment but the smart management systems that operate on and learn through them. With our all-encompassing solution, you launch your Data Maturity Path and attain three main objectives:

Fast-track Production

Automate your production processes to optimize operations, cut emissions, and minimize production and delivery time.

Enhance Throughput

Reduce changeovers and ensure production is running smoothly with improved job control and real-time monitoring of the performance of all your workforce and key equipment.

Enhance Profitability

See the hidden losses, minimize waste, and free up greater profitability with smarter and leaner production enabled by unified operational intelligence and algorithmic understanding.

Major Capabilities: Making the Shift to Prescriptive Action

We unite the most significant instruments of modern manufacturing into a single platform, enabling the critical transition from reactive maintenance to proactive/prescriptive measures.

Core Optimization Goals

Accelerate Production Processes

Combine your equipment with new-generation automation to simplify the process, cut material wastage, and reduce the total manufacturing and delivery time each year.

Boost Throughput

Reduce interruptive changeovers and maintain production flow with optimal job management and constant real-time monitoring of the overall performance of all staff and key plant equipment.

Increase Profit Margins

Have a complete understanding of operational losses that exist in the margins, minimize systemic losses greatly, and gain access to greater profitability through smarter, leaner production fueled by integrated operational intelligence.

VLC Production Optimization Capabilities

Process & Production Monitoring

Get rid of Manual Data Collection

Real-time production data is collected at the machine source, providing high-fidelity data, freeing your valuable team for strategic work, and providing the accuracy of verifiable data to analyze.

Real-Time Insights

See all machine cycles and assets in real-time and use the embedded AI and Analytics in Microsoft Business Central to immediately detect both production bottlenecks and arising quality concerns.

Reduce Waste and Rework

Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Statistical Quality Control (SQC) data should be collected automatically, and errors prevented proactively, ensuring that less expensive products are rejected, contributing further to the total product yield.

Scheduling & Resource Management

Finite Planning

This maximizes resource value through a strategic planning model that optimizes the utilization of equipment resources, planned capacity, and special resource capabilities across the entire production plant.

Find and Schedule

View your dynamic schedule in real-time on Dynamics 365 Business Central tools and reporting interfaces to provide dependable delivery of all customer commitments.

Good Dispatching

The system clarifies instructions for delivering required supplies and materials to processing locations, ensuring production sequences always start on time.

Maintenance & Quality

Proactive/Prescriptive Maintenance

The AI-powered approach helps usher in a change from responding to issues to instead anticipating and avoiding unplanned machine downtimes, thereby removing costly emergency services.

Quality Control

Compare output measurements with the current engineering and customer standards using real-time operational data to ensure strict compliance with quality standards and prevent large fines.

Asset Lifecycle Optimization

Systematically monitor machine usage, service history, and condition data to streamline capital planning and maximize vital equipment lifespan.

The VLC Production Optimization Data Maturity Path

We help your factory pass through the necessary steps of digitalization:

Live Data Collection

Achieving high-fidelity, real-time performance metrics at the edge (shop floor) require the creation of robust data collection.

Connecting and Mapping Across Enterprise

The system links these live data feeds with Dynamics 365 Business Central to bring costs, inventory, and customer orders into cohesion.

Complex Analytics and Optimization

The usage of AI and machine learning on all the mapped data to provide predictive forecasts, advanced scheduling automation, and prescriptive advice.
