With A+W Capacity Planner, you can optimize production progress and costs by considering fixed processing times and campaign planning. By taking this information into account, you can reserve capacities and prioritize customer groups for streamlined order processing. Additionally, you can maintain control with detailed production progress displays and integration with A+W Barcode Manager and/or A+W Production Terminals. By being able to scale and combine A+W modules, you have more control and understand of every process in your facility.
