Multi-Ply Components Ltd Boosts Efficiency and Production Throughput with Plataine’s AI-powered Production Planning & Scheduling

Published

on

New AI solution cuts planning time from hours to minutes, optimizes decisions for purchasing additional resources and automates both short and long-term planning of over 10,000 tasks

MILTON KEYNES, England, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — International Composites Summit – Plataine, a leading provider of AI-powered optimization solutions, is pleased to announce that Multi-Ply Components Ltd., a UK-based global leader in the design and manufacture of carbon fiber components for medical x-ray imaging, has successfully implemented Plataine’s AI-powered Production Scheduler, enhancing their production efficiency. With over 35 years of expertise, Multi-Ply has established itself as a specialist in delivering high-quality components to leading manufacturers of medical equipment.

“We manage to smoothly transition our planning process into a digital one, allowing us to create accurate and optimized production plans in large scale in several minutes, and improve factory throughput.” Lucas Morgan, Technical & NPI Director at Multi-Ply

Prior to deploying Plataine’s solution, Multi-Ply’s production planning process was fragmented and time-consuming, with the planner spending hours each week creating plans using a spreadsheet. Department managers had to then develop more detailed specific departmental plans. The manual process was laborious, lacked real-time visibility into order progress, causing delays in identifying and addressing unexpected issues on the factory floor. In addition, the spreadsheet could not support strategic decisions of buying new equipment and presenting the impact of future investments.

By implementing Plataine’s AI-powered Production Scheduler, Multi-Ply is transforming its planning and production process, allowing the company to automatically generate an optimized and highly detailed three-month production plan within minutes. The work orders are automatically transferred from SAP to Plataine software via API. Plataine’s Production Scheduler efficiently manages over 10,000 tasks across 40 stations and 19 departments, drastically reducing the planners’ workload, allowing them to respond to issues as they occur and keep the plan up to date. The solution provides real-time visibility into production progress, enabling operators to report on task start and completion instantly, eliminating the need for daily updates and production meetings to spot issues. Multi-Ply production planner can now quickly respond to unexpected changes on the factory floor, improving throughput and overall operational efficiency.

As per strategic planning, the ability to run sandbox simulations supports long-term planning and smart procurement decisions, enabling the production team to optimize decisions for purchasing additional resources, managing inventory efficiently and adding more shifts when necessary. With Plataine each strategic decision can be quickly simulated and justified.
Lucas Morgan, Technical & NPI Director at Multi-Ply, commented: “I am excited to work with Plataine, as we manage to smoothly transition our planning process into a digital one, allowing us to create accurate and optimized production plans in large scale in several minutes, and improve factory throughput. In addition, the functionality to test various scenarios is priceless, giving us the ability to justify the need and cost of additional resources. With Plataine, our production leaders have full visibility of production progress in real-time, enabling us to make data-driven operational and strategic decisions. This is a long-term journey together”

Avner Ben-Bassat, President & CEO of Plataine: “We are thrilled to be working with Multi-Ply, a company that shares our passion for innovation and excellence. By implementing our AI-powered solutions, Multi-Ply is not only leading the way in their industry but also scaling their operations to maximize resource utilization, achieve higher quality, and drive growth.”

Niutech at the Forefront: U.S.-China Circular Economy Forum Tackles “White Pollution”

Published

on

By

BEIJING, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 6, 2024, the inaugural U.S.-China Circular Economy Cooperation Forum was held in Beijing. The forum, guided by the U.S.-China Climate Action Working Group Circular Economy Task Force, was co-organized by the China Circular Economy Association and the US-China Business Council. The forum brought together approximately 460 distinguished guests from the National Development and Reform Commission of China, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other government departments, as well as industry experts, business representatives and scientific research institutions of the two countries. As the domestic leader in continuous pyrolysis technology, Niutech was invited to attend the forum and gave an insightful speech on the topic of waste plastic recycling, and the issues of ‘white pollution’ that can result from it.

The forum was strategically designed to advance the goals outlined in the U.S.-China “The Sunnylands Statement on Enhancing Cooperation to Address the Climate Crisis”. It aimed to create a collaborative platform for both countries’ business community, social organizations, and research institutions to foster exchanges and drive tangible cooperation in the circular economy. 

Zhao Chenxin, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, John Podesta, Senior Advisor to the U.S. President on International Climate Policy, Liu Zhenmin, China’s Special Envoy for Climate Change Affairs, and Nicholas Burns, U.S. Ambassador to China attended the opening ceremony of the Forum and delivered a speech, and Xie Feng, Chinese Ambassador to the U.S., made a video message. Deputy Director Zhao Chenxin said that addressing climate change is a common cause for all mankind and cannot be separated from the cooperation between the two global forces, China and the United States.

At the forum, as the international expert in continuous pyrolysis technology, the corporate representative of Niutech shared the cases of waste plastic chemical recycling projects deployed with international giants BASF and Quantafuel in Denmark, Thailand and other countries. This technology enables the transformation of low-value, mixed, and contaminated waste plastics into high-quality fuel oil. 

The fuel oil derived from this process can undergo further refining into naphtha, a critical raw material in the production of new plastics. This advanced recycling process not only diverts plastics from landfills and the environment but also contributes to a circular economy by turning waste into a valuable resource.
