Autonomous Factory Orchestration Platforms

Autonomous factory orchestration platforms sit above traditional MES and scheduling tools, ingesting data from PLCs, robots, warehouse systems, and ERP. Using multi-agent optimization, they continuously re-plan work orders, dynamically balance lines, and route materials to minimize changeovers and bottlenecks while respecting maintenance windows and labor constraints.
