Pages 4 Pages

Solarlux GmbH implemented Dualis IT's FUTURESIM Pro—powered by GANTTPLAN optimization and VISUAL COMPONENTS 3D suite—for Industry 4.0 surface coating production. The software simulates paint-line configurations, coordinates SAP ERP iDocs for orders/materials, and manages communications with automation systems like PLCs and overhead conveyors. It generates optimized daily schedules factoring batch colors, carriers, and capacities—providing delay predictions, real-time progress tracking via PDA events, and detailed control. Developed with Rippert, this master control center maximizes throughput, eliminates bottlenecks, and ensures scalable planning for precise profile coating operations.
