Orchestrate assists with two areas of work where purpose built tools are few and far between. To begin with, it provides the process engineer with a user friendly tool for capacity analysis. Secondly, having invested much time and money in plant design, the same Orchestrate model can then be used for daily production scheduling and planning.
Orchestrate has seen an equal amount of success when integrated into plant design programmes and also as part of a programme to identify and solve bottleneck problems in existing, well established plants.

Reduce Time To Market
There is much reference material with regards to process knowledge management as a method of accelerating time to market. In summary, if we could utilise that same data at the design stage, pilot stage and the commercial production stage, then there would be much to gain.
Orchestrate scheduling software extends this argument by providing a common dataset and interface for each individual stage of the production process. With Orchestrate scheduling software the plant can be operated identical assumptions and constraints to those used at the design stage.
As a result, another major advantage of using Orchestrate is that the software system can hold process templates for particular products and processes. Thus the company’s intellectual property can then be reused for the latest products and new plants. In effect, we would not need to “reinvent the wheel” every time we use the system. So, through using Orchestrate for new plant design, plant modification and daily planning, the plant design process can be accelerated and, therefore, we can decrease the time to market. Read more…….
