Production software from iFAKT GmbH that combines ERP data with a digital twin of manufacturing and AI to optimize production schedules, reveal bottlenecks and improve on-time delivery.

Description

iFAKT Polaris, also called Polaris IMS, is the production software of iFAKT GmbH from Stuttgart. iFAKT presents it as "AI + Digital Twin for Production": Polaris takes order and master data from the ERP system and combines it with a digital twin of the factory, so that schedules can be optimized, bottlenecks become visible and on-time delivery improves.

Scheduling in Polaris is constraint-based and considers resources, skills, shifts and buffers. What-if simulations show the effect of a change before it is made, and a KPI cockpit tracks lead time, work in progress, utilization and on-time delivery.

Polaris is built from seven modules: Polaris VSM (data-based value stream mapping of material and information flows), Polaris BSM (business swimlane modelling of processes and responsibilities), Polaris Designer (product-process-resource knowledge graph as a single source of truth), Polaris Simulator (virtual tests of capacity, staffing and buffer scenarios), Polaris Optimizer (automatically generated production plans under constraints such as resources, shifts, zones, qualifications and capacities), Polaris Operator (time-based tasks on the shop floor with real-time feedback) and Polaris Analyzer (KPI dashboards across the modules with plan versus actual).
