The reliable spine
The non-AI spine carries it: rules that compare the order book and brand schedules against machine availability and flag schedule-versus-capacity conflicts and at-risk jobs days earlier. The planner decides; the layer only warns.
Plastics & Packaging Converters
Read-only schedule sanity layer
The schedule lives on a whiteboard or in one planner's head; brand schedules arrive by email and WhatsApp; at-risk jobs are discovered late, causing missed dispatches and penalty events.
Who has it
Every converter, strongest for flexible packaging converters and corrugated and rigid box makers, where brand schedules and on-time penalties are tightest.
What we build
A read-only layer over the order book, brand schedules and machine availability that flags schedule-versus-capacity conflicts and at-risk jobs days earlier. The planner decides; the layer only warns.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is confined to reading brand schedules that arrive by email and WhatsApp and lining them up against the order book and machine calendar so conflicts surface; it raises the warning, it never commits a delivery date or reschedules a job.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
At-risk jobs surface days earlier, so there are fewer missed dispatches and penalties, and penalty events on key accounts fall.
Illustrative outcome
At-risk jobs surface days earlier, so there are fewer missed dispatches and penalties, and penalty events on key accounts fall. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
