We offer the ideal solutions for digitizing the supply chain of the ceramics and glass industry. And we can prove it.

Stocks, Lots and Capacity.

The ceramics and glass industry is a complex operation, both in terms of production planning and scheduling and distribution. One of the sector's main challenges is the lack of predictability of delivery times, based on the real limitations of the factory. This is because production capacity is limited by kiln capacity and finishing processes, with significant preparation times when there are changes in temperature and format.

Companies in the segment served:

Neo supports you in all your supply chain planning, from the long to the short term, dealing with sector characteristics such as batches, shade, gauge, production optimization by format and material, glazing, temperature ramps and physical space limitations for stocks.

We combine consultative expertise with cutting-edge technologies.

Get to know Opcenter APS

As the largest Siemens partner in the Planning and Scheduling portfolio in Latin America, certified Smart Expert, we have implemented the world's leading Opcenter APS software, designed to use advanced heuristics to balance demand and capacity and achieve optimized Production Planning and Sequencing.

Get to know nPLAN

nPlan is an innovative advanced production scenario planning platform developed by NEO with the mission of revolutionizing the digital acceleration of the Supply Chain. Generate your production planning scenarios in an agile, reliable and collaborative way.

Get to know Plannera

Aligning the whole company around common objectives is no easy task. Conflicting goals, misaligned decisions and internal squabbles are common in companies without structured integrated planning. And this leads to worsening service levels, inefficient use of working capital and assets and, at the end of the day, lower margins. The Plannera solution helps you establish, evolve and organize your S&OP process, giving everyone clarity on what needs to be done, and why.

Get to know Evocon

Simples e ágil, digitalize os dados da sua fábrica e otimize o desempenho dos seus equipamentos ao máximo. Evocon é combinação de IOT e software plug-in-play para ajudar entender o comportamento da sua fábrica de maneira fácil e intuitiva.

Meet the AX4

AX4 is logistics management software developed by Siemens Digital Logistics to optimize and simplify logistics management. Combining advanced technology and a customer-centric approach, AX4 offers an efficient way to manage transport operations, supplier deliveries, dock management, freight payments and much more.

Production Predictability

Working with natural raw materials, there is little predictability in terms of quality, tone and batch, as well as a high degree of variation in formats and finishes.

Resource Maintenance

Extensive need for maintenance of equipment, production lines and tools such as molds and presses.

Caliber and tone

Inventory management with control of variations in caliber and tone, as well as glass laminations, make production more complex.

S&OE and Reprogramming

Dynamic production environment with changes in service priority, production delays and machine breakdowns.

What is expected with our projects:

Stock reduction

Better synchronization between operations allows for a reduction in lead time, which reduces your WIP and allows you to also reduce your stock of finished products, since resupply is faster. The agility of the solution also allows you to react quickly to changes in demand to avoid unnecessary stocks.

Increased Productivity

Scheduling rules will group similar items together, reducing setup times that don't add value. Better synchronization allows waiting times to be reduced, generating more value directly for the product and making better use of the company's assets.

Reducing Delays

Visibility, agility in scheduling and greater assertiveness in plans allows delays and disruptions to be reduced because they are identified in advance, allowing simulations to be carried out to take preventive action and eliminate them. All this with scenarios that guarantee availability without jeopardizing service.

More agility

More difficult than planning is replanning. A machine breakdown, a rework on a component or a change in demand for an item can generate a cascading effect to reprogram the entire factory. Responding to this reality quickly and with a good plan allows PPCP's work to be more analytical and decisive, rather than operational.
