Case Study: ABB Switzerland achieves more efficient production planning with valantic waySuite

ABB improves production planning with Valantic and 120 Excel tools replaced

ABB Switzerland, a leading global technology company, faced significant challenges in production planning due to its highly complex, customer-specific manufacturing of drives and batteries. Their previous system, reliant on over 120 different Excel tools and ERP scheduling with unlimited capacities, was inefficient, leading to frequent last-minute rescheduling, high storage costs, and a lack of real-time data. They partnered with valantic to implement the waySuite solution to address these issues.

valantic implemented its wayRTS and wayWFM modules from the waySuite to provide real-time, dynamic capacity and resource planning. This solution gave ABB a solid decision-making basis with up-to-date information, optimized assembly space, and improved personnel deployment planning. The results included improved on-time delivery, early detection of potential delays, and enhanced transparency for communicating with customers and suppliers, significantly benefiting ABB's production planning efficiency.
