PatternLab provides a cloud platform that creates a live digital twin of a factory’s capacity using plug‑and‑play sensors on production equipment. The AI engine transforms real‑time machine data into adaptive schedules, mapping capacity to orders and continuously adjusting for breakdowns, material delays, or rush jobs, helping manufacturers reduce working‑capital drag and improve on‑time delivery.

Problem
Manufacturers rely on ERP schedules that reflect theoretical capacity, while actual machine performance often deviates due to variable cycle times, idle periods, and changeover delays. This mismatch leads to late shipments, excess working capital, and reduced on‑time delivery performance.
Solution
PatternLab creates a live digital twin of a factory’s real capacity by attaching plug‑and‑play sensors to production equipment. The sensors capture cycle times, idle gaps, and changeover durations, which the Capacity Engine processes into actionable capacity data. This real‑time capacity model is mapped to each order, incorporating material availability, routing constraints, and multi‑strategy scheduling. The platform continuously adapts plans to reflect machine breakdowns, rush orders, or material delays, providing intelligent ripple analysis that shows the full impact of any change. By aligning production plans with actual factory conditions, manufacturers can reduce working‑capital drag and improve on‑time delivery guarantees.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mid‑size to large manufacturers that need accurate, real‑time capacity visibility to improve delivery performance and reduce working‑capital inefficiencies.
