Below you can see information and view online demos of various Preactor tools.

If you would like to download a working demo of Preactor, please contact us.

v10.0 APS-ERP Demo This example shows how Preactor 400 APS can work with products with deep Bills of Materials (BOM). It demonstrates how Preactor typically works with an ERP system that provides Preactor with orders for each level of the BOM that enables Preactor to peg together dependent orders to ensure the correct sequencing of production when materials made (or purchased) from one of more producing orders can be allocated to one or more consuming orders. Show Demo.

v10.0 Moulding Demo This example shows how Preactor 300 FCS is used in an injection moulding machine application where the changeover time is dependent on material colour, resin type and tool. The number of staff for changeover tasks is a constraint as well as tools. Products can only be moulded on certain types of machine and moulds can have a variable number of cavities that will change the total run time. The application also uses transfer batching between moulding and packing operations. Show Demo.

v10.0 Toolroom Demo Part 1 This example shows Preactor being used in a Commercial Toolroom. It can be run in version P300 and upwards. The system has been configured for a company that has no ERP system or does not have the manufacturing modules of such as system implemented. Typically a tool room has no standard products, each assembly may be completely new so tools have been added to add sales orders, enter the process route with estimated process times, add priority calculations depending on the complexity of the assembly and update the system with part progress. Additional reports have been created to see the relationship between orders, parts and materials availability. Show Demo.

v10.0 Apparel Demo Part 1 This example shows Preactor being used to plan in a company where sewing lines are the key resources. It can be run in version P400 and upwards. The system has been configured for a company that has no ERP system or does not have the manufacturing modules of such as system implemented. Thus it deals not only with allocation of batches to the sewing lines based on style, customer and other attributes, but also with order entry, materials required, batch updates and range of other add-ons configured for Apparel manufacturing. While the focus of the planning process is the sewing lines, the application also deals with upstream processes such as cutting and downstream processes such as embroidery and packing. Using this tool, planners can use standard scheduling rules to optimise production throughput but also interact with the plan by dragging, dropping and splitting batches as required. Show Demo.

v10.0 Job Shop Demo Part 1 This example shows some of the features and functions available within all Preactor finite scheduling applications such as Preactor 100, 200 and 300. It models a jobshop environment where the main constraints are machines, staff, tools and power. It has its own Products (routing) datatable and orders can be entered manually or imported from another application Show Demo.
