FELIOS in practice

Dear prospective customers,

The demands on production planning are rising: increasing complexity, volatile markets and growing competitive pressure. How do successful machinery and plant manufacturers meet these challenges in practice?

Two formats – one goal: experiencing it in practice. Whether on site at a company or in a compact online session: The FELIOS Practice Days and Practice Insights give you real insights into production planning with FELIOS – straight from the users.

FELIOS Practice Days

On site with a user – for a whole day

At the FELIOS Practice Days, you visit one of our users and experience FELIOS in real-world operation. You gain insights into projects, the introduction of the software and how it is used in day-to-day work. A plant tour is usually part of the day as well.

Talking with users and FELIOS experts, you can ask your questions and find out how challenges in production planning are solved.

FELIOS Practice Insights

Online & compact – insights into the system

The FELIOS Practice Insights are short online sessions. A user shows you live how typical planning processes are implemented with FELIOS and which functions are in use.

You can ask questions – both to the user and to a FELIOS expert. This gives you a practical impression in a short time – flexibly and without travelling.
