Project and assembly planning

Greater transparency and efficiency in your project and assembly planning

The module can be used independently or as an extension to FELIOS | APS to seamlessly integrate project- and assembly-oriented planning into production planning.

Your challenges

  • Departments plan separately – Excel, gut feeling, data silos
  • No consistent connection between project status and assembly progress
  • Bottlenecks, missing parts, and schedule delays are commonplace

Without digital project and intelligent assembly planning, transparency and efficiency in production planning fall by the wayside.

the solution

FELIOS | PM brings all information sources together in a central project management system. It connects project, material, and assembly planning on a single platform—specially developed for mechanical and plant e

This significantly reduces manual planning effort: All project participants have access to a shared, constantly updated database—across departments and transparently along the entire value chain.

The intuitive user interface ensures that each department sees exactly the information and tasks that are relevant to them – for maximum clarity and efficient collaboration.

Your added value

  • Consistent, cross-departmental planning from design to assembly
  • Complete transparency across all resources, deadlines, and dependencies
  • Realistic capacity planning with automatic coordination of personnel, materials, storage locations, and assembly areas – taking qualifications and availability into account.
  • Early warning system for bottlenecks, deadline risks, and missing parts – including intelligent recommendations for action and integrated missing parts tracking to ensure material availability in all assembly phases
  • Intelligent task management with role-based dashboards and automatic delegation – changes can be implemented, tasks assigned, or coordination meetings initiated with just one click
  • Flexible mapping of workstation and cycle assembly – individually adaptable to your manufacturing processes
  • Seamless integration into existing ERP and MES systems – open interfaces ensure the automatic exchange of master data, orders, and feedback
  • Modular expandability with additional functions – for example, with FELIOS | SPE for shift and employee scheduling, FELIOS | PDA & FELIOS | MDA for operational and machine data collection, or FELIOS | BI for reporting and key figure analysis
