Siemens Opcenter APS Description

Digitalization is changing everything. Manufacturers must be able to react quickly and intelligently in an unanticipated change, while also being able respond to customer demands and have shorter lead times. These are not just challenges for large corporations, but also for small and medium businesses. Siemens Opcenter APS (previously Preactor APS), products were specifically designed to address this need. Advanced algorithms balance demand and allow for production schedules that are achievable.

Siemens Opcenter APS products are suitable for long-term strategic planning that spans months and years, as well as tactical planning that spans a few weeks. They can also be used for detailed scheduling and sequencing.

Siemens Opcenter APS is ready to use right out of the box. It can also be customized and configured as required. It can be used as a standalone tool to manage scheduling and planning, but it can also be integrated with other software.

    Probably the biggest APS Customer base in the world!

    Date: Feb 26 2020

    Summary: I've been working with Preactor for the last 22 years and it is a solid product with a huge base in almost every industry sector. For years Preactor was the best APS option for mid size industries around the world. It does require experts when you want to customize the solution for specific needs using custom scheduling rules.

    Positive: Clean User Interface makes it Very Ease to Use
    Very Flexible and Highly Configurable
    Usually Good ROI
    Siemens Product (now Opcenter APS)
    Very Fast and Reliable

    Negative: Single User
    Desktop Application
    Lack of KPI Reports
    Not Easy to Configure (Requires Preactor Experts)
    Materials Could be Better Handled
