We chose Adastra’s OptiSuite optimisation tool. Thanks to it, we increased performance without expanding capacity and expect benefits of up to EUR 10 million over five years. Adastra helped us set up processes, data, and planning so that AI could finally work with what was actually happening in production. As a result, efficiency increased from 60 % to 85–90 %, and planning stopped failing.

For a long time, we were struggling with the time-efficient processing of hundreds of research papers to get insight into the latest technology trends. The software application developed by Adastra AI allows us to process orders of magnitude more documents in a fraction of the time. Now, we are ready to scale our business.

We cannot continue with Excel files anymore. We cooperated with Adastra on this topic — they had the expertise on ESG reporting and Microsoft Sustainability Manager, and together we developed a data collector. We collect the data from all our locations and pull it into Microsoft Sustainability Manager, where the calculations happen automatically.

Manufacturing FAQ

How can AI improve production planning in manufacturing?

AI turns planning from a manual, expert-dependent task into a data-driven process. Adastra OptiSuite optimizes schedules against capacity, materials, staffing and machine reconfigurations, so production flows smoothly and inventory stays under control. Manufacturers typically see a 5 to 15% increase in production productivity and a return on investment within 3 to 6 months.

Adastra follows four steps: analysis of existing processes and planning criteria in about 4 weeks, a working prototype in 4 to 6 weeks, development and customization in 6 to 12 weeks, and integration into your corporate environment in 6 to 12 weeks. Total timing depends on the availability and quality of your data.

Adastra reduces costs through dynamically adjusted schedules based on asset-tracking sensors, predictive maintenance that cuts downtime and waste, and streamlined planning, budgeting and forecasting. In one project, a 6-week proof of concept led to a 2 to 5% scrap reduction and $1 million in savings per year for the manufacturer.

Capture planning knowledge in systems, not just in people. Adastra translates the rules and experience of your best planners into an AI-supported planning model, so schedules stay consistent when experts are absent or leave. New planners ramp up faster, and the whole team works from the same transparent logic and data.

Adastra validates data accuracy, checks completeness and consolidates data from machines, ERP and planning systems into secure, accessible storage. Reliable data matters because every planning, maintenance and cost decision depends on it. Inaccurate data leads to wrong schedules, wasted material and missed delivery dates, while trusted data supports confident, fast decisions.

Yes, in many cases. Predictive maintenance uses sensor and machine data to detect early signs of wear or malfunction and schedules interventions before failures happen. Adastra builds these failure prevention models and integrates them into maintenance planning, which reduces unplanned downtime, waste and emergency repair costs across your production lines.

Measure energy and material consumption in detail, then optimize. Adastra connects production, energy and supply chain data to show where emissions arise, and uses optimization models to reduce consumption to a minimum without hurting output. You get the transparent figures needed for sustainability reporting and concrete actions to lower both emissions and cost.
