Overview
Cement production scheduling involves balancing multiple variables: raw material availability, kiln capacity, grinding mill schedules, power costs (time-of-use), clinker inventory, cement demand, and dispatch logistics. AhilyaSoft deploys AI-powered scheduling solutions that optimize these decisions holistically, ensuring maximum throughput at minimum cost while meeting customer delivery commitments.
Methodology
AI-based demand forecasting by product grade, region, and customer: integrating sales orders, historical patterns, and market signals.
Optimal scheduling of kiln, raw mill, and cement mill operations: considering energy costs, equipment maintenance windows, and inventory targets.
Schedule grinding operations to minimize energy cost using time-of-use tariffs, captive power availability, and grid constraints.
Integrated dispatch scheduling ensuring product availability aligns with customer delivery requirements and logistics constraints.
