Overview
WHAT IT DOES
Sugar and distillery operations involve complex, interdependent decisions: cane allocation, sugar vs ethanol vs ENA product mix, steam and power balance, and market timing. AhilyaSoft's planning and scheduling solution, powered by the AASP (AI Autonomous Sugar Platform) framework, integrates all these variables into a unified optimization model that maximizes total complex profitability across the crushing season.
Methodology
HOW IT WORKS
Cane Supply Modelling
Forecasting cane availability, quality (Brix, POL, fiber), and logistics constraints across the crushing season.
Product Mix Optimization
Dynamic optimization of sugar vs ethanol vs ENA vs RS product mix based on current prices, inventory, and production constraints.
Energy Balance Planning
Integrated steam and power planning: bagasse utilization, turbine loading, and power export optimization alongside production planning.
Rolling Schedule Execution
Week-by-week rolling schedule with daily adjustments based on actual cane quality, market prices, and equipment availability.
Platform Solution
AASP: AI-DRIVEN AUTONOMOUS SUGAR PLATFORM
A first-of-its-kind AI/ML-based industrial solver platform integrating planning, scheduling, optimization, and execution across the entire sugar value chain, transforming plants from reactive to autonomous operations.
