The key difference in our approach is that we do not simply automate production planning; instead, we begin with a process of digital re-engineering for your enterprise. In other words, our first step involves creating a digital twin (simulator) of your plant. We use this digital twin to test various hypotheses and explore ways to optimize production, ultimately leading to increased efficiency.

Following this comprehensive analysis, we collaboratively develop and implement an action plan to reorganize your production processes, aligning them with your specific goals. Only after this crucial step do we introduce an automation platform for planning. This platform is then integrated into the newly optimized system.

Our approach ensures that we do not automate existing "production chaos," but rather work towards achieving your specific objectives.

1. We offer an all-in-one production management platform that caters to all levels of your organization, from top executives to the shop floor. This means you can address both strategic and operational management tasks, including production dispatching, all on a single platform.

2. The BFG platform is built on simulation modeling, which ensures maximum efficiency even when making significant changes. It allows you to simulate your enterprise's activities at a virtual level, providing answers to questions like "what needs to change?" and "what will be the result?" This capability enables in-depth analysis of issues, problem-solving, and designing the production system to meet your specific goals.

3. "We are a system integrator whose main task is to optimize production activities. We use products from BFG Soft.
This provides several advantages:
a) Competitive prices for our products and services.
b) We implement product implementation and provide turnkey solutions to meet your unique needs.
c) Our team is ready to customize and adapt the platform to your specific requirements."

We understand this concern. Building a digital twin of a manufacturing system typically requires three types of data:

a) Nomenclature and product specifications;

b) Detailed process routes, including times and equipment connections;

c) Resources, including equipment and personnel.

In many cases, enterprises have the necessary data for nomenclature and resources, but issues often arise with technological routes and operation times.

However, we offer a solution. We have developed our own methodology and software that can efficiently validate and correct data within a relatively short period. Our entire project for collecting and verifying NSI data usually takes just 3-4 months.

These remarkable effects are achieved through two key features of the platform:

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI): Our platform utilizes AI to automatically create an optimal digital twin of your production process. No need to painstakingly describe business processes, relationships, rules, and processing priorities – AI takes care of it all. It ensures that your production plan is executed in the shortest possible time, resulting in increased productivity and reduced production cycles.

2. Simulation Modeling: The core of our platform is simulation modeling, allowing you to design and optimize your production system by simulating production processes. In cases where AI may not yield the desired effects, you have the flexibility to make virtual changes (such as adjustments to personnel, technology, equipment, or planning rules) that align with your goals. Once you've identified the ideal production system organization and assessed its performance – both in terms of production and economics – you can then implement these changes in your actual facility. In essence, simulation modeling provides a clear action plan to achieve your desired outcomes.

BFG's comprehensive enterprise management platform is designed to cater to the needs of users across all levels of management. Here's how it benefits each role

- Top Management (Owner, CEO): Our platform supports cost reduction initiatives, enhances enterprise competitiveness by reducing lead times, and provides real-time decision support.

- Chief Financial Officer: Enjoy cost reduction benefits, increased productivity, and a streamlined investment program.

- Development Director: Explore various options for technical re-equipment and business process transformation.

- Commercial Director: Gain the ability to efficiently manage urgent orders with estimated lead times and consistently meet contractual obligations.

- Production Director and Planning Department Manager: Benefit from order lead time forecasting and seamless order traceability within the production process.

- Foremen and Workers: Facilitate shop floor operations, assign daily tasks and shifts, and collect performance data.

The primary distinction lies in the automated construction of the simulation model. We don't require users to painstakingly describe the connections and rules of interaction among objects. Thanks to artificial intelligence, these elements are constructed automatically, optimizing the process to execute the plan in the shortest possible time.

Do I require specific training or skills to use the platform?

No, you don't need to be a programmer or possess any specialized skills to operate the platform. We offer comprehensive training on how to use the software effectively. Typically, 1-2 weeks of training is sufficient for you to become proficient in using the program independently.

Currently, you can view case study videos on our YouTube channel. Additionally, you have the option to arrange a reference visit to enterprises where the platform is already operational. Simply submit a request on our website, and we will get in touch with you to arrange a demonstration.

The pricing for our solution depends on several factors. First, it considers the number of machines or scheduling elements required. Additionally, if you need a dispatching system to manage job assignments and monitor work in progress at each workstation, this will also affect the cost.

Furthermore, the pricing for implementation services is influenced by the state of readiness of your MDM (Master Data Management) for creating a digital twin of your production system, as well as your level of involvement in the project.

To provide you with an accurate pricing estimate, we would need to conduct a more in-depth analysis of your specific processes. We can arrange a rapid audit to determine the precise cost based on your requirements and circumstances.

Absolutely, we can initiate the pilot on a single site initially. Furthermore, we are prepared to offer a complimentary demonstration using your data if you can gather the necessary information without the need for us to visit your facility. This demonstration process involves the following steps:

1. Training for data collection.

2. Development of a digital twin of your production system.

3. Granting online access to the platform.

4. Focusing on particular scenarios or demonstrating the capabilities of the digital twin platform tailored to your specific needs.

At the conclusion of this process, you will have a clear understanding of the potential benefits achievable through the BFG platform and the estimated payback period for the solution.
