Manufacturing
Test every line and process change in simulation first.
Antinuous builds line and process models from your cycle times and sensor data and runs many scenarios at once as code. Each result links to the data and code behind it.
Use cases
Watch material prices and supplier risk
Planners often learn about cost changes or late deliveries after the budget is already hit.
You ask
Each month, update producer price trends for steel and copper, and check news and filings for our top ten suppliers. Flag anything that changes.
What it does
- Antinuous pulls official producer price series on a schedule.
- It searches news and company filings for each supplier.
- It updates a research sheet and flags new changes with sources.
You get
A sheet and price chart that update monthly and flag changes.
