DISKOVER:
Behind the data lies the success
Statistics, algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI),
Machine learning (ML)
Optimization decisions in logistics and supply chain
management cannot be solved quickly and cost-effectively with static ERP systems and
classic algorithms.
As an add-on to ERP, DISKOVER solves tricky planning tasks
and relieves the burden through automation.
Contemporary digital technologies –
that work completely in the background.
CORE FUNCTIONS
TECHNOLOGIES
Heuristics and metaheuristics from
Artificial intelligence and machine
learning
The optimizer engine in DISKOVER works with heuristics and metaheuristics from the field of artificial intelligence and thus automatically and efficiently solves tricky optimization tasks in the background.
The Service Level Booster, for example, is based on the Optimizer engine. Based on the desired overall delivery capability of a complete range of articles, it can set the best delivery readiness level for each field of any structured product portfolio in such a way that the overall delivery readiness is achieved with the lowest possible safety stocks.
DISKOVER's PP/DS module also uses the Optimizer engine to schedule production orders against limited capacity while keeping adherence to delivery dates, productivity and throughput as high as possible.
VALUE STREAM
TECHNOLOGIES
Logistics simulation
DISKOVER's Simulation Engine provides you with a powerful tool for optimizing scheduling decisions or planning and scheduling strategies. DISKOVER's simulation options allow you to calculate and improve entire value streams, value chains and supply networks.
Numerous simulation processes in the background automatically optimize the analyses, planning and scheduling results without the users noticing.
LOGISTICS
BUSINESS MODEL
Ruleset engine
Simulation linked to rulesets and decision tables on any business objects: This is the basis of the DISKOVER ruleset engine.
This allows you to identify the economically optimal master data values for each individual item, automate master data maintenance and enable automatic scheduling processes.
PROGNOSIS
Safety stock
Automatic forecasting and
safety stock optimization using
simulation
Selecting the right forecast by comparing the forecast errors is mathematically inadequate. DISKOVER automatically optimizes forecasting methods and parameters together with safety stock methods and parameters for each individual item using empirical simulation.
You can determine for yourself which optimization targets are of interest to you, e.g. required delivery readiness with the lowest possible inventory.
PROGNOSE
Verteilungsform
Distribution-free processes
Demand for items is rarely normally distributed, which is why all classic forecast and safety stock formulas systematically miss the mark. DISKOVER therefore also uses so-called distribution-free methods, in which the distribution form of demand plays no role.
KI-GESTÜTZTE
PROGNOSE
Empirically tested neural networks
In addition to statistical methods, DISKOVER also makes extensive use of neural networks to forecast demand.
But even neural networks cannot predict chaotic behavior, can be overtrained or untrained, too sluggish or too dynamic, overfitting can occur or incorrect influencing variables can be overinterpreted.
For this reason, the results of neural networks are also checked by means of empirical simulation and must prove themselves in competition with other forecast variants in order to be used for the forecast of an article.
This all happens in the background without burdening the user.
MASTER DATA QUALITY
Automatic process and
parameter optimization through simulation
The DISKOVER simulation also allows you to automatically optimize and simulate processes or master data, e.g: Automatic selection of the best article-specific disposition procedure or the best batch size procedure.
PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
Automatic optimization of
delivery readiness levels in the product portfolio
In many cases, the readiness for delivery is set differently in different fields of a product portfolio in order to achieve a suitable compromise between readiness for delivery and required stock.
DISKOVER can make this setting automatically based on the desired total readiness for delivery of the product portfolio so that you can manage with the lowest possible stocks.
INNOVATION & PROGRESS
Forward-looking strategies
for the supply chain of tomorrow
Through our close cooperation with the Abels & Kemmner Group, we combine in-depth consulting knowledge with technical innovation to optimize supply chain management holistically. At DISKOVER, decades of experience and practice-oriented knowledge flow into the continuous further development of the software.
This comprehensive approach - which goes far beyond pure software solutions - gives us a decisive advantage: we look at the entire supply chain in all its complexity and develop tailor-made solutions that offer real added value both strategically and operationally.
Companies that trust
in our technologies
Ease of use...
"You won't find such ease of use in the scheduling tools of established ERP providers, despite the wide range of functions for basically every application."
Dietmar Henkler
Head of Supply Chain Management
Reproducible and reproducible...
"The sets of rules for the disposition parameters and various stockpiling strategies also reflect the expert knowledge and experience of the dispatchers and controllers. This means that the planning and scheduling results are reproducible and comprehensible for us at all times."
Marina Less
Head of Supply Chain Management
As if by magic...
"Today, nobody at HANSA-FLEX has to process BANFs or maintain master data. Replenishment now rolls in automatically as if by magic. The availability of articles is now much better than before. DISKOVER is now used to manage over 400 branches in Germany and abroad."
Christian-Hans Bültemeier
Management Board
The DISKOVER team will be happy to advise you on which software package
is right for your company.
