Production scheduling built for seafood processors
News! Production Scheduling built for seafood processors
CAI Software, the company behind Maritech, has acquired PlanetTogether, an Advanced Planning and Scheduling platform used by processors and manufacturers to build production schedules that account for real constraints: machine capacity, labor, materials, and sequence-dependent changeovers.
For a seafood processor, that means a schedule that already knows your species mix, your changeover requirements between runs, and your plant capacity, instead of a plan that gets rebuilt by hand every time volume shifts or a load comes in late.
What this looks like in practice for a plant like yours
- Production schedules that adjust automatically when catch volume or species mix changes
- Changeover and cleaning requirements built into the plan, not managed on a whiteboard
- Visibility across multiple plants if you run more than one facility
- A plan your team can rerun in seconds when a rush order or a late delivery hits, instead of losing an afternoon to rescheduling
“Scheduling now takes about 15 minutes. PlanetTogether paid for itself in six months.”
— Dick Marx, Materials Manager, Knapheide Truck Equipment
Maritech already gives you traceability and catch-weight accuracy. PlanetTogether adds the planning layer on top, so the schedule that drives your floor is built around your actual constraints, not a spreadsheet.
Food production customers running PlanetTogether have seen schedule accuracy improve by up to 90% and production output grow by up to 25%. That’s the gap between planning on a guess and planning on a live picture of the floor.
