How does NEO Digital Industries offer global expertise in Siemens Opcenter in the USA?
For US manufacturers, digital transformation is not optional; it's a competitive necessity. Advanced planning and scheduling need to be fast, accurate, and deeply aligned with operational realities. In this article, Thomas Schwab explains how NEO Digital Industries leads supply chain planning projects and Siemens Opcenter APS implementations, delivering proven results to the US, not just software installations.
For US manufacturers, digital transformation is not optional; it's a competitive necessity. Advanced planning and scheduling need to be fast, accurate, and deeply aligned with operational realities. NEO DigitalIndustries leads supply chain planning projects and Siemens Opcenter APS implementations, delivering proven results to the US, not just software installations.
What sets NEO Digital Industries apart?
Technology alone doesn't transform factories; it's effective implementation that makes the difference . NEO goes beyond simple system configuration and offers:
• Detailed analysis of operational flows
• Models that reflect the actual behavior of your plant
• Sequencing rules connected to true business objectives
• Solutions that planners rely on daily
This expertise ensures that Siemens Opcenter APS is not just installed – it makes a real impact on planning.
A good example is ArcelorMittal, a global leader in the steel sector. After implementing Opcenter APS with NEO, the company It reduced machine downtime by 45% and decreased inventory coverage by 14% , demonstrating how tailored sequencing and business rules generate measurable gains.
Why is in-depth knowledge of primary health care so important?
Many manufacturers underestimate the level of expertise that Opcenter APS requires. Its value is directly linked to the quality of the implementation. NEO offers:
• Multi-sector experience in complex and dynamic production environments
• Unique ability to model constraints, resources, and routes to reflect your real-world environment.
• Deep understanding of the logic and daily challenges faced by planners
• Focus on results, measured by throughput, service level, reliability, and stability.
How does NEO's partnership with Kudos Solutions benefit US customers?
NEO US is a joint venture with Kudos Solutions, Siemens specialists with strong local experience in the USA, delivering:
• Greater scalability and technical capability
• Dedicated local support for North American manufacturers
• Over 800 active Opcenter APS licenses
This combined strength enables frictionless implementations and robust continuous service for large industrial operations.
What is NPLAN and how does it enhance Opcenter?
NPLAN is NEO's supply chain planning platform, built on practical manufacturing knowledge and customer feedback. It offers planners:
• Creating scenarios quickly and flexibly
• Clear visibility into constraints and capabilities
• Fluid collaboration between production, supply chain and leadership
• Rapid responses to disruptions and changes
NPLAN does not compete with Opcenter – it amplifies its impact by mirroring the reality of the plant and allowing planners to make faster, data-driven decisions.
How does NEO's customer service stand out?
It's not just about technology, but about how NEO works with its clients:
• No “one size fits all” configurations
• Total transparency, no "black box" models
• Continuous validation with planners and operationsmes
• Clear alignment between APS models and actual plant behavior.
This approach builds lasting partnerships and high satisfaction .
For example, the Malwee Group used NEO's customized rules and mobile integration to optimize sewing production, achieving a 44% reduction in order reallocations and a nearly 90% drop in internal markdowns , demonstrating excellence in operational and supply chain coordination .
Why should US manufacturers pay attention to NEO?
Manufacturers are looking for:
• Predictable and reliable planning
• Reduced reliance on spreadsheets
• Better alignment between planning and execution
• More resilient and flexible supply chains
• Tools for faster and more reliable decisions
Software alone is not enough — NEO's expertise generates results through in-depth knowledge, practical implementation, and innovative solutions.
