Scheduling the movement and processing of materials under real-world constraints is an inherently complex activity. The operating philosophy of a refinery site or a terminal is a blend of fixed data, engineering and operational constraints, objectives, rules and policies, and learned or “tacit” knowledge. AVEVA Schedule AI Assistant technology captures and combines this knowledge in computer software to empower the scheduler in their day-to-day work. Our vision for the product is to increase business agility by facilitating decision-making processes, delivering robust execution plans quicker and providing what-if analyses across alternative scenarios.
