With QLECTOR LEAP, we have digitally mapped every process within our company, revolutionizing our operations. This allows us to swiftly and efficiently formulate our production plan, complete with auxiliary workstations. The true game-changer lies in the plan's automatic updates. Simultaneously, all subsidiary processes remain informed of any modifications

By bidding farewell to a multitude of Excel files once essential for production planning, we not only declutter but also reclaim valuable time. The era of manual updates is now behind us.
I wholeheartedly recommend Qlector Leap to those who have yet to establish a systematic production planning system and still rely on Microsoft programs. The tediousness of handling such files and their susceptibility to errors can now become a thing of the past

QLECTOR LEAP has enabled significant progress in production plan optimization, as it learns from historical data, optimizes the plan, and provides more optimal suggestions for planners and production.

The most useful functionalities include real-time inventory overview, scheduling of workers and tool changes, and a user-friendly experience for planners, who receive a Gantt chart and a real-time overview of weekly realization. Any changes made to the plan in SAP by the planner are immediately visible in LEAP, allowing us to see when we will have reconfigurations and reduces tool change time.
The condition for using QLECTOR LEAP is well-organized data. With this condition met, LEAP operates with great precision, which is why I would recommend it to other manufacturing companies.

QLECTOR LEAP has enabled the automation of planners' work, faster response to changes in production planning, and management of a larger number of machines.

The results are currently evident in shorter inventory lead times for binding unfinished production and semi-finished goods, where we observe a 10% improvement. I would also highlight the expertise and agility of the Qlector team in terms of understanding and adapting to our production planning peculiarities. Domel follows modern trends in digitization, which is why QLECTOR LEAP seamlessly integrates into the ERP and MES system and is certainly one of the AI integrated APS solutions worth exploring.
