On March 24th and 25th, the NEO Summit 2026 will take place, bringing together experts and companies that are transforming their operations with technology and innovation.
Among the event’s highlights, Induscabos will present its success story on modernizing its PPCP (Production Planning and Control) with Opcenter APS and NEO solutions. The company will share how it managed to reduce the time for generating production orders by 98% and decrease delays by up to 20 days, achieving greater efficiency, agility, and predictability in production planning.
An opportunity to see, in practice, how technology can generate concrete results in industrial management.
What is the NEO SUMMIT?
The NEO Summit is an event dedicated to innovation, digital transformation, and the optimization of industrial processes, bringing together experts, industry leaders, and companies that use technology to increase operational efficiency.
During the event, real-world implementation case studies, technical lectures, and strategic discussions are presented on topics such as advanced planning, systems integration, Industry 4.0, and data-driven decision making. The goal is to share practical experiences and technological solutions that help organizations evolve their processes and improve results.
Overcoming challenges in production planning - a success story.
With a robust industrial operation and a portfolio of thousands of products, Induscabos faced an increasingly challenging scenario in its production planning and scheduling. The complexity of manufacturing electrical cables demands precise synchronization between various production stages and production lines, as well as efficient management of setups, intermediate inventories, and operational constraints.
In this context, manual planning began to limit the efficiency of the process. Generating production orders—around 3,000 per month—consumed a large part of the PPCP team’s time, requiring hundreds of hours of work and hindering the strategic analysis of the operation. Furthermore, the lack of medium- and long-term visibility impacted production predictability and contributed to delivery delays.
Technology and automation driving results
To address these challenges, Induscabos adopted a digital transformation approach in partnership with NEO Digital Industries, implementing Siemens’ Opcenter APS and developing an automated production order generator.
The solution allowed for digital modeling of factory complexity, optimization of production sequencing, reduction of setup times, and simulation of planning scenarios in just a few minutes. With the new order generator, a process that previously required approximately 270 hours of work per month is now completed in approximately 4.5 hours.
The gains were significant: a substantial reduction in order generation time, fewer delivery delays, and greater strategic planning capacity. With a more robust production planning and control base, Induscabos began to undertake more complex and higher value-added projects, strengthening its competitive position in the market and paving the way for new digital transformation initiatives.
