Use Case: Optimzing autocave allocation

Sterilize the right equipment at the right time,
reduce the total number of autoclave cycles used per year.

Increase Production Capacity

For many organizations, synchronizing operations and ensuring tools are sterile at the right time and place can be a major bottleneck in the production line. Ensuring sterility and quality of pharmaceutical products when using autoclaves is crucial to the drug manufacturing process.  

Our platform, PlaniKast, automatically generates and optimizes sterilization plan that assigns parts to autoclave loads based on your validated patterns, available inventories, duration of each type of loads and sterile holding times.

Reduce production lead time and improve OTIF

Reduce the number of total cycles used per year

With an optimized sterilization plans, you can make the best use of your validated autoclave load patterns.

Enable fast and optimal reprioritization in case of delays

When delays or disruptions happen, PlaniKast can reprioritize and replan automatically the following loads.

Ensure compliance and quality every time

PlaniKast takes into consideration all of your production rules, constraints and validated material layouts.

Why Kaster
