M IS FOR MANUFACTURING


Find out why manufacturing needs software

What comes to mind when you hear the word "universe"? Infinite expanses? At INFORM, we think of manufacturing logistics.


The universe represents an almost unimaginable number of possibilities. Production planning operates on the same scale. In manufacturing logistics, sometimes there are more possible production sequences than there are atoms in the universe. For us, this is precisely the kind of challenge that motivates us.

Why is production planning so complex?

Consider an everyday object, such as a high-quality kitchen knife. It goes through around 50 production steps before it is finished. Ensuring these steps occur in the correct order is an art form. The process becomes even more complex in plant engineering, where machines are created from thousands of components in tens of thousands of work steps.

The central question is always: Which production steps will be processed in which order on which machines? Of the seemingly endless possibilities, only one achieves the essential goals of high adherence to delivery dates, short throughput times, and low costs. This level of complexity is nearly impossible for humans to grasp alone.

This is precisely the area in which our AI-based software excels. It brings structure to the multitude of possibilities and resolves complexity systematically. Rather than making individual decisions in isolation, it considers the entire production network, including all dependencies, capacities, and restrictions. The result is production plans that are theoretically optimal and work in real-world operations.

Do you manufacture your own products? Take the self-test to find out.

  • Can you identify orders that are at risk in seconds?
  • Does rescheduling require a lot of manual work?
  • Do your meetings focus more on delays than on-time deliveries?

If you answered "yes" to all three questions, AI-supported production planning is the next logical step. We look forward to your call! The INFORM universe is waiting for you!

Manu­facturing is precisely the area in which our AI-based software excels.

Machine Learning

Knowledge is essential for process optimization and is embedded in today’s vast data volumes. To tap into this potential, we continuously enhance our systems with cutting-edge AI technologies like machine learning. These technologies provide a precise basis for decision-making, such as predicting maintenance needs through sensor data. The results create a solid foundation for our optimization algorithms, making our software's calculated outcomes even more accurate.


M IS ALSO FOR MISSION

We enable companies to achieve better operational decisions as a trusted partner by combining deep industry knowledge with decades of AI expertise.

We develop software systems that help companies optimize their business processes despite time constraints and high complexity. The result is greater cost-effectiveness, improved productivity, and strong resilience against unforeseen disruptions.

To achieve this, we make AI a natural part of everyday operations, easy to use, self-explanatory, and embedded directly into real processes. Our systems analyze and learn from operational data, guide users through decisions, and ensure their effective implementation.

What sets us apart is how we turn knowledge into action. We don’t just understand industries, we translate that understanding into systems that work under real-world conditions, especially where large volumes and complex interactions matter. Decades of experience across supply chains, production, finance, and aviation are built directly into our solutions.

At the same time, we believe in AI that is used for good: transparent, explainable, and based on reliable data protection. This ensures that decisions are not only better, but also trusted, actionable, and ready for the real world.
