Packaging Manufacturing Software
Finite capacity scheduling for packaging converters: print, laminate, die-cut, and finish. Sequence press makeready, respect die plate constraints, and deliver on time across folding carton, corrugated, and flexible packaging lines.
Packaging Manufacturing Scheduling Challenges
Packaging is high-mix, high-velocity manufacturing with brutal customer due-date pressure. Multi-stage routings cross printing, laminating, die-cutting, and finishing. Press makeready dominates throughput. Die plates and mounted plates are scarce shared resources. Most ERP scheduling modules cannot handle this complexity.
- Multi-stage routings (print → laminate → die-cut → finish → pack)
- Press makeready and ink/substrate change setup time
- Die plates and mounted plates as scarce shared resources
- Multi-process production (folding carton, corrugated, flexible)
- CPG customers demand tight delivery windows and ATP responses
- Daily customer expedites force constant rescheduling
How RMDB Serves Packaging Manufacturers
RMDB schedules every stage of packaging production as a first-class operation. It honors press makeready, die plate availability, ink-change sequencing, and multi-stage routings in a single Gantt that planners can rely on.
- Finite capacity scheduling across multi-stage routings
- Press makeready and ink-change setup time modeling
- Die plate and mounted plate as constraint resources
- Multi-process scheduling (carton, corrugated, flexible)
- Drag-and-drop Gantt for daily reschedules
- Integrates with Kiwiplan, Amtech, EFI, and general ERPs
- Realistic CPG delivery dates based on real capacity
- One-time license — no per-user monthly subscription fees
