Plan against
real capacity.
Close the gap between the plan and what actually happens on the floor. Patok connects your demand to plant physics — not to historical averages or wishful thinking.
Planning with theoretical data always fails
90% of plants promise dates based on what it "should" take, not on what it actually takes.
Dates based on wishes
You promise the date the customer wants to hear, not the one your plant can meet. The result: overtime, delays, and frustrated customers.
A plan disconnected from the floor
The plan lives in a spreadsheet or ERP nobody updates. By the time someone looks at it, the reality on the floor has changed completely.
Material shortages
You find out material is missing when the operator is already at the machine. You stop the line, reschedule, and lose hours.
Patok connects demand to capacity
Work orders, materials, and real plant capacity — in one system that updates live.
A sales Kanban connected to the floor
Every order becomes a visual flow that advances automatically with each operator scan. See what is being produced, what is waiting, and what has shipped — in real time.
- Automatic percentage progress per finished part
- Delay alerts with no manual intervention
- Visual prioritization of urgent work orders
See your real capacity, not the theoretical one
The Digital Twin shows you the real utilization of each machine, accumulated WIP, and active bottlenecks. Plan on today's data, not on data from a month ago.
- Real vs. available utilization by workstation
- Bottleneck Score to identify constraints
- Factory Physics: Little’s Law and live queue pressure
Material Bay connected to the BOM
Every work order knows the materials it requires. The Material Bay knows what is available. Patok cross-checks both to calculate coverage and anticipate shortages.
- A visual BOM with coverage levels
- Smart lot matching by attributes
- Shortage alerts before they stop the line
Traditional planning vs Patok
| Criteria | Traditional | Patok |
|---|---|---|
| Planning basis | Historical averages | Real capacity, in real time |
| Work order visibility | Static spreadsheet table | Live Kanban with automatic progress |
| Material control | Manual list, shortages found late | Automatic BOM coverage |
| Bottleneck detection | Once you are already late | Bottleneck Score in real time |
| Delivery dates | Optimistic estimates | Based on Factory Physics |
| Replanning | Weekly meeting | Continuous, automatic |
Promise dates you
can actually meet.
Patok connects your work orders to your plant's real capacity. Plan with physics, not with wishes.
