Copilot Assisted Scheduling by PrintVis

Overview

The video is a short demonstration of the PrintVis Copilot assisted scheduling functionality. It walks through selecting machines and a date range, setting optimization options, and generating an optimized schedule.

The optimization options reflect reasons why different print shops place certain jobs on one machine rather than another, for example avoiding paper changes on a machine. Clicking optimize sends the information to Copilot, which produces a schedule across the three machines selected in the demo. The result is then loaded into the planning board.

Key points

• Copilot Assisted Scheduling is a PrintVis feature that optimizes job scheduling across multiple machines.
• It is started from the Copilot icon on the PrintVis planning board.
• The user selects a group of machines and a start and end date for scheduling.
• Optimization options capture why print shops place certain jobs on one machine rather than another. The demo uses paper item number and avoid paper changes.
• Clicking optimize sends the selections to Copilot, which generates an optimized schedule across the selected machines (three in the demo).
• Clicking ‘load simulation’ loads the planning board with the optimized schedule.
