AI MODULE
Sorting — bundle jobs by material, region, and printer.
AI Sorting answers the question: 'How do I bundle several jobs for production?' Jobs with the same film go through the plotter together, jobs in the same region get installed on the same day, jobs with the same print parameters run in one batch. Unlike AI Prioritization (what comes first in time), this is about spatial and material bundling for setup-time and route savings.
Secure your spot now- ✗Same red vinyl plotted 3 times — 3 setups
- ✗Installers drive back and forth aimlessly
- ✗Materials cut one job at a time
- ✗Same region, three separate trips
- ✗Production time wasted on redundancy
- ✓Same vinyl grouped — one setup only
- ✓Routes bundled automatically
- ✓Materials grouped optimally
- ✓One trip instead of three per region
- ✓Up to 30% less production time
THE PROBLEM
Chaotic production planning
You print blue, then red, then blue again. Each change costs 15 minutes.
Manual sorting is time-consuming
THE SOLUTION
AI-optimized sorting
The AI groups by material, color and machine type
The system shows possible bundles and their expected savings. You decide what to adopt.
- Material grouping
- Color optimization
- Machine planning
- Deadline consideration
- Setup minimization
How it works
Capture jobs
The system checks all upcoming jobs by material, location, deadline, and machine type.
Optimize
AI calculates efficient sequence
Group
The system calculates the expected savings from the grouping.
Produce
Optimized sequence
Without intelligent sorting, unnecessary setup times occur. PlotonIQ's AI Sorting groups orders automatically.
