Optessa

Optessa offers specialized software for planning, sequencing, and scheduling in manufacturing, utilizing unique algorithms that adapt to various challenges without requiring additional programming.

The software employs AI to optimize operations in real time, effectively managing complex tasks in sequencing and production lines to improve efficiency and output.

Optessa is available in three versions:

• Optessa MLP
• Optessa MLS
• Optessa RTS A key feature of Optessa is its extensive library of constraints, enabling users to simulate diverse manufacturing scenarios without extra coding.

In February of 2024 Eyelit Technologies acquired Optessa to expand their software offerings into the advanced planning and scheduling space. Eyelit currently offers MOM, MES, and QMS software, including MESTEC by Eyelit and Eyelit MES.
