Prodasos' flagship product is DeepPRO. By creating a digital twin of the production hall, this product provides a real-time overview of the production processes. The software uses algorithms based on statistics and AI methods to detect anomalies and identify optimal operating conditions, leading to a reduction in downtime and waste.

By integrating DeepPRO into the Abas ERP system, for example, customers should be able to maximize their productivity in the future thanks to complete transparency and real-time analyses. The benefits of this integration range from improved resource efficiency and delivery reliability, a faster optimization start to higher quality and error reduction. In addition, Prodaso's intelligent production planning automates the optimization of production schedules based on real-time information, which should enable fast and continuous adjustment.
