Plataine

Plataine is an industrial AI company founded in 1997 in Petah Tikva, Israel, and now also operates offices in the United States and United Kingdom. It develops optimization software for discrete manufacturers, originally focused on composite-material producers in aerospace who needed to track perishable materials and cut scheduling waste.

The suite includes a production scheduler, a time-sensitive material manager, a tool manager and cutting/kitting optimizers that use AI agents to recommend real-time decisions on the shop floor. Customers include Airbus-Hafei, Kineco Kaman, Alestis, ENERCON and MRAS Composite Technology; Plataine reports throughput gains of up to 20 percent and rework reductions of up to 40 percent for its manufacturing clients.

1. Production scheduling: an AI-based scheduler sequences jobs around material and machine constraints.

2. Material tracking: the time-sensitive material manager monitors shelf life of composites and adhesives.

3. Tool management: the platform tracks tool location, usage and calibration status.

4. Cut and kit optimization: nesting algorithms reduce scrap when cutting fabric, foam or honeycomb.

5. Asset visibility: RFID and sensor data give real-time location tracking of materials and assets.

6. AI agents: recommendations are delivered directly to planners and shop-floor operators.
