Custom AI production planning system built by True Impact Ai

What the AI did

Takes incoming orders, current capacity and constraints and generates the production schedule overnight, updating it through the day. The operations team used to spend each morning doing this by hand.

The result

Planning time: From 8 hrs/day to under 2 hrs/day. Total annual impact: £30,000–£37,500.

Check before trusting

About a third of the £ figure is estimated upside from better scheduling, not hours saved.

Prompt to try it

Test the job on your own material before buying anything. Replace the highlighted brackets.

I plan production at a [SIZE] factory making [PRODUCTS]. Here are today's open orders with due dates: [PASTE ORDERS]. Here are our machines and their daily capacity: [PASTE CAPACITY]. Changeovers between [PRODUCT TYPES] take [TIME]. Draft a schedule for today and tomorrow that hits due dates and keeps changeovers low. List any order that can't be met and why.

Spacegoods

Wellness brand (D2C and retail)

Someone pastes a screenshot of an inbound shipment into Slack. Claude reads it, matches each item to live inventory IDs, builds the warehouse receiving order, checks the read-back and posts the box labels back. B2B orders are held for a person to review.

Result Across 25 WROs a month, that adds up to roughly 6 hours saved every month. That's 75 hours a year. And because nobody is retyping anything by hand, the error rate on our AI-created WROs is effectively zero.
