Planner is an app for planning production at Heidelberg Materials cement plants. It allows users to mitigate high costs due to energy market volatility by shifting to more cost-effective production times and when the share of renewable energy is higher. Using real-time data from energy prices, material stock and machine availability, users can make better planning decisions. Planner also seamlessly supports the plan execution and provides operational transparency to all stakeholders.

UXDA Jury members Lisa Gerkens & Nancy Birkhölzer:

»The Planner application successfully optimizes a complex production process by combining internal operations and external data sources. The development was based on consistent user research with the goal of making cement production more cost-effective, efficient and sustainable. The jury appreciates the clear problem definition and the clear explanation of the business case and USP. The design is straightforward and fulfills its purpose. The inclusion of real-time data and predicted energy levels can have a remarkable effect on solving a complex and relevant problem.«
