Our starting point: competitive labor productivity. Our focus: the interface between skilled workers and work. Whether we are planning staffing or assigning tasks to skilled workers. Or asking in the forecast about the future fit between skills and tasks.
From bottleneck to advantage. We do not accept that valuable human potential is wasted by rigid planning processes. Intelligent management of skilled workers is the greatest untapped lever for productivity. And that applies on the shop floor and in real time.

“With the construction of our new plant in Cottbus, we were faced with the challenge of making our personnel planning future-proof right from the start.
We know that manually managing our employee assignments in the complex environment of a plant of this size will not be efficient. In order to be able to react quickly to unforeseen disruptionsâbe it additional maintenance work or employee absencesâwe need a solution that provides us with automation and an overview.
We are convinced that planitbox for automated personnel management is the solution for us to ensure work productivity.
We also expect it to minimize manual scheduling.The system will enable us to manage personnel assignments precisely for each shift and workstation by automatically comparing qualifications and attendance.
We see the application as our future âdigital group leaderâ. We are confident that it will enable us to massively increase our response speed in the event of disruptions and optimize our manufacturing processes right from the start. This solution gives us the certainty that we are ideally positioned to meet the requirements of modern production.”

The challenge of manufacturing complexity and capacity
Due to its size and complexity, Deutsche Bahn’s new plant at FZI Cottbus places high demands on personnel planning. Manual control of employee assignments is time-consuming and too inflexible to respond quickly to unforeseen disruptions such as staff or machine downtime. There is a lack of a digital solution to manage staff assignments for specific tasks, shifts, and workplaces and to quickly assign the right employees with the necessary qualifications to the appropriate workplaces.
planitbox as a productivity driver
The solution is an application for automated personnel management based on employee qualifications and attendance. It enables precise matching between personnel and workstations and eliminates manual scheduling. The system increases the response speed in the event of disruptions and optimizes personnel deployment directly at the shop floor level â in the sense of a âdigital group leader.â

Bosch Thermotechnik required agile workforce planning for the shop floor. Static, manual planning was too slow to respond to disruptions such as machine or personnel failures. This led to delays at the start of shifts.
The solution: an application from planitbox.ai. The system records employee skills and uses automation to create real-time resource planning. A visual factory layout editor enables intuitive assignment. In the event of disruptions, a new, optimized plan can be created in seconds.

In the complex structure of Deutsche Bahn, it is a major challenge for employees to keep track of internal development and promotion opportunities. At the same time, managers find it difficult to find the right internal talent for open positions. This lack of transparency leads to frustration and the risk of losing valuable skilled workers.
