Opcenter APS Connector: Seamless Integration with EVOAPS

The EvoAPS Connector for Opcenter APS has been designed for simplicity, speed, and minimal configuration—enabling rapid deployment across new or existing APS environments.

Quick Installation and Configuration

The installation process is straightforward. Once the connector is installed, users are prompted to select the appropriate configuration by choosing the relevant prcdf file. This file contains all the necessary information required by the connector to operate within the specific APS setup.

As part of the installation, two enhancements are added to the configuration:

·         A menu option within the sequencer window that allows users to launch the EvoAPS connector directly.

·         A monitoring component that detects changes in the APS model, ensuring data synchronization is seamless and automatic.

No Manual Mapping Required

EvoAPS leverages Opcenter’s existing classification system, removing the need for manual data mapping. It automatically aligns with the fields required to initiate and run the scheduling process, making setup faster and less error-prone.

Smart Facility Management

On first use, users log in to EvoAPS and selects the appropriate organisation and facility, as provided by the system administrator. This allows for multi-facility support under a single account, with authorized users able to access and compare multiple models—all from the same browser interface.

Data Sync and Execution

To begin the evolutionary scheduling process, users simply push data from Opcenter APS to EvoAPS using the connector. All relevant data—including calendars, constraints, materials, operations, relationships, and BoM (Bill of Materials) —is automatically gathered and transferred. This includes sequence dependant changeover if available in the configuration.

This ensures that EvoAPS always works with the latest version of the model, with no need for redundant configuration or mapping effort. All data is transferred securely and encrypted to AWS, where the evolutionary engine performs its processing.

Ready in Minutes

Whether integrating into a new deployment or enhancing an existing Opcenter APS instance, the EvoAPS connector can be installed and operational within minutes, enabling users to quickly benefit from advanced, strategy-driven scheduling.
