More Stability in the Production of Industrial Trucks
Plan Line Balancing Safely with TAKTIQ
Many variants, fluctuating order volumes, and complex mixed-model production lines make it difficult to plan the production of industrial trucks reliably. At the same time, capacity utilization, dependencies, and last-minute changes must be reliably taken into account.
TAKTIQ provides transparency regarding variants, work content, and utilization. This allows changes to be evaluated early on, line balancing to be designed efficiently, and well-informed planning decisions to be made.

Challenges in Line Balancing for Industrial Trucks
In assembly planning, numerous factors must be taken into account simultaneously. Vehicle variants, work tasks, capacities, and constraints interact directly with one another and affect the entire line. Without a holistic approach, imbalances, untapped potential, and uncertain planning decisions can quickly arise.
Mastering Complexity and Variants
Different vehicle variants increase the complexity of planning. It is difficult to understand the relationships between variants, workplaces, and capacity utilization.
Identifying Imbalances in the Line
Without thorough analysis, capacity overloads often go undetected. Opportunities to smooth out production and improve utilization are not fully exploited.
Assessing Changes Accurately
Changes in the order program or product mix affect workplaces and processes. Without transparency regarding the consequences, decisions become risky.
Keeping Constraints Under Control
Constraints must be documented centrally and taken into account when changes are made. Uniform standards provide the foundation for transparent production planning.
- Work tasks, workplace roles, and their interrelationships are centrally mapped and presented in a way that is transparent to all stakeholders.
- Capacity utilization can be evaluated, imbalances can be detected, and opportunities to smooth out the curve can be specifically identified.
- New order programs, variants, or product mixes can be analyzed using simulations before they enter production.
- Constraints remain centrally documented and are taken into account immediately when adjustments are made to line balancing.
Greater transparency, stable line balancing
TAKTIQ Ensures Safety in Your Industrial Truck Production
TAKTIQ provides a centralized and transparent foundation for planning your assembly lines. Interdependencies and the effects of changes become apparent early on, allowing you to respond more quickly, reduce risks, and continuously improve your production.
Here’s how TAKTIQ supports your industrial truck production on a day-to-day basis:
Plan Faster—Make Better Decisions! Interactive and automated scheduling functions allow you to anticipate the impact of each adjustment in advance and make fine-tuning adjustments more easily. Automated workshop minutes and reports, as well as seamless multi-user planning with time-stamped plan states, also make it easier to work as a team.
Use comprehensive analysis functions and visualized key metrics to evaluate variants and production times in detail. Simulate the effects of different order programs and use flexible variant linking with any feature rules to ensure smooth production.
- Real-time calculation of expected order dates based on actual dates
- Confirmations from external systems or manual entries
- Alert support staff in a targeted and timely manner
- Calculate job schedules for each station in advance, taking into account the plant structure, shift models, break times, and disruptions
- Calculate expected drift limit exceedances based on individual drift configurations for each workplace
- Show whether sequence rules are followed or there are violations
Our Customers Agree
Maximilian Remmele Head of work preparation at Kramer-Werke„TAKTIQ is indispensable for us because it creates transparency, digitally maps our employees’ knowledge and noticeably increases capacity utilization. From our point of view, there is no better software for line balancing. “
Dr. Björn Boßman Head of Planning Assembly at Mercedes„With TAKTIQ’s interactive line balancing, we save a lot of time in line optimization. Maintaining process requirements directly in the software ensures that solutions can be implemented in practice. The flexible simulation of various line balancing scenarios and order programs with TAKTIQ saves us additional time and creates transparency for well-founded decisions. “
Thomas Felder Production Planning and Control„For us, TAKTIQ is a helpful tool for making production data understandable and actionable. Potential opportunities and anomalies become apparent more quickly, allowing us to take more targeted action. This supports the continuous improvement of our processes. “
Mike Appenmaier Head of Process Planning at Dethleffs„TAKTIQ helps us to visualize tasks and processes. We recognize where waste occurs, can specifically evaluate special orders and continuously improve our production times. This creates transparency and makes fluctuations manageable. “
Raimund Schwierz Product Owner PP & WFM at CLAAS„Considering the complexity of the software, it is surprisingly easy to use. Overall, it is very intuitive and, in my opinion, the best solution on the market. I particularly appreciate the fast support – there is always a quick solution to any queries. “
Dominik Hammerl Global Lead Manufacturing Innovation at AGCO„TAKTIQ makes our assembly and order planning more transparent, intuitive and faster. With constant changes to cycle times, product mix and assembly rates, TAKTIQ allows us to maintain an overview and avoid bottlenecks in the assembly line despite high capacity utilization. Finally, we always have a sympathetic ear when it comes to implementing new software requirements and ideas. “
Dawid Weremiuk Vehicle Production Planner at Porsche„TAKTIQ brings structure, transparency and speed to our planning – with the same precision that we at Porsche expect on the road.“
