Manufacturers around the world plan production with SkyPlanner
Your whole factory, scheduled in seconds
Everything you need to plan production against real capacity — in one system.
See every job on one finite-capacity timeline
Every workstation and order on one Gantt. Late jobs and dependencies are flagged before a delivery is late.
Production scheduling
Reschedule the whole plan in seconds
An order changes or a machine breaks down — Arcturus AI rebuilds the schedule in seconds, following the priorities your planners have set.
Arcturus AI
Schedule against real capacity and materials
Workstation limits, material availability, skills and setup times — see the next bottleneck before it happens.
Capacity & materials
Plan shifts, people and skills
Model shifts and calendars, cover absences and overtime without breaking the rest of the plan.
Shift planning
See real progress from the floor
Operators log time on tablet or phone; progress flows back to the Gantt in real time.
Real-time time loggingReal problems, solved on real factory floors
The everyday planning problems manufacturers face — and the results they report with SkyPlanner.
99.2% delivery reliability
The old way: Bottlenecks are found only after orders are already late.
See bottlenecks before they stop production
“SkyPlanner has brought visibility to our bottlenecks and clarified production management. Spotting problems early has significantly improved our delivery reliability.”
Accurate dates in daily use
The old way: Promising delivery dates is guesswork.
Promise delivery dates with confidence
“The real value is that it’s a tool that works in daily use — especially for setting delivery dates. There, it works well.”
Capacity visible 6 months ahead
The old way: Capacity planning is guesswork without a forward view.
Plan with facts, not guesswork
“SkyPlanner creates the foundation and reliability for all production planning. You can trust the system to bring the data and the facts, so you don’t have to work it all out yourself.”
90% higher production efficiency
The old way: Without a clear schedule, production time is wasted.
A clear schedule, more efficient production
“Efficiency has gone up 90% in production. Getting goods to customers on time and reporting on time has gone up 50%.”
Customer-reported results.

Start planning right away from imported data, or connect SkyPlanner to the systems you already run through a documented REST API and webhooks in a scoped integration project.
Logos show systems we’ve connected in real integration projects. If yours isn’t here, it can usually be connected too — scope is agreed per project.
Implementation built around your factory
You are never alone with the rollout. A named SkyPlanner expert guides every step, from first import to daily use.
A named onboarding expert
Your SkyPlanner expert guides the rollout through live calls and hands-on sessions. One person who knows your factory, not a ticket queue.
Onboarding expert
Your production model, mapped together
Together we model workstations, shifts, materials and priorities, and import your orders, so the schedule matches how your factory really runs.
Integrations set up as a project
If you run an ERP or MES, the integration is scoped and built as a defined project through a documented REST API. Standalone use needs no integration at all.
Training until the team runs it alone
Planners and operators get hands-on training, and you go live with an expert watching the first scheduling rounds.
We call him Arcturus
Arcturus reads your live production data and rebuilds a finite-capacity schedule in seconds. An order shifts, a machine goes down, a rush job lands — it recalculates the whole plan in seconds, exactly the way your team has told it to plan.
- Our own scheduling engine, built in-house. Not a wrapper around a third-party AI.
- Purpose-built for finite-capacity scheduling: it optimizes your plan against the priorities you set. It is not a chatbot.
- In production daily at manufacturers around the world.
Scheduling in seconds
Arcturus rebuilds the whole finite-capacity plan the moment something changes, even in large, complex productions. No overnight batch, no manual rework.
Planners stay in control
Arcturus proposes; your team decides. Accept, lock, drag or override any job. And when you are ready, switch on Autopilot and let Arcturus keep the schedule updated on its own.

Frequently asked questions
SkyPlanner APS is AI-powered production scheduling software for manufacturers — manufacturing scheduling against finite capacity. It builds the schedule from your orders, workstations, materials and shifts, and its AI engine Arcturus rebuilds the plan in seconds when something changes.
No. SkyPlanner works standalone from imported data, so you can start planning without any integration. If you run an ERP or MES, SkyPlanner can be connected to it in a scoped integration project.
SkyPlanner has been connected to systems like SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Odoo, Epicor, Sage and Siemens through a documented REST API and webhooks. If your system is not on the list, it can usually be connected too.
Arcturus reads your live production data and proposes a complete finite-capacity schedule. Your planners always keep the final say: they can accept, lock, drag or override any job.
You can start a 30-day free trial with your own data, with no credit card. Assisted onboarding is available: a named SkyPlanner expert helps you map your production model, import data and train the team.
SkyPlanner is used across discrete and process manufacturing, for example in metal, electronics, plastics, food and pharmaceutical production, by manufacturers who schedule work across multiple workstations against real capacity.
