Welcome to SkyPlanner; we’re glad to have you on board!
This article will give you a quick overview of the software and a practical task list to help you get hands-on in just 30 minutes.
Background #
We created SkyPlanner after seeing a clear pattern in the manufacturing industry. Most companies already had an ERP system managing production orders, but planning all process steps was hard, especially when unexpected changes occurred.
Original goal: Core functionalities same as today #
- Create software that would provide a clear visual overview of unfinished process steps along with their relevant details
- To keep the plan accurate, SkyPlanner would also integrate real-time status updates from the shop floor.
- An early request was also manual drag-and-drop scheduling, which we expanded by enabling the software to optimize and reschedule the production plan automatically.
First years: The typical flow looked like this #
- Production orders were fetched from the ERP
- Jobs were scheduled in SkyPlanner automatically
- Using the SkyPlanner timer, real-time data from the shop floor was collected and synced back to the ERP
Now: Warehouse functions and new platform #
- To help users test the software, we’ve implemented built-in functionalities for managing warehouse data, production orders, and more.
- SkyPlanner now runs on a modern platform, allowing new users to register and try the software for free.
We are proud to present our software to you; nice to have you on board, and welcome!
