Production scheduling built around your plant
Manufacturers in every industry use SkyPlanner APS. Each page shows how it handles the machines, materials, changeovers and delivery dates of that industry.
Food and process
Sequence allergens and changeovers, plan lines to real capacity and promise reliable delivery dates.
Plan bulk to filling, shade and fragrance changeovers, components and SKUs.
Metal and machinery
Plan furnaces, dies and alloys for foundries, forges and stamping plants.
Electronics and devices
Plan SMT setups, component availability, test and box build to real capacity.
Plan machining, molding, cleanroom assembly, inspection and sterilization to real capacity.
Materials and consumer goods
Sequence presses by colour, format and substrate, and plan dies and plates to capacity.
One APS for every industry
Your plant’s own rules, the same powerful scheduler
SkyPlanner models each plant through its own data: workstations, routings, bills of materials, shift calendars and changeover rules. A brewery and a machine shop get a schedule shaped by their own constraints.
Finite-capacity scheduling
Every order is planned on the workstations that can run it, within real shift calendars and capacity, so the plan is one your shop floor can follow.
Replanned in seconds
When a rush order lands or a machine goes down, the Arcturus AI engine rebuilds the schedule in seconds and shows the new delivery dates.
Works with your ERP or MES
SkyPlanner integrates with any ERP or MES, including in-house systems, through its open REST API. It also runs standalone, so you can start scheduling before an integration is in place.
Integrates with any ERP or MES
Your ERP keeps the orders. SkyPlanner decides what runs where and when.
SkyPlanner connects to all ERP and MES systems through its open REST API, including in-house systems. Orders, products and routings flow in, planned times and material need dates flow back. It also runs standalone, so you can start scheduling before an integration is in place.
