Medical device manufacturing production scheduling software

Choose software that plans each lot through to sterilization, including outside providers, steriliser cycles and release waits, that starts cleanroom assembly only when components are there, and that treats inspection as a step with its own capacity. SkyPlanner APS does all of this on a finite-capacity schedule that the Arcturus AI engine rebuilds in seconds. Pricing is published, from 199 € / month with 5 workstations included, there is a 30-day free trial with no credit card, and the open REST API integrates with any ERP or MES.

SkyPlanner APS is an advanced planning and scheduling system that builds one finite-capacity schedule for every lot, from machining or molding through cleanroom assembly, inspection, packaging and sterilization. Each CNC machine, molding press, cleanroom station and inspection bench has its own shift calendar, and calibration, cleaning and planned maintenance are entered as exceptions. The Arcturus AI engine then optimises the lot sequence across all of them.

Yes. An outside sterilization provider is set up as a subcontractor workstation, so the trip to the steriliser is part of the route and visible on the Gantt. Fixed-duration steps model steriliser cycles, teardown times model release waits, and the next step starts only after them. Similar steps from several orders are combined into one batch, so lots sharing a sterilization load are planned as one job.

Sales orders, forecasts, products, routings, components, stock and customer due dates flow in from ERPs such as SAP or Microsoft Dynamics 365, and planned start and end times, material need dates, progress, quantities and delivery dates flow back. SkyPlanner connects to any ERP or MES, including in-house systems, through its open REST API. Skycode builds the integration for you, or your own developers use the public API documentation.

Device master data, inventory, purchasing and lot traceability stay in your ERP, which remains the system of record. SkyPlanner takes over the detailed sequencing of lots across machines, cleanroom stations, inspection and external sterilization. Planned times and material need dates go back to the ERP, so purchasing orders components for the day the cleanroom needs them.

Today. Start the 30-day free trial with up to 20 workstations and no credit card, then load demo data or enter your own machines, cleanroom stations, routings and external sterilization steps by CSV import or manually. The first schedule runs without any integration, and assisted onboarding workshops configure SkyPlanner to your inspection steps and outside providers before the ERP connection goes live.

Yes. Medical device manufacturers of every size use SkyPlanner, from a plant with one cleanroom to groups that schedule several plants together with transfer times between sites. Pricing starts at 199 € per month with 5 workstations included, and each additional workstation is 20 € per month. Operators in multi-country groups work in their own language, with the interface available in 29 languages.

Machined parts, molded housings and purchased components sit in multi-level bills of materials, and with material-based scheduling on, an assembly lot starts only when all of its components will be there. Due dates for individual process steps keep parts on time for the cleanroom, and material need dates flow back to your ERP. When a component shipment is late, the Arcturus AI engine replans in seconds and moves that lot, not the whole cleanroom.
