SkyPlanner APS

What is SkyPlanner APS?

SkyPlanner APS is an automated software for production scheduling, planning, and finite capacity scheduling. It leverages built-in artificial intelligence (AI), named Arcturus, to optimize factory production in seconds. The software aims to replace manual production planning and spreadsheets by connecting production data from ERP or MES systems with priorities set by planners, reacting to continuous changes in production to maintain optimal levels.

How to use SkyPlanner APS?

Users integrate SkyPlanner APS with their existing ERP or MES systems. They define goals and priorities through a modern user interface. The built-in Arcturus AI then automatically calculates and optimizes production plans in real-time, reacting to changes. Users can visually track production on a Gantt timeline, manage shifts, handle multi-facility production chains, and log time for tasks.
