Plan production that can actually happen.
AI-enhanced planning & scheduling (AEPS) for high-mix, low-volume manufacturers — finite-capacity scheduling, visual management, QR-code job tracking and capability-to-promise, at a price SMI can justify.
AI-APS Shop floor · gantt plan · live
A real production system, priced for SMI.
APS replaces hand-made Excel planning with a web-based scheduler that connects the sales promise, the plan and the shop floor — without Tier-1 ERP prices or a licence for every user.
Mobile-enabled salesperson CTP
Salespeople check the delivery promise against real capacity — capability to promise — from a phone, before the customer order is confirmed.
Latest web & cloud
Latest web and cloud technology with a centralized master-production database — tablet and mobile sized, affordable and scalable as you grow.
Integrated production tracking
Mobile tracking plus a route card / job traveller — scan at every operation, and WIP, load and rework feed straight back into the schedule.
High-speed scheduling tools
AI-APS replans in seconds with automatic resource selection, load balancing and optimization rules — compare Plan A vs Plan B before you commit.
B2B data flow to subcontractors
Cross-company data flows between factories and subcontractors — schedule, load and delivery stay in sync across the supply chain.
Reporting & dashboards
KPI dashboards for top management, rework & defect views, and exportable route cards and work-to-do lists — organized production documentation.
Visualize your future path.
See production history, the present and the future schedule on one screen — no more kicking the ball around, no more end-of-week surprises.
Gantt chart plan
Production plan visualized on a Gantt — what runs on which machine, in what sequence, and when each order finishes.
Dynamic routing traceability
Track job status and order status even as routing changes on the fly — every job visible from release to done.
Machine utilization tracking
Real-time utilization per machine with task-detail tooltips — spot idle work centres and overloaded bottlenecks at a glance.
Multi-plan scenarios
Build several plans side by side, compare scenario vs scenario, and pick the schedule that holds up.
Inventory visualization
See material supply, consumption and stock levels against the plan — shortages appear before they stop the line.
Reporting for top management
Organized production documentation and reporting services — KPI dashboards, rework & defect views and exportable Excel reports like route cards and work-to-do lists.
High-speed scheduling with AI.
AEPS — AI Enhance Production Scheduler — runs high-speed scheduling with automatic resource selection, load balancing and optimization rules that attack the real enemies: WIP and lead time.
- Automatic resource selection and load balancing across machines and operators
- Optimization rules that reduce WIP and lead time without stretching dates
- Bottleneck analysis — find the pinch point and raise its utilization
- Generic backward and forward scheduling with user-defined sorting criteria
- AI-enabled production optimization and preventive-maintenance prediction on the roadmap
Built around the production floor.
APS was designed for high-mix, low-volume production environments — many small jobs, shared machines, tight promises.
Finite-capacity scheduling
Schedules are built around real machine and operator capacity — not an optimistic assumption of infinity.
QR-code job tracking
Each job traveller carries a QR code. Operators scan at every operation, so WIP and live load stay in sync without paperwork.
High-mix, low-volume logic
Sequencing and setup thinking built for many small jobs, not endless long runs.
Realistic due dates
See which promise dates the schedule can't meet — before you promise them to the customer.
Load & capacity view
Utilisation per work centre, by week and by hour — spot the bottleneck before it becomes a backlog.
Exception alerts
Late starts, overloads and material gaps are flagged as they happen — so issues surface early, not after dispatch.
From orders to traceable production in three steps.
Connect your orders
Pull production orders from your ERP or MRP, or enter make-to-order jobs directly. APS works alongside the systems you already run.
Schedule by real capacity
The planner sequences jobs across machines and operators with finite capacity, and flags any promise date the schedule can't hold.
Track every job with QR
Print the job traveller, scan at each operation. Live WIP, load and rework data feed straight back into the schedule.
Built for high-mix, low-volume manufacturing.
High-mix low-volume job shops, die & mold, precision engineering — with multi-step routing, BOM material checks and subcontractor flows.
Job-shop & OEM
Precision machining, fabrication and contract manufacturers juggling dozens of active jobs across shared machines.
SMI / SME with production
Plants that outgrew Excel but can't justify Tier-1 pricing — APS is positioned as the affordable SMI production planner.
Multiple plants & subcontractors
Factories that need synchronized production plans, strict supplier chains, and data flowing to and from subcontractors.
Material check runs before the promise — a shortage on any component shifts the delivery date instantly.
Promise dates the factory can keep.
Salespeople and customers check delivery against real capacity before the order is confirmed — on cloud, from a phone.
- Pick the product, order quantity and priority
- APS simulates final delivery against production capacity and raw-material availability
- Commit a promise date the plan can actually hold
02 · CUSTOMER SELF-ORDERINGPortalCustomers log in with a given ID, select products and quantities, confirm — and track production, PO, DO and invoice through the customer portal.
AI is just the start of the schedule.
Preventive maintenance
AI for preventive maintenance and production buffers — predict the failure before it breaks the schedule.
Open subcontractor marketplace
Cross-company B2B data flow to subcontractors — and, further out, engineering-to-order in a marketplace.
Smarter forecasts
More accurate predictive analysis for demand forecasting, with lower-cost hosting and no-code iCASE deployment.
Built to plug into the floor you already run.
APS doesn't replace your ERP — it works alongside it. Orders flow in, schedule data flows out, and the plan never drifts from the shop floor.
ERP & MRP connectors
Production orders are pulled straight from your existing ERP or MRP — one source of truth, no re-keying, no parallel spreadsheets.
Open API & BI
Open API lets customers integrate schedule, load and delivery data into their own financial or production systems — plus web API and JavaScript for customization.
Cloud & centralized
Web and cloud technology with a centralized master-production database — tablet and mobile sized, affordable and scalable for growing plants.
