What SkyPlanner APS is
Advanced planning and scheduling software for manufacturers. It builds production plans against what capacity actually exists, rather than assuming infinite machines, and connects to the ERP so plans and orders stay aligned.
It is aimed at shop floors where sequencing decides whether orders ship on time.
What you can do with it
- Schedule production against real capacity
- Optimise sequencing and resource use
- Replan when demand or availability changes
- Connect planning to your ERP
- Reduce manual scheduling effort
- See the consequences of a change before making it
Who it is for
- Manufacturers with complex production
- Operations and planning teams
- Businesses outgrowing spreadsheets
- Plants integrated with an ERP
What to watch out for
- Scheduling is only as good as the data behind it: routings, times and stock must be accurate
- ERP integration is the hard part of the project, not the optimisation
- Important business conclusions need manual review before they reach the shop floor
- Confirm your ERP and data model are supported before committing
