What it is

PlanetTogether APS helps manufacturers create production schedules that account for capacity, materials, labor, routings, changeovers, due dates, inventory, and ERP/MES data. Its capabilities include capacity and inventory planning, bottleneck management, material availability planning, schedule optimization, analytics, and what-if scenarios. The software can optimize schedules using more than 50 sequencing methods, with KPIs such as profitability, throughput, or customer priority. It supports batch, discrete, process, and multi-site manufacturers across industries including food and beverage, life sciences, chemicals, aerospace and defense, machinery, metal fabrication, mobility, high-tech, and packaging. Integrations can use APIs, databases, flat files, middleware, Azure Data Factory, or customer-owned iPaaS tools; supported systems include SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, NetSuite, and others. The server can run in the cloud or on-premise, alongside a local scheduling client. Version 12 adds web reporting with embedded Power BI and a view-only web Gantt chart for published schedules. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is available.
