Asprova APS vs Core Scheduler

Asprova APS creates production schedules for factories and manufacturers, integrating sales, manufacturing, inventory, and purchasing plans across multiple items and processes. Its synchronized planning and capacity tools use standard times down to the second and can account for individual machines, molds, and personnel. Planners can create multiple scenarios, adjust parts of an existing plan manually, and reschedule. Charts and graphs show line overloads, delivery delays, and load differences by day, week, or month. Asprova connects to relational database tables and CSV files; users can configure mappings and differential imports and exports. The maker says it can integrate with most ERP, production management, MES, shop floor control, and legacy systems. Optional modules include Sales, Purchasing, KPI, Time Constraint MAX, Resource Lock, Event, and Optimization. The product is paid, with pricing on request; implementation, training, consultation, and integration may add costs. A trial edition can be used with e-learning exercises, but no trial duration is stated. It is self-hosted Windows software. The maker says a maintenance contract is required to upgrade Asprova.
