In their own words
SkyPlanner APS
SkyPlanner APS turns manufacturing orders, available materials, capacity and priorities into a finite-capacity production schedule. Its Arcturus AI engine calculates schedules in seconds and can revise them when production changes; planners retain control to set priorities and approve or override a plan. Scheduling tools include workstation calendars and shifts, routings, process dependencies, dynamic priorities and Gantt timelines. The core subscription also includes material-driven scheduling, material availability tracking and warehouse balances. Shop-floor teams can record work and follow progress through completion. SkyPlanner can be used on its own with manually entered or CSV-imported orders, or exchange data with ERP, MES and other systems through REST API access and supported webhooks. The cloud-based service runs in a browser and is available on desktop, tablet and phone. It supports Android, iOS, web and API access. A 30-day trial requires no credit card and allows up to 20 workstations.
