Optimize every production decision
Manual scheduling can't handle the complexity of modern manufacturing. APlanner's scheduling engine uses advanced constraint-based optimization to consider all your constraints simultaneously.
Capabilities
Generate schedules in hours that would take your team days — schedules that actually work when they hit the production floor.
Constraint-based optimization
Capacity, materials, labor, equipment, setup sequences — all considered together to generate feasible, optimal schedules.
Yield-aware planning
For semiconductor manufacturers, APlanner integrates yield predictions into scheduling decisions. Plan for actual output, not just starts.
Multi-site coordination
Balance production across facilities while respecting logistics, regional constraints, and transportation times.
Priority management
Customer priorities, order urgency, margin contribution — balance multiple objectives according to your business rules.
Real-time rescheduling
When exceptions occur, regenerate schedules in minutes. Stay agile when conditions change.
Bottleneck identification
Automatically identify and resolve constraints before they become problems on the floor.
