SkyPlanner APS

SkyPlanner APS is an advanced planning and scheduling (APS) system for factories. It turns ERP orders, capacity and materials into a finite-capacity schedule shown on a Gantt timeline. Its AI engine, Arcturus, rebuilds the plan when orders change or machines break down, following priorities set by planners, who can accept, lock, drag or override any job and optionally enable Autopilot. Operators log progress on tablet or phone, and progress flows back to the Gantt in real time. It can run standalone from imported data or connect to ERP and MES systems through a documented REST API and webhooks in a scoped integration project. The page describes assisted onboarding, customization services, and a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. Pricing is listed from 199 EUR per month including 5 workstations, with billing in EUR. Customer-reported results are shown but vary by factory.
