SkyPlanner APS

SkyPlanner APS is production scheduling software that builds a finite-capacity schedule from orders, workstation capacity, materials and shifts. Its AI engine, called Arcturus, recalculates the schedule when orders change, machines break down or materials are delayed. Modules include a Gantt timeline, shop-floor time logging via phone or tablet, a visual product and routing editor, capacity and materials management, dashboards and reports, and sales prospect scheduling for delivery-date quoting.

The vendor's site describes use across discrete and process manufacturing, including metal, electronics, printing, plastics, pharmaceuticals, clothing, food, chemicals, wood, construction and automotive. It can run standalone from imported or manually entered orders, or be connected to an ERP or MES system such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Odoo, Epicor, Sage or Siemens through a documented REST API and webhooks, set up as a scoped integration project. It is a cloud-based SaaS product that runs in a browser, with a mobile-friendly shop-floor logging view.

Pricing is based on the number of workstations scheduled rather than user seats: the pricing page lists a base of 199 euros per month including 5 workstations, plus 20 euros per month per additional workstation, up to 250 workstations via the online calculator. Larger setups, security reviews, custom workflows and dedicated support are priced separately and require contacting sales. The site does not state exact costs for integration projects, assisted onboarding, or connections to ERP systems beyond the named examples, leaving those figures unclear.
