User Solutions EDGEBIC/RMDB

EDGEBIC is a production planning and scheduling application from User Solutions. Its core is a finite capacity scheduling engine with a graphical drag-and-drop routing designer, a job-level Gantt chart, a planning board for moving operations across machines and hours, a resource calendar for utilization and free capacity, an optimizer workbench for running what-if scenarios in memory, and a sequence-dependent setup matrix. The Complete edition adds multi-level MRP, inventory management, purchasing, material pegging, master production scheduling and sales order handling on top of the APS functionality.

The vendor's site describes the product as suited to plants that already know what they need to build and want schedules that reflect actual shop-floor capacity, including multi-shift operations with holidays, downtime and setup dependencies. It runs as a Windows desktop application built on .NET 8, using SQLite for single-user setups and SQL Server for multi-user setups, which makes deployment a hybrid model: a licensed client application connected to a database rather than a purely cloud-hosted service.

Pricing is published directly on the site: EDGEBIC APS is a one-time perpetual license at 25,000 USD, and EDGEBIC Complete is a one-time perpetual license at 35,000 USD. The site states both editions run the identical scheduling engine and differ only in whether material planning is included. It describes ERP integration through Excel, CSV and database import/export masks rather than named connectors, and does not specify which ERP systems these masks have been built against, or what implementation and support costs come on top of the license fee.
