| Features | EDGEBIC APS$25,000 · Advanced planning and scheduling | EDGEBIC Complete$35,000 · Planning, materials and inventory |
|---|---|---|
▶Finite Capacity SchedulingSchedules orders against the real capacity of the plant: shift calendars, holidays, downtime, machine instances and operator skills. Forward from a start date or backward (just-in-time) from a due date, per job or group of orders. | ||
▶Schedule OptimizationThe optimizer evaluates dozens of complete schedules and keeps the best one. The result is never worse than the plan you already had. | ||
▶Multi-Shift CapacityDay, night and weekend patterns per work center, with holidays, downtime and per-day overrides the engine actually respects. | ||
▶Visual Routing Designer (Bill of Resources)Build routings as a flow chart: every operation is a node and every dependency is an arrow, so you can lay out your whole factory the way you would sketch it on a whiteboard. | ||
▶The Planner View with Drag and DropYour jobs and your machines on one screen. Drag an operation from a job straight onto the machine that will run it. Every change is staged, so nothing commits until you save. | ||
▶Multi-User Live PlanPlanners and supervisors share one live plan on SQL Server, and open screens pick up shop-floor changes on their own. | ||
▶Sequence-Dependent Setup, Groups and AlternatesSetup times that depend on what ran before, work center groups, and alternate routings the scheduler can choose between. | ||
▶Tracking ActualsUpdate any step without updating the others: the system assumes predecessors are done and rebalances the rest of the schedule. | ||
▶ERP IntegrationImport items, work centers, routings and orders through Excel, CSV and database import-export, apply the finite capacity scheduling your ERP cannot, and send realistic dates back out. | ||
| The material side: EDGEBIC Complete only | ||
▶Multi-Level MRPMaterial requirements planning with dependent demand across every BOM level: work out what to build and what to buy, and when. | - | |
▶Inventory ManagementOn-hand ledger, projected balance and available to promise, so the plan always knows what is really in stock. | - | |
▶Master Production ScheduleA top-level build plan that drives scheduling and material requirements together. | - | |
▶Purchasing, Suppliers and ReceivingRaise purchase orders from scheduled demand, track suppliers, and receive against open orders. | - | |
▶Material PeggingA job waits for the delivery that covers it, so material availability constrains the schedule instead of surprising the floor. | - | |
▶Sales Orders and Firm DemandCapture firm customer demand and let it drive the plan alongside forecast. | - | |
