Production Scheduling Software for Irish Manufacturers
Yes, EDGEBIC is available in Ireland. It is finite capacity production scheduling software from User Solutions, Inc. (Michigan, USA, founded 1991), sold and supported directly to Irish medical device and pharma contract manufacturers, precision engineering firms and food equipment makers. It installs on your own Windows systems, works alongside SAP Business One, Sage, Intact iQ and Dynamics 365 Business Central, and is licensed one time rather than by subscription.
Where EDGEBIC Fits in Irish Manufacturing
Ireland has built one of the densest life sciences manufacturing bases in Europe. Galway is a global medical device cluster, Cork hosts pharma and biopharma sites, and Limerick and the Shannon region add precision engineering and contract manufacturing. Around the multinationals that Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland have attracted sits a supply chain of indigenous precision machinists, tool makers and contract manufacturers, plus a food and dairy equipment sector serving Irish agribusiness. Those suppliers carry the scheduling problem: validated equipment, certified operators, changeovers that cannot be skipped, and customers who audit delivery performance as closely as quality.
- Contract manufacturers supplying medical device and pharma multinationals with audited on-time delivery
- Validated equipment, cleanroom bays and certified operators as the binding constraints
- Precision machining and tool making with a unique routing for every part
- Food and dairy equipment builders balancing project work against seasonal demand
- SAP Business One, Sage or Intact iQ handling the money but not the shop floor sequence
- Quality and IT policies that prefer software inside your own change control rather than a vendor cloud
How EDGEBIC Serves Irish Manufacturers
EDGEBIC is an advanced planning and scheduling (APS) engine built on finite capacity scheduling for high-mix job shop and discrete manufacturing. It models machines, work centre groups, true alternates, sequence-dependent changeover matrices and operator certifications, and produces a schedule the floor can run and a delivery date that keeps you green on the customer supplier scorecard.
- Forward and backward finite capacity scheduling across machines and operators
- Theory of Constraints anchor scheduling around validated bottleneck equipment
- Sequence-dependent changeover matrix with setup families
- Parallel work centres, true alternates and work centre groups
- Operator skills, certifications and shift rosters as constraints
- Full schedule history for traceability and audit
- ERP integration via Excel, CSV and database import-export
- Installed on your own Windows systems; one-time perpetual licence

EDGEBIC Versus the APS Vendors Irish Manufacturers Shortlist
An honest view. Each of these tools is the right answer for somebody; EDGEBIC is the right answer for an Irish plant or contract manufacturer that wants real finite capacity scheduling, on its own systems, live in a week, without a subscription. Detailed head-to-heads are on the compare products hub.
Siemens Opcenter APS (Preactor)
UK origin, now part of Siemens
The APS most often found in multinational medical device and pharma plants. Strongest inside the Siemens stack; heavy implementation and licensing for a standalone Irish contract manufacturer.
PlanetTogether
United States
Subscription APS aimed at larger multi-plant operations, including pharma. EDGEBIC competes on one-time licensing and a five-day implementation.
MRPeasy and Katana
Estonia
Cloud MRP with light scheduling. Good for small assemblers; neither offers true finite capacity sequencing with setup matrices and alternate work centres, and your data lives in their cloud.
Just Plan It and Asprova
Germany and Japan
Just Plan It is a simple cloud job shop scheduler; Asprova is a high-end APS common in automotive and electronics supply chains. EDGEBIC sits between them on depth and cost.
