Production Scheduling Software for the Netherlands
Yes, EDGEBIC is available in the Netherlands. It is finite capacity production scheduling software (productieplanning software) from User Solutions, Inc. (Michigan, USA, founded 1991), sold and supported directly to Dutch high-tech suppliers, machine builders, agri-food equipment makers and metal fabricators. It installs on your own Windows systems, works alongside Exact, AFAS, Dynamics 365 Business Central and Isah, and is licensed one time rather than by subscription.
Where EDGEBIC Fits in Dutch Manufacturing
Dutch manufacturing punches far above its size. The Brainport region around Eindhoven feeds one of the most demanding supply chains in the world: precision modules, frames and subsystems for semiconductor equipment, built to tolerances and delivery windows set by the OEM. Around it sit machine builders in Brabant, Gelderland and Overijssel, agri-food and greenhouse equipment makers, and sheet metal and welding shops supplying all of them. The ERP handles the order and the invoice; it does not sequence a milling cell, a cleanroom assembly bay or a scarce measuring machine against finite capacity.
- First-tier and second-tier suppliers to semiconductor equipment OEMs with strict slot dates
- Machine builders running engineer-to-order projects and small series side by side
- Agri-food and greenhouse equipment makers with seasonal demand peaks
- Metal fabrication and precision machining shops with skilled operators as the constraint
- Exact, AFAS, Isah or Ridder iQ running finance and orders but not the shop floor sequence
- OEM confidentiality and data residency rules that exclude a foreign-hosted scheduling cloud
How EDGEBIC Serves Dutch 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 setup matrices and operator skills, and produces a schedule the floor can run and a delivery date the OEM can rely on. Dutch buyers comparing planningssoftware productie will recognise it as full APS rather than a Gantt viewer.
- Forward and backward finite capacity scheduling across machines and operators
- Theory of Constraints anchor scheduling around bottleneck machines and measuring rooms
- Sequence-dependent setup matrix with setup families
- Parallel work centres, true alternates and work centre groups
- Operator skills, certifications and shift rosters as constraints
- Project and small-series work scheduled together from one database
- ERP integration via Excel, CSV and database import-export
- Installed on your own Windows systems; one-time perpetual licence

EDGEBIC Versus the APS Vendors Dutch Manufacturers Shortlist
An honest view. Each of these tools is the right answer for somebody; EDGEBIC is the right answer for a Dutch supplier or machine builder 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.
Netronic and Just Plan It
Aachen, Germany, widely used in the Benelux
Visual Gantt add-ons for Dynamics 365 Business Central and a simple cloud job shop scheduler. Lighter than EDGEBIC on setup matrices, alternates and operator skills.
Siemens Opcenter APS (Preactor)
Siemens Digital Industries
The enterprise APS in the high-tech and semiconductor equipment supply chain. Best inside the Siemens stack; heavy implementation and licensing for a mid-sized supplier.
Asprova
Japan
High-end APS for large multi-line plants, common with automotive and electronics OEMs. Deep, but priced and implemented as an enterprise project.
MRPeasy, Katana and PlanetTogether
Estonia and United States
Cloud MRP with light scheduling (MRPeasy, Katana) and a subscription APS for multi-plant groups (PlanetTogether). EDGEBIC competes on true finite capacity, on-site data and one-time licensing.
