AI-Powered Production Scheduling for High-Mix Manufacturers
Turn your existing production data into an executable schedule for your high-mix shop. Skody helps you plan around real production constraints, spot delivery risks, and adjust as conditions change.
Keep your ERP—or start with structured files and periodic production updates.
Increase throughput, identify delivery risk earlier, and spend less time rebuilding schedules manually.

Machines + People Scheduled
Yeager Manufacturing
Yeager schedules machines and people together and runs what-if scenarios on live ERP data to test staffing and material changes before acting.

How Skody works
Step 1
Bring production data
ERP connection, structured files, paper-traveler updates, or periodic production updates.
Step 2
Build the schedule
Depending on configuration, Skody models finite capacity, routings, machines, people and skills, setups, pallets, materials, outside processing, dependencies, and due dates.
Step 3
Execute and adjust
Planners review the schedule, identify risks, override when needed, and recompute as production conditions change.
Update and recomputation frequency depends on the configured integration and production workflow: some connected shops update frequently or on significant ERP events; others update periodically or once per day. People, skills, pallets and other advanced constraints depend on deployment configuration.
Build the plan, then see where it is under pressure
The Scheduler produces the executable plan. Dashboards make its risks, constraints, and operational consequences visible.
Scheduler
Build a feasible plan around real production constraints.
Which job runs next, on which machine and, where configured, with which qualified person — and what changes when priorities or shop conditions change.
Dashboards
See delivery risk, bottlenecks, labor pressure, and blocked work before problems reach the customer.
Each view is based on the current schedule, so the team knows where to intervene first.

Implementation partner
Why On Time Edge chose Skody
“We partnered with Skody AI because it understands the realities of metal manufacturing. It brings materials, equipment, and qualified people together in one production schedule. Combined with practical coaching, that gives manufacturers a foundation for better scheduling decisions and lasting operational improvement.”
Real results from a job shop running Skody AI
"Skody AI completely changed how we schedule. We extended our planning horizon from one week to a full year — without locking ourselves in."

Production scheduling questions
It turns open orders, routings, resources and due dates into a feasible, executable sequence: which job runs next, on which machine and, where configured, with which qualified person. Skody is AI-powered advanced planning and scheduling software that builds an optimized schedule and can recompute it as production information, priorities and shop conditions change, while planners review and override the plan.
No. Skody is a scheduling and decision-support layer that works alongside an existing ERP or MES. The ERP remains the system of record for orders, inventory, purchasing and costing; Skody uses that information to build and recompute the production schedule. Skody is not a complete ERP or MES replacement.
Yes. Skody can start from a supported ERP integration, structured Excel files, end-of-day paper-traveler updates or other periodic production updates. Update and recomputation frequency depends on the configured integration and production workflow, so file-based and paper-based shops receive an updated schedule when new data arrives, often once per day.
