AI Planning & Scheduling

A schedule your floor can actually run.

SteadyFloor's planning engine turns demand, routings and real constraints into a feasible, optimised schedule. When a machine goes down or a rush order lands, the AI proposes a new plan and shows you exactly what changed and why.

Capabilities

What you get with AI Planning & Scheduling

Finite-capacity engine

Machines, crews, skills, shifts, tools and material availability are modelled as hard constraints — no more plans that only work on paper.

Goal-driven optimisation

Weight on-time delivery, changeover time, utilisation or cost. The optimiser finds the best trade-off for this week's priorities.

What-if scenarios

Clone the plan, add a shift or a new order, compare KPIs side-by-side and publish the winner.

Explainable AI

Every reschedule comes with a plain-language reason: which constraint moved, which orders are affected, and the impact on due dates.

Sequence-dependent changeovers

Colour, size, allergen or tooling matrices are respected automatically to minimise setup time.

Capable-to-promise

Give sales a reliable ship date in seconds based on real capacity, not lead-time guesses.

FAQ

AI Planning & Scheduling questions

How is AI planning different from ERP/MRP planning?

ERP and MRP assume infinite capacity and fixed lead times. SteadyFloor schedules against real, finite capacity — machines, people, tools and materials — and uses optimisation to find the best sequence.

Can planners still override the schedule?

Yes. Planners can pin, move or lock any operation. The engine respects those decisions and re-optimises everything around them.

How long does it take to model our plant?

Most plants import resources, routings and orders from their ERP in days, not months. We start with your bottleneck and expand from there.

See your plant run on SteadyFloor.

Bring two weeks of real orders. We'll build a live schedule on your bottleneck in the demo.
