NETRONIC Visual Advanced Production Scheduler

What NETRONIC Visual Advanced Production Scheduler is

NETRONIC Visual Advanced Production Scheduler, or VAPS, adds visual finite-capacity scheduling to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central’s standard manufacturing functionality. It is designed for configure-to-order manufacturers scheduling machine work and labor-intensive assembly. Planners can create multiple schedule simulations, compare scenarios using KPIs, and publish a selected schedule. Scheduling can be automatic or managed with drag and drop, without resource overbooking. VAPS calculates the earliest material availability date for each production-order line and can be configured to block schedules that violate that date. Routing steps can use alternative machines and runtime and setup-time factors. The product is designed exclusively for Business Central, and NETRONIC says its scheduling logic runs within Business Central so customer data does not leave it. VAPS is available through AppSource for Business Central in Microsoft’s cloud and for local installation with Business Central on-premises. Downloading it from AppSource provides a 30-day trial. There is no free plan, and pricing is on request.
