ION Autoplan is a smart scheduling engine built for high-mix, fast-moving factories. It automatically prioritizes builds, assigns resources, and replans as conditions change — powered by real-time, data-backed insights with minimal manual input. Each completed build feeds the next, compounding efficiency across every cycle.
SEE HOW IT WORKS
Traditional MRP data goes stale fast. Autoplan flips the script by working backward from delivery dates, recalculating needs in real time to keep you on schedule and within budget.
Spot bottlenecks in real time and unblock flow before capacity is lost.
See true start-to-finish durations with dependencies, resources, and buffers included.
Lock in realistic completion and delivery targets you can confidently share with customers.
Trust a live system of record instead of chasing spreadsheets or ad-hoc updates.
One-click rerun of MRP reshuffles schedules as inventory, labor, or priorities shift.
Dynamic allocation assigns components to highest-priority work — even after kits are pulled.
Auto-generates timelines respecting inventory, machine availability, and labor capacity.
Calculates true lead time, identifies the task most likely to delay delivery for focused fixes.
Validates mBOMs, lead times, and demand, then schedules new work orders and launches kitting automatically.
Reassigns scarce parts to top-priority builds from prototype through scale for max output.
Instantly recomputes schedules when conditions change — no manual rescheduling needed.
Displays completion %, remaining hours, and blockers so everyone sees the same trusted snapshot.
