Cadence is a fully agentic production scheduler. It learns your plant's rules from the schedules you already have and builds the next one for your team to approve.
Orders, plants, and times are illustrative.
Advanced planning systems (APS) assume stable routings, trusted standards, and a team to run the implementation. This doesn't describe most plants. Most plants have changing configurations, imperfect master data, rush orders, and a planner who carries the real rules in their head. Cadence works with the plant you have.
Cadence reads the ERP you have. Inconsistent item names, BOM revisions in three formats, and half-filled fields stay visible on the schedule instead of blocking it.
Cadence reads your ERP and never writes to it. No cutover, no data migration. Stop using Cadence and your old sheets still work.
Your scheduler keeps their judgment. A rush order or a short part at 10 AM? Cadence reworks the afternoon and shows exactly what moved.
Cadence reads the schedules your team already built and turns the habits in them into rules it follows and you can check.

Connect the ERP you already run, or start from a spreadsheet export. Upload a schedule you have and Cadence is running in minutes.
Export a schedule your team already built, from your ERP or a spreadsheet, and drop it in.
It reads how your scheduler grouped, ordered, and split the work, and writes those patterns down as rules you can check.
Cadence builds next week's schedule from scratch, following your rules.
Cadence shows what a plan protects and what it gives up before anything reaches the floor.
Protect promises
See which orders are drifting toward a missed date while there is still time to change the plan, check material, or reset the promise.
Order 1842
Use the whole network
Move work when another site is a better fit, while keeping the pieces of a complete order together.
Plant A
At capacity
Plant B
Finish line + room
Plant C
No matching finish line
Compare the value
A full plant is not always the best plan. Compare the value and complete orders each sequence can release.
Tell Cadence what the floor knows, in plain language. It works the rule into the next plan for your scheduler to review.
The scheduling work that eats the week, done in minutes.
A machine goes down, a crew comes up short, a rush order lands. Cadence reworks the schedule and shows what moved, while you're still in the meeting.
Before sales promises a date, Cadence checks the new order against the plan and shows whether it fits and what it would push back.
Cadence goes through the backlog for missing parts and wrong routings, so problems turn up before the work reaches the floor.
Cadence learns the rules your scheduler works by, so someone else can put together next week's plan and get it right.
