SkyPlanner APS - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

SkyPlanner APS is cloud-based advanced planning and scheduling (APS) software that keeps a factory's entire production schedule current automatically. Its AI engine, Arcturus, developed in-house by the SkyPlanner team, calculates finite-capacity production plans in seconds, weighing machine and workforce capacity, shift calendars, material and inventory availability, setup times, and delivery dates.

Planning happens on a drag-and-drop Gantt timeline with what-if scenarios and dynamic priorities. The Autopilot feature re-optimizes the schedule automatically whenever shop floor reality changes, and the engine stays responsive even with schedules covering tens of thousands of active process steps. Operators log work through a browser-based shop floor app on any device (Android, iOS, or PC, with no native installs), feeding actual times, quantities, and material usage back into the plan in real time.
