Understand what changed, see your options and put the next move into action. Zentio is the agentic manufacturing OS: one dynamic system from the shop floor to every decision, with agents that work alongside your team.
OrdersCan we take this order and still meet every delivery date?Decision: Accept it for Friday and change the sequence on CNC 02
DisruptionsAn operator called in sick and CNC 04 is out from 13:00 to 15:00. Who covers and what moves?Decision: Assign a qualified replacement and move MO-000216 to CNC 03
Know-howI’m new here. Which machine do we usually run the aluminum housings on?Decision: Run them on CNC 03 with fixture F-12, set up from sheet SS-118
Workforce planningHow many people do we need for the next 6 months?Decision: Upskill 2 operators and add Saturday shifts before the March peakRequirement and current commitments

Explore planning and scheduling
Machine states arrive from your MES and over OPC UA, and operators report progress at the terminal. The master data agent compares planned times with what the floor reports back and proposes corrections to setup times, standard times and routings.

Zentio picks up the unwritten rules your planners follow, applies your team’s fixed rules to every plan and shows the reasoning behind each proposal. A learned rule only takes effect once your team confirms it.

2 fewer changeovers a week
At the core of Zentio sits the Agentic Twin, which continuously mirrors your machines, people, materials, orders and knowledge. Specialist agents share it to schedule work, staff shifts, keep master data precise and explain what changed.
Inside the Agentic TwinPlanners, shift leads and operators set the rules and make the decisions Zen brings to them.
Zen answers questions, handles routine work within the rules you set and asks your team for every decision beyond them.
They do the work behind each answer: scheduling, scenarios, staffing or master data.
It holds everything from machine states to the rules your team confirms.
Your ERP, MES, machines and Excel files stay in place and feed the Agentic Twin with orders, routings and machine states.
Each pass leaves the Agentic Twin more precise.
Zen reads the Agentic Twin to show what changed, which delivery dates are at risk and where you lose time and capacity. Each answer keeps recorded facts apart from assumptions.

The agents compare your options with their cost, test each one against likely disruptions and draft the next move for your team to approve.
Specialist agents · Your team
Stop reasons, actual times and the rules your team confirms flow back into the Agentic Twin. The master data agent proposes new planned times when the actuals drift.
Master data agent · Knowledge graph
Priorities, directives, scenario comparison and a release step keep every change under control.
Rank on-time delivery, overtime and changeovers, then name the customers that come first. The agents weigh every option against them, so a disruption gets the answer your team would give.
Pin a sequence, a machine or a release date for any week ahead, and every new plan respects it. Zen also drafts directives from your team’s decisions and sends you each one to confirm.
See on-time rate, utilization and cost side by side before a scenario goes live.
Send the active version to the floor up to the horizon you choose, early enough for setup and material staging. Shift leads confirm it at the terminal or flag what stands in the way.

Zentio connects to your ERP, MES, machines, spreadsheets, CAD and unstructured data without replacing any of them.
Integrations and securityNot on the list? We confirm the connection for your system during the evaluation.
AutomotiveProduction parts on call-off, where a late truck can stop a customer’s line.
Aerospace and defenseHigh-value parts on long routings, where outside processes set the delivery date.
MachineryMachines and equipment built to order, where one missing part holds up the whole build.
ElectronicsHigh-mix electronic assemblies, where the components on hand decide what runs next.
Food and beverageBatches on shared lines, where every product change can mean a washdown.
Consumer goodsMany SKUs on a few lines, where every promotion competes for capacity.Zentio plans against real capacity, keeps your bottleneck running with fewer changeovers, shortens queue times between operations and replans automatically the moment a machine stops.
Results may vary by plant.
Pick a line or a department, name the question that matters most there and agree on the numbers that will show success.
The Zentio team connects the orders, resources, routings and shift calendars for that area, and your planners work with Zentio every day.
Review the results together in a decision memo for your leadership team, then agree on systems, roles and controls for the next stage.
Security and hosting
Zentio is the agentic manufacturing OS. The assistant, planning and scheduling, the shop floor, workforce and knowledge management run as one system on the Agentic Twin, a dynamic model of your machines, people, materials and orders, with agents that work alongside your team.
Every area of Zentio works from the Agentic Twin and shares the same agents. A stop recorded at a terminal updates the schedule, the roster, the cost figures and the answers Zen gives, and a rule your team confirms applies everywhere at once.
Yes, as one area of the system. Detailed planning and scheduling share the Agentic Twin with the shop floor, workforce and knowledge management, and Zentio checks every proposal against your orders, machines, people and materials before it reaches your team.
Only within the limits you set. You decide who approves changes and which workflows are in scope, and Zentio asks your team for every decision beyond those limits.
Zentio connects to ERP systems such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Infor, Proalpha and abas and receives machine states from your MES and over OPC UA. It imports and exports Excel and CSV files, reads CAD data and links documents such as work instructions and shift notes to the machines, materials and orders they describe. During your evaluation, we confirm the connection method and update frequency for each system.
Zentio stores your data in Germany, or in another region if you prefer, and is GDPR compliant. Zentio works with all common large language models, or with one you host yourself. Your data is never used to train the models. Your team decides which data Zentio reads.
One operational question and the data behind it: orders, resources, routings and shift calendars for the area you choose.
See how Zentio helps your team work through it.
