For automotive suppliers, call-offs change daily, and the extra shifts and premium freight that follow eat into thin margins. Zentio is the agentic manufacturing OS: its agents track the output you lose to stops and scrap, price each extra shift and draft every new sequence for your planners to approve.
Zentio works alongside your ERP and reads machine states from your MES or straight from the machines. A changed call-off and a stopped machine reach the same plan.
Customers change quantities and dates every day. Your planners rework the sequence in Excel, and a missed truck means premium freight.
When a call-off changes, the scheduling agent drafts a new sequence and shows every order and changeover that moves. Your planners approve the draft before anything changes on the floor.
Explore planning and schedulingBy then, stock for the next truck is already running short. The shift logs the stop reason late or not at all.
When a machine stops, its terminal asks why, and operators record good parts and scrap as they go. The scheduling agent drafts a new sequence for the shift lead while the shift can still act.
Explore the shop floorOne week brings an extra shift, the next a canceled one. Only a few people are qualified to set up and run each line.
Zentio plans each shift from the production schedule and proposes only qualified people. You see what the premiums cost before you commit.
Explore shift planningThe settings that work for each tool are rarely written down. When those setup technicians are off shift, changeovers take longer and produce more scrap.
Zentio links setup sheets and the rules your setup technicians confirm to each machine, tool and part. The scheduling agent plans with them, and the next shift finds them at the terminal.
Explore knowledge managementThe customer pulls Friday’s B‑pillar call-off forward to Thursday. The scheduling agent places it first on press line 2, moves the cross member behind it and saves the plan as draft v12.
The short Thursday run ships part of the call-off from B‑pillar safety stock, so your planner adds a Saturday early shift on press line 2 to rebuild it. Zentio checks each person against the qualification matrix and proposes replacements.
At the core of Zentio sits the Agentic Twin, a dynamic model of your machines, tools, people, materials and call-offs. Specialist agents work from it to plan the lines, staff the shifts and show months ahead where ramp-ups and run-outs leave capacity short or idle.
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.

Through your ERP. Zentio reads orders, routings and resources from systems such as SAP, PSI, Infor and Proalpha. During your evaluation, we confirm the route for your scheduling agreements and call-offs, whether they arrive as VDA or EDIFACT messages or through a customer portal.
No. Zentio reads orders and machine states from them and adds terminals and shop floor screens where your team needs them. Your planners approve every change, and Zentio writes back to your systems only along a path you agree on with us.
The TISAX assessment and ISO 27001 certification are in progress. 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. Ask our team for current documentation and data-handling terms.
With one operational question, such as what a higher or lower call-off means for your bottleneck. We work with your own orders, routings, resources and shift calendars.
