Build more with the components and capacity you have.
Customers pull in and push out orders every week, and components arrive late or short. Zentio is the agentic manufacturing OS: its agents count the line hours lost to shortages and stops, show what each pull-in would cost before you accept it and redraft the sequence for your approval.

Illustrative example: Zen reports that the MCU for WO-4466 now arrives Friday and that SMT line 2 would stand idle from 11:00. The planner asks what the line can build instead, and Zen proposes the sensor hub, WO-4482, from 11:00, since all its components are in stock. WO-4466 moves to Friday and still makes its delivery date.
Your product mix keeps changing. Components and qualified people set the limits.
Zentio works alongside your ERP, MES and line software and imports your Excel files. Your planners, process engineers and shift leads then work from the same data on every line.
Planning and scheduling
A late component rewrites the sequence.
When a supplier confirms a later date, your planner rebuilds the sequence by hand. The sequencing rules often live in a spreadsheet only one person understands.
The scheduling agent checks the material for every order and drafts a new sequence. Before approving it, your planner sees which orders still wait for parts.
Customer forecasts swing, and line load swings with them.
Pull-ins and push-outs leave a line full one quarter and half empty the next. Your planners often see the swing only when the orders are due.
Zentio sets every forecast against your line capacity months ahead. It compares the options, such as an extra shift, with their cost and the capital tied up in material.
When a machine goes down or a reel is missing, the line software knows at once. Your planner hears about it later from the shift lead.
Zentio detects the stop from the machine signal, and the operator records the reason at the terminal. The scheduling agent then replans the orders the stop delays.
Slot a pilot run into SMT lines that are already full. Where it runs on Thursday and who is qualified to staff it.
Makes room for the pilot run between series orders.
You pin the pilot run to SMT line 3, and the scheduling agent moves the series orders around it. Every change stays in a draft until you approve it.

The Agentic Twin: from component stock to delivery date. It knows which orders you can build, on which line and with whom.
The Agentic Twin is Zentio’s dynamic model of your lines, components, people, orders and knowledge. Its knowledge graph keeps the rules your engineers confirm, such as which product may run on which line. When a delivery slips, specialist agents replan from the new stock position.

Ask Zen
Your team
Your team
Planners, shift leads and operators set the rules and make the decisions Zen brings to them.
Ask Zen
Zen answers questions, handles routine work within the rules you set and asks your team for every decision beyond them.
Specialist agents
They do the work behind each answer: scheduling, scenarios, staffing or master data.
Agentic Twin
It holds everything from machine states to the rules your team confirms.
Your systems
Your ERP, MES, machines and Excel files stay in place and feed the Agentic Twin with orders, routings and machine states.
Three steps, repeated with every change.
Each pass leaves the Agentic Twin more precise.
01
Understand
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.

Questions from plants like yours.
Does Zentio connect to our ERP, MES and SMT lines?
Yes. Zentio reads work orders, routings and resources from your ERP, receives machine states from your MES or over OPC UA and imports your Excel files. During your evaluation, we confirm how your line software, placement machines, AOI and customer forecasts reach Zentio.
Does Zentio replace our ERP, MES or line software?
No. Your ERP stays the system of record, your MES keeps its traceability and your placement programs stay in the line software. Zentio writes changes back only along a path you agree on with us.
Can our customers’ BOMs stay in the EU, and which AI models does Zentio work with?
Yes. Zentio stores your data in Germany, or in another region if you prefer, and is GDPR compliant. Your team decides which customer data Zentio reads. Zentio works with all common large language models, or with one you host yourself. Your data is never used to train the models. ISO 27001 certification and the TISAX assessment are in progress.
What happens when a component arrives late?
Zentio shows every order that needs the part and drafts a new sequence from the orders you can still build. Your engineers decide on alternate parts, with your customer where needed. During your evaluation, we confirm how customer-supplied material and your approved vendor list reach Zentio.
How small can we start?
With one SMT line and one question, such as how to sequence it around late components. We need the work orders, routings and shift calendars behind it.
