From demand to a plan you can deliver.
Plan capacity months ahead, sequence the work and adapt when production changes. Zentio connects every planning horizon and shows the delivery impact and cost before you commit.

See the demand before it reaches the floor.
Confirmed orders and forecasts meet the capacity of every work center, month by month. Find the bottleneck, see where hours sit idle and test a capacity move before the peak arrives.
- Load against shift calendars, holidays and available capacity
- Saturday shifts, new machines and training compared against the same baseline
- Approved capacity moves carried into the detailed schedule

- Over capacity
Turn available capacity into a workable sequence.
The scheduling agent plans orders across machines, people, materials and tooling. Your priorities and setup matrix determine which jobs run together, while finite capacity and qualifications keep the sequence feasible.
- On-time delivery, utilization, changeovers and cost in the order you set
- Machine calendars, skills, materials and tooling respected
- Pinned sequences, equipment and release dates kept in every new plan
Keep the plan moving when production changes.
A stopped machine or a rush order triggers a new draft. Zen shows which orders move and compares alternatives, including how they hold up if another machine stops.
- Affected orders and revised delivery dates shown together
- Overtime, extra shifts and alternative machines tested before use
- Automatic changes or approval by your team, at the autonomy level you choose
Approve the plan with its cost in view.
Compare each draft with the active version before releasing it to the floor. Machine cost, labor premiums and tied-up capital sit beside on-time rate, using the rates from your ERP, HR system and cost accounting.
- Machine cost by setup, run and teardown, plus material and work in progress
- Overtime, lease and training cost against the late orders each capacity move avoids
- One reviewed version, released to the shop floor up to the horizon you choose

Questions about planning and scheduling.
How do capacity planning and detailed scheduling connect?
Both work from the Agentic Twin, one dynamic model of your operation. Long-term planning compares demand with work-center capacity. Approved changes update the calendars that detailed scheduling uses, so the daily sequence starts from the capacity you planned.
How far ahead can we plan?
As far as your confirmed and planned orders reach, month by month and work center by work center. Shift calendars and holidays are included.
Which priorities and constraints does the schedule respect?
Your team ranks on-time delivery, utilization, changeovers and cost. The agent respects finite capacity, machine calendars, skills, material availability, tooling and the directives your planners set. Your setup matrix determines the time between product families.
What happens when a machine stops or a rush order arrives?
The scheduling agent prepares a new version and shows the affected orders, dates and cost. It takes effect automatically or after approval, at the autonomy level your team chooses.
Which financial metrics can we compare?
Variable machine cost, labor premiums and tied-up capital sit beside delivery and utilization metrics. Capacity scenarios also compare overtime, lease or training cost with the late orders avoided. Rates come from your ERP, HR system, cost accounting or Excel files; actual costs stay in your ERP.
How does the approved plan reach the shop floor?
Your team releases the active version up to its chosen horizon, early enough for material staging and setup. Shift leads confirm it at the terminal or flag what stands in the way.
