Build the roster from the work ahead.
Zentio translates planned work-center load into the people and skills each shift needs. The agents level peaks and idle time across weeks and compare new shift patterns before you introduce them.
- Required headcount per shift and qualification
- Assignments balanced by availability, experience and preference
- Two shifts, three shifts or a four-day week compared on delivery, overtime and cost
- Mon · EarlyCNC
- Wed · LateCNC
- Thu · NightInspection
- Fri · EarlyLathe
Know who is qualified before you assign them.
One qualification matrix connects people to work centers, with levels and validity dates. Zentio checks every assignment and flags expiring approvals with the shifts they put at risk.
- Machine and process skills, inspection approvals and safety training
- Training evidence and a record of who changed each qualification and when
- The matrix and its history exported to Excel for any audit date
- CNC millingLevel 2
- DeburringLevel 3
- CMM inspectionLevel 1

Cover the gap before the shift starts.
When someone is absent, the workforce agent proposes a qualified replacement and shows the effect on production. Your shift lead reviews the change with availability and contract hours already checked.
- Planned leave and unexpected absences in the same roster
- Valid qualifications checked for each affected work center
- Production priorities kept when the team changes

See the cost before the roster goes out.
Each replacement and shift model uses your pay grades and premium rules. For qualifications due to expire, Zentio also compares the renewal cost with the overtime needed to cover a gap.
- Night, weekend and overtime premiums per person per week
- Contract hours and extra labor cost shown for each replacement
- Renewals prioritized by the uncovered shifts and overtime they avoid
- Night380 EUR
- Saturday152 EUR
Questions about workforce planning.
Does the roster follow the production schedule?
Yes. Workforce planning shares the Agentic Twin with planning and scheduling. Staffing needs come from the planned load on each work center, and the roster follows changes to that schedule.
Which qualifications can we track?
Machine and process skills, inspection approvals and safety training, each with a level and validity date. The agent checks these records before proposing an assignment and connects lapses to the shifts they affect.
Can we import our matrix and prepare audit evidence?
Yes. Import the matrix from Excel or your HR system and map it to your work centers. Each entry retains its evidence and change history, so you can export the matrix as it stood on an audit date, scoped by plant, area or work center.
Who approves an absence replacement?
Zentio proposes a qualified replacement and shows the effect on production and overtime. Your shift lead approves the change.
Can we compare shift models and renewal costs?
Yes. Compare shift patterns by on-time delivery, labor cost and overtime. For an expiring qualification, compare the renewal cost with the overtime needed to cover the affected shifts.
Where is our employee data hosted?
Zentio stores your data in Germany, or in another region if you prefer, and is GDPR compliant. Your team decides which personnel data Zentio reads. Your data is never used to train the AI models.
