What cayPPS can do
Not a planning tool that runs alongside abas. One that lives inside it.
Every machine. Every order. One look.
The interactive Gantt scheduling board shows all operations across all machines – colour-coded by status and order. Overloads and delays are visible immediately. Move operations directly in the timeline by drag & drop. On request, AI-assisted optimisation suggests the best production sequence.
What's next? What's urgent? What can wait?
All manufacturing proposals at a glance – with delivery date, slack, critical ratio and material availability. Material availability is queried live from the abas warehouse – no stale import, no planning with yesterday's numbers. Filter by priority, delay or blocked material. Sort by urgency and see immediately which orders need action.
Which machine is doing what right now?
The work queue per machine and day shows capacity utilisation, planned and running operations at a glance. Quantities, open piece counts and processing times right at the terminal. Start and finish operations without media breaks – integrated shop data collection.
Plan capacities. Define exceptions.
Start times and capacities per machine or globally for the entire plant. Company holidays, maintenance windows, extra shifts – everything flows automatically into the planning. What isn't available doesn't get scheduled. cayPPS adapts to your abas customising, not the other way round.
Your production in numbers — fresh every morning.
The dashboard condenses your entire production into one view: manufacturing proposals, critical and delayed orders, blocked material, capacity utilisation for the next 14 days and the priority distribution. The abas sync runs automatically — a fast delta import during the day, a full import once a day.
Don't just plan machines. Plan people, too.
Same Gantt engine, different axis: every row an employee, every bar an operation. Bottlenecks, delays and critical operations sit as KPIs right above the board, switchable from a one-day to a three-month view. So you see immediately where staff is missing — and where there's room to spare.
What comes first? The list knows.
Every manufacturing proposal gets a score based on delivery date, slack and critical ratio — the result is an unambiguous sequence instead of gut feeling. Filters for "relevant only", "delayed", "critical" or "material blocked" turn more than a thousand proposals into a work list. The material status sits right next to it.
Every change has to pass the tests first.
The planning engine is protected by a test suite with invariants and golden values – no change reaches a customer before it has passed all tests. cayPPS ships as a Docker container on your premises; updates arrive via image pull, without any source code being handed over.
