The core valueA clearer view of
A clearer view of
what your factory
can deliver.
A production plan needs to account for more than order dates. Machines, material receipts, labour, tooling and changeovers all shape what is possible.
CAI PlanetTogether brings these constraints together so your teams can assess the trade-offs before releasing work. Connect planning, operations, supply chain and sales around a shared, achievable schedule.
Spend more time deciding.
Reduce manual replanning and compare recovery options when production conditions change.
See the capacity you can use.
Understand resource loading, work in progress and changeover trade-offs before adding cost.
From constraints to a working planPlanning that
Planning that
reflects production.
Bring the details that shape your factory into the decisions that shape your schedule.
Finite capacity scheduling
Build schedules around available machines, shifts, labour and resource capabilities. Identify overloaded work centres and explore alternative resources or additional time.
Material-aware planning
Align production with inventory, expected receipts, bills of materials and routings. Make shortages visible and see which orders depend on a delayed material.
Changeover & campaign sequencing
Account for sequence-dependent setups and production priorities. Compare how grouping compatible work affects setup time, resource use and delivery commitments.
What-if scenarios
Test a rush order, equipment outage, extra shift or changing demand in a separate scenario. Compare the effects before choosing a revised schedule.
Capable-to-promise
Assess a new order against available materials and capacity. Use a simulated job to estimate feasible production dates and understand the constraints behind the answer.
Shared, visual planning
Use Gantt schedules, capacity views and planning dashboards to coordinate decisions. Support multiple planners and facilities with visibility into loading, priorities and changes.
Put capacity in view
See where the plan needs attention.
Bring resource loading, constraints and planning measures into a shared view. Give your teams a clearer starting point for the next scheduling decision.

Illustrative planning questionsA rush order arrives.
Can we accommodate it with current capacity? Compare the effect on existing commitments, alternative sequences and additional shifts.
A key machine goes down.
What work is affected? Review capable alternative resources and recovery options against the orders that matter most.
Changeovers consume the shift.
Would grouping compatible products help? Examine setup time and resource loading alongside the delivery trade-off of longer campaigns.
Materials arrive late.
Which jobs can still run? See what should move and what purchasing, production and customer service need to review together.
A connected planning environmentFrom business demand
From business demand
to production action.
CAI PlanetTogether adds detailed planning and scheduling to your technology environment. ERP supplies business and master data. MES and operational systems supply production progress. APS uses that information to calculate and revise the plan.

We bring CAI PlanetTogether together with industrial technology, systems integration and delivery expertise.
From choosing the right starting scope to helping planners use the system, we build the implementation around your people, processes and production priorities.
- 01
Assess & define
Review planning pain points, constraints, decision rules and data readiness. Agree the initial scope, licensing needs and measures of progress.
- 02
Model & connect
Translate production into resources, calendars, routings and scheduling rules. Prepare and validate the ERP and operational data connections.
- 03
Test & adopt
Work through representative orders and disruption scenarios with planners. Refine the model, train users and prepare the agreed go-live scope.
- 04
Support & improve
Review schedule quality, model assumptions and user feedback. Extend the solution as planning practices and business requirements evolve.
Your questionsA clearer
A clearer
starting point.
Which manufacturing environments can it support?
CAI PlanetTogether supports process, batch and discrete manufacturing. Relevant environments include food and beverage, life sciences, chemicals, packaging and industrial manufacturing.
Can it work with our existing ERP and MES?
Yes. The platform supports data exchange with ERP, MES and other planning systems. The specific interfaces, data mappings and refresh frequency are defined during project design.
Can we choose cloud or on-premises deployment?
Both deployment approaches are available. TEXVIA can help assess the appropriate setup, application access and integration requirements for your environment.
Where should we start?
Start with the planning decisions that matter most, representative production data and a clear initial scope. We can then map the constraints, demonstrate relevant scenarios and define the implementation approach.
