Order scheduling for custom furniture and joinery
A made-to-order interior contains many different parts that must arrive together at assembly. Detailed scheduling connects panel processing, finishing and assembly for each released customer order.
Order scheduling. Simple. Efficient.
Automate routine work. Optimize operations. Meet deadlines.
Decide faster.
Compare scenarios. Work through chat. Make informed decisions.
Easy to adapt.
Your goals and rules for machines, shifts and processes.
Keep your existing systems.
An AI add-on for your planning. No system switch. Runs locally.
Today, the planner manually reconciles Excel and ERP or MES. With Apex, an AI agent prepares data from connected systems and creates planning alternatives. The planner sets priorities, reviews the result and releases the plan. The animation illustrates the workflow, not measured processing times.
With Apex
What your schedule needs to connect
Keep the order together
Connect component routes to assembly milestones. Similar panels may share a machine, but their customer commitments differ.
Sequence shared machines
Compare saw, edge-bander and CNC assignments with the required material and setup changes.
Finish before dispatch
Include finishing, drying where relevant, and final assembly so that early machining does not hide a later bottleneck.
Compare a concrete planning decision
Illustrative scenario with synthetic data
A synthetic workshop has two fitted-cabinet orders. One needs additional CNC operations; the other could complete assembly earlier if its edge-banding operations move forward.
- 01Panel cutting
- 02Edging / CNC
- 03Surface finishing
- 04Furniture assembly
What to compare
Compare machine sequences through complete furniture sets. Review dispatch commitments and the amount of unfinished parts waiting for assembly.
See scenario planning in ApexBring the data you already have
Start with agreed exports from Excel, ERP or MES. Map them to your production model before connecting recurring updates.
- Component workplans and links to furniture assemblies
- Material release dates, machine calendars and setup durations
- Assembly capacity and agreed dispatch dates
Configured for your operation
Cutting patterns and CNC programs come from your existing design and preparation tools. Installation routing and transport planning are outside this workshop example.
