Detailed scheduling for tool and mould making
Every tool follows its own route. Design changes and extra fitting work can shift a delivery date after machining has started. Apex helps compare the remaining operations against actual capacity.
Order scheduling. Simple. Efficient.
Automate routine work. Optimize operations. Meet deadlines.
Decide faster.
Compare scenarios. Work through chat. Make informed decisions.

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
Plan individual routes
Use a workplan for each tool or component, with its own durations and dependencies. Include alternative routes where your manufacturing team has approved them.
Coordinate scarce resources
A free EDM machine is not enough if the electrode is missing. Connect upstream work with equipment, skilled people and shared fitting or measuring stations.
Make changes reviewable
Create a separate scenario when a revision adds work. Compare new dates with the current plan while retaining completed operations and fixed appointments.
Compare a concrete planning decision
Illustrative scenario with synthetic data
A synthetic mould needs extra finishing after a design revision. The only suitable EDM machine is shared with another tool, and a try-out slot is already booked. Which sequence can still reach that slot?
- 01Milling
- 02Electrical discharge machining
- 03Fitting
- 04Try-out
What to compare
Review the added operation, resource conflicts and try-out dependency together. If the available capacity cannot meet the target, make that conflict visible before committing to a revised date.
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.
- Individual workplans with current revision and remaining work
- Electrode and component readiness, specialist equipment and skills
- Fixed try-out appointments, resource calendars and delivery priorities
Configured for your operation
Apex schedules defined work. Engineering decisions and unexpected rework require updated planning data; they are not inferred from CAD files. Validate special revision and rework rules during setup.
