CoreScheduler
What it is
CoreScheduler is a paid cloud scheduling tool for small and mid-size manufacturers. Its live drag-and-drop grid places work centers, operators, and jobs together, while auto-scheduling considers due dates, machine and crew capacity, and priorities. Draft Mode allows private schedule experiments before publishing changes. Shop-floor features include live job queues, schedule-change notifications, and barcode scanning. Operators can view current and upcoming work and record start or finish actions on a phone, tablet, or shop-floor screen. Analytics show utilization, backlog hours, late and on-time tasks, and capacity forecasts by resource or group. The service describes role-based access, audit logs, tenant isolation, TLS encryption in transit, and session protections. New accounts receive a free trial without a credit card. The first 20 users cost $10 a month each; additional users cost $5 a month each.
