Quogen Cadence is the AI-native production scheduler built for US mid-market manufacturers. OR-Tools CP-SAT constraint solver. Natural language rule deployment in under 2 hours. No ERP replacement required.
28,000 US manufacturers with 50–500 employees collectively schedule billions in production value using spreadsheets and gut instinct. Enterprise APS costs $500K+ to deploy and months to customise. Mid-market manufacturers are locked out — not because the technology doesn't exist, but because no one has built it for them.
Cadence isn't a re-skin of 1990s scheduling logic. It's constraint intelligence built from the ground up.
Cadence is the system of intelligence; your ERP remains the system of record. You get scheduling superpowers without touching your existing stack.
Enterprise APS tools are powerful but cost $500K+ and take months to customise. Lightweight schedulers are affordable but lack the constraint depth real manufacturing needs. Cadence is the first product that delivers both.

Our bellows manufacturing pilot is the stress test every APS tool should face: sequence-dependent die changeovers, furnace batch heat treatment, joint multi-resource welding cells, and hard quality gate enforcement. If Cadence handles bellows, it handles 80% of US precision fabrication.
