Know which jobs will be late.
Pick a fix that's already checked.
Quogen APS works from the ERP you already run. Nothing on the schedule changes until your planner approves it.
Option · pull JOB-4468 forward to Wednesday on WC-11, so JOB-4471 grinds Thursday.
Illustrative example. You're the planner: nothing moves until you approve.
The real schedule lives on a whiteboard and in one person's head.
Your ERP holds the jobs and routings, but its dates rarely account for what each machine can take. So the order of work sits on a board or in a spreadsheet, and the planner rebuilds it every time a rush job lands, a machine goes down or a vendor ships late.
Plenty of shops have bought their ERP's scheduling module and gone back to the board. Keeping it current took longer than the work, and the floor didn't believe what it printed.
What your planner gets.
Late jobs, while there's still time
APS schedules every job against what each machine, shift and outside vendor can actually take, and flags the ones that will miss their date, with the reason.
A checked fix when the week breaks
When a machine goes down, a vendor slips or a rush job comes in, APS works out a few ways to recover: re-sequence, split, expedite or move a date. A solver checks each one against your constraints. Your planner picks one, edits it or rejects them all.
A schedule that doesn't depend on one person
Every change is recorded: who decided, what they chose and why. The shop can keep running when the planner is out, and each promise date is checked against the day the job shipped.
It works from the ERP you already run.
APS reads your jobs, routings and due dates through an export or API you already have, and writes nothing back. Where the data is too thin to support a call, it says so and tells you which gap to close first.
You start with a paid pilot at one site. APS runs beside your board, so you can compare the two before you rely on it.
How APS worksMake engineered products to order?
We also build two products for makers of engineered and configured products, on the same platform as APS.
Company Brain
Answers to engineering and quoting questions from your own approved rules and past decisions, with the source attached. It says so when the answer isn't there.
What Company Brain doesConfigurators and calculators
Your design rules as tested code inside design and quoting. AI reads the RFQ, and code does the math.
How we build configuratorsAll three products, APS included, run on the same platform.
Your data stays where you put it.
Here is who owns it, where the models run and what we won't do with it.
You own it
Your data, and anything we derive from it, belongs to you. Export it whenever you like. If you leave, it leaves with you.
Private models
First deployments run on self-hosted inference inside a boundary you approve, so production data stays off public AI services. Cloud models may become an opt-in later, only for data you approve.
Nothing shared
Your rules and history improve your deployment and nobody else's. Wider learning needs separate written permission, and it's never a condition of service.
Synthetic data
Our engineers and their coding tools build and test against synthetic data. They don't get your production records by default.
What shop owners ask first.
No. APS reads from the ERP you run, and the ERP stays your system of record. The pilot starts read-only, and nothing writes back to the ERP without a separate, approved decision.
The usual complaint about ERP scheduling modules is that keeping them current takes longer than the work, and the floor stops believing what they print. APS re-plans from the same ERP data when something changes, shows a few checked fixes with what was checked, and your planner picks one. During the pilot it runs beside your board, so you can compare the two before you rely on it.
APS starts from what your ERP already holds. Where the data is too thin to support a call, it says so and names the gap to close first. The pilot doesn't change how your floor works.
No. A constraint solver builds the schedule and checks every option. AI reads the messy inputs, like a vendor's email about a late shipment, and explains the options in plain language. Your planner decides.
It's paid, at one site, on one workflow, with one data route, and planned for four to six weeks of operation once the data and deployment are ready. We agree how to measure success with you after a baseline exists. We don't guarantee delivery or performance results, and we don't promise a setup time.
MAP, the Manufacturing Agentic Platform, is the software under every Quogen product. It reads the systems you run into one model of your operation. You buy APS, Company Brain or a configurator; MAP comes with it.
About Quogen
Quogen is a small, self-funded company. We build scheduling software for job shops, and knowledge tools and configurators for makers of engineered products, all on one platform, MAP. Our products work beside the ERP you have, and in all of them the arithmetic is done by code.
