AI agent for production scheduling
Stop digging through screens. Ask Lucie what's wrong, and she finds it, runs the optimizer, and shows you the new plan — before you've finished your coffee.
AI agents on top of a real mathematical optimizer — built for the production floor
A CP-SAT constraint solver builds your schedule from master data — routes, BOMs, station capacity, shift calendars — and optimizes for what you choose: fewer changeovers, OTIF, balanced load, makespan.
Your entire schedule at a glance — color-coded jobs, capacity lanes, phase connections. Tell Lucie what to change or drag the bars yourself, from desktop, tablet, or phone.
Ask "what if order 92 jumps to today?" and compare KPIs side by side — OTIF, utilization, changeovers, makespan — before you commit. Name scenarios, tune priorities with sliders.
Bidirectional sync behind an approval gate: a standard OData v4 connector for SAP S/4HANA and ECC, plus Oracle, Dynamics 365, TOTVS, Odoo, or CSV. Nothing writes back without sign-off.
Lucie works with the systems you already run — a standard OData v4 connector for SAP, plus Oracle, Dynamics 365, TOTVS, Odoo, and plain CSV or Excel. Write-back always passes an approval gate.
Whether planning lives in your ERP or in a battle-worn spreadsheet, Lucie meets your floor where it is.
Your ERP stays the system of record. Lucie reads master data, optimizes the schedule, and writes back only with sign-off.
If the plan lives in a spreadsheet that breaks by Tuesday, Lucie replaces it — without an IT project.
Below 50, a planner with Excel works. Above 500, every hour rearranging the board costs you margin. Here is what flips.
| Dimension | Before Lucie | With Lucie |
|---|---|---|
01 Reschedule cycle A rush order used to cascade across Excel, whiteboard and ERP. Lucie replans one disruption in seconds and regenerates the full 4-week plan in under 3 minutes. | 6+ hours | Minutes |
02 OTIF deliveries OTIF isn't a hope — it's an objective the optimizer sequences against, and what-if scenarios show the impact before you commit. | Best effort | Solver objective |
03 Planner capacity Add facilities, lines, or SKUs without hiring more planners. Complexity stays in the model, not the team. | 1 plant | Multi-site |
04 Where the data lives Bidirectional sync with SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, TOTVS, Odoo or CSV — always behind an approval gate. No double entry, no reconciliation. | Spreadsheet | In your ERP |
Both layers exist, and they're separate. The schedule comes from a CP-SAT constraint solver — mathematical optimization over your routes, BOMs, capacities, and shift calendars. The AI agents sit on top: they configure the model, run the solver, explain the result, and propose changes in plain language. The agent never invents a schedule — the solver computes it.
No. Lucie is a scheduling layer above your ERP — it reinforces it. Master data comes in through a standard connector or flat files, the optimized schedule goes back only through an approval gate, and your ERP remains the system of record.
After a diagnostic workshop with your planning team, AI agents build the base configuration — lines, equipment, calendars, constraints, changeover rules — directly from your data. That's why base implementation costs $0: there's no army of consultants to pay for.
Lucie is a SaaS subscription per plant, modular by capability. Pricing doesn't scale with users, lines, or stations inside a plant. Book a demo for a quote tailored to your operation.
Lucie runs on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure (AWS), encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Access is governed by SSO (SAML 2.0 / OIDC — validated with Azure AD, Okta, and Google Workspace), role-based access control, and a full audit log. Your data is exportable in full, on request.
Always. Lucie is human-in-the-loop by design: agents propose, a person approves before anything touches the production plan. Planners can also edit directly — drag bars on the Gantt, lock orders, or adjust priority weights.
Lucie re-optimizes on disruption — machine down, material shortage, urgent order. It detects the change, proposes a re-plan with the impact spelled out, and applies it when you approve. You set the threshold for what may auto-approve.
The product, alerts, reports, and support are available in English and Spanish — planners talk to the agent in either, the way they'd say it on the floor.
$0 base implementation — AI agents configure Lucie from your data.
