ARIplan
Plan production on real constraints, not on spreadsheets.
ARIplan is the APS software of the ARI suite: it plans and schedules production at finite capacity, connects to the systems you already use and cuts delays, overtime and spreadsheet chaos.

The problem
Spreadsheets and static MRP are no longer enough.
Many manufacturers still plan production in Excel or with rigid MRP systems built for a simpler world. The result is always the same.
Plans that fall apart at the first disruption
Late deliveries and constant overtime
Bottlenecks nobody can really see
Hours spent every day "fixing" the plan by hand
ARIplan replaces this way of working with a modern APS, accessible from the browser and backed by AI, built for the reality of manufacturing companies.
Finite-capacity planning
Realistic production plans, calculated on machines, shifts, setups, materials and order priorities. A plan the shop floor can actually run.
Gantt scheduling
The plan on an interactive Gantt: load on every resource, sequence of operations and the immediate impact on delivery dates.
What-if scenarios
New orders, extra shifts, plant stoppages: you simulate every hypothesis on a copy of the plan and compare the results before you decide.
Built-in AI assistant
Ask in natural language and get answers, tables and dashboards based on the real data in your plan.
Simulate before you decide
Every hypothesis, tested first on a copy of the plan.
Create a scenario, change capacity, orders or calendars and recalculate: the official plan stays untouched until you pick the best option.

The questions you answer before deciding
“What happens if I add an extra shift next week?”
“If a large rush order comes in, which deliveries are affected?”
“If a machine stops for unplanned maintenance, where do I run late?”
AI assistant
Understand your production plan with a single question.
ARIplan's assistant is not a generic chatbot: it works directly on your APS data, with the same technology as ARIdb, and helps you read the plan faster and more precisely.

Which orders are at risk of delay this week?
Ask a question about the plan…
Where we are heading
Today the assistant queries planning data and builds answers, tables and dashboards on request. We are extending it to explain planning choices ("why is this order on line A and not on line B?"), answer questions on how to use the application and flag critical points in advance.
Who it's for
One APS, three perspectives.
Whoever builds the plan every day, whoever coordinates planning and logistics, whoever is accountable for on-time delivery: everyone finds the view they need in ARIplan.
Production planner
Less firefighting, more control.
Typical problems
Plans to redo at every disruption
Last-minute requests from sales

Interactive Gantt to see the whole sequence and act fast
Simulation scenarios to try alternatives before confirming
Alerts on critical orders, overloads and missing materials
Planning manager
One view of load and commitments.
Typical problems

Plant management
Visibility and reliability.
Typical problems
Knowing whether the plan is really feasible
Measuring the effect of an investment: a new machine, a new shift
Simple KPIs on on-time delivery and utilisation
With ARIplan
Summary dashboards on expected on-time delivery and resource load
Scenario simulation: an extra line, a stoppage, a new shift
The most critical product families and saturated lines, at a glance
How it works
From kickoff to a plan in use, in a few weeks.
ARIplan is a module of its own. You connect the other ARI modules to your systems and use them right away; an APS, instead, has to know your plant: resources, calendars, routings, priority rules. That is why ARIplan has no self-service trial: we configure it together with you and see you through to go-live.
01
Process and data analysis
Together we map your current planning process and the systems already in place (ERP, MES, spreadsheets) and decide where to start.
02
Configuration and integration
We configure ARIplan on your logic (resources, calendars, priority rules) and connect the data via Excel/CSV, API or database synchronisation.
03
Go-live and support
We put ARIplan into production and support your planning team in the first weeks, until the new way of working becomes routine.
The whole suite
An APS that is part of the ARI suite.
ARIplan is not standalone software: it shares technology, security and deployment options with the other modules.
ARIdb
ARIplan's assistant uses the same technology as ARIdb: natural-language questions, answers and dashboards on your plan data.
ARIflow
Through the MCP server, ARIflow workflows trigger replanning and what-if scenarios, with every run tracked.
ARIrun
The assistant can run on local models with ARIrun: production data never leaves your perimeter.
Integration
ARIplan works with the systems you already have.
It does not replace your ERP or MES: it receives the data, calculates the plan and returns it to the systems that execute it.
Excel and CSV
Import and export of master data, orders, bills of materials and calendars.
REST API
JSON interfaces for application integrations and third-party automation.
Database synchronisation
A generic ERP connector that aligns with your ERP at database level, Microsoft SQL Server included.
MCP server
AI agents and assistants can run plans and manage scenarios securely, with full traceability.
Features with ARIflow
ARIplan inside your ARIflow workflows.
With ARIplan's MCP server, an ARIflow workflow can replan and simulate scenarios without manual steps, while live data stays safe.
Replanning from a workflow
A workflow can trigger the plan calculation, for example after new orders are imported from the ERP.
Automated what-if scenarios
An agent creates a scenario, changes it and recalculates the plan: the comparison arrives without touching production data.
Every action tracked
Runs end up in ARIplan's audit log, under the identity of the user who authorised them.
Access under control
The MCP server is off by default: an administrator enables it, and access requires an authentication token.
Modules can be purchased individually. ARIflow is optional and expands each module's capabilities.
Features
Everything a modern APS needs.
From demand to an executable plan: ARIplan models the whole chain, from sales orders to production, purchase and distribution orders.
Real constraints
Machines, lines, work centres and resource groups, with calendars, shifts, planned stoppages and setups, including sequence-dependent ones.
Configurable priorities
Due date, customer importance, slack, FIFO or weighted combinations. Operations and orders can be locked as fixed.
Proprietary optimisation
Beyond the MRP plan: a multi-criteria optimiser compresses lead times and balances resources and operators, with weights tunable per scenario.
End-to-end pegging
Every sales order is linked to the orders that feed it: you know why an order exists and which deliveries slip if it stops.
Exceptions first
Late or at-risk orders, resources over threshold, unscheduled operations: dashboards and priority lists take you where it matters.
Background calculation
Launch the plan and keep working, even on large models. Recurring replanning, for example overnight, can be scheduled.
Access and security
Users, roles and permissions, SSO with your identity provider and a dedicated instance for each customer.
Pricing
A tailored project, not a price list.
ARIplan is configured on your plant: that is why the price is defined together, after the initial analysis.
