In order to remain competitive, it is particularly important that planning – especially production planning – runs optimally. At best, you have an overview of all orders, resources and capacities at all times.
Is this the case in your company? Can you quickly answer the following questions by taking a look into your system?
Netronic’s graphic planning boards offer you the possibility of visualizing a wide variety of planning areas using Gantt charts, thus ensuring that you always have an overview of all resources, capacities and orders. You can carry out planning simply by dragging and dropping and thus react faster to changes in planning. This reduces errors and ultimately saves time and money.
If none of these modules is suitable for you, but you still have a use case for a graphical planning board, please contact us and we will find a suitable solution for you based on the Netronic modules.
Netronic has developed two add-ons for the production area:
The Visual Production Scheduler is Netronic’s interactive graphical planning board. It is an extension (app) fully integrated into the standard production module of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV.
The add-on visualizes
The App also enables intuitive planning by drag-and-drop. All changes are written back to Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV.
The add-on is available for Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics NAV.
The Visual Advanced Production Scheduler is an even more comprehensive graphical planning board from Netronic.
In addition to the functions of the Netronic Visual Production Scheduler, it offers
The add-on is available for Dynamics 365 Business Central.
The add-ons Netronic Visual Production Scheduler and Netronic Visual Advanced Production Scheduler appear very similar at first glance. First and foremost they are add-ons that can be used to design a graphical planning board.
As a technology interpreter, I will explain to you clearly where differences occur.
After all, the devil is in the detail.
