01
One plan for every machine
Drag work onto any machine, group it into runs and setups, and reorder it as priorities change. The all-machines board shows the whole floor, and every change updates every screen at once.
Production Scheduling
Every machine,
on one plan.
Apollo gives your production floor one schedule, so every machine, run, and shift is working from the same plan.
It replaces the whiteboard and the spreadsheet with one source of truth. Schedulers set the order, the floor sees what runs next, and the system keeps finish times, footage, and coil in sync as the plan changes.

See it running
The whole floor, on screen.
One plan, every angle. Schedulers work the board, the timeline shows how it lands, coil readiness flags shortages early, and the floor reads a clean operator sheet.
- Coil readiness, with shortages caught before a machine stops
- Every machine on one board, reordered by drag
- Start and finish times on a shared timeline
- A read-only sheet built for the shop floor
Why it matters
Four problems Apollo solves.
Every part of Apollo is built around how a shop floor runs its day.
02
Finish times you can rely on
Apollo calculates the start and finish for every order from run rates, changeovers, your operating hours, and your working days, so the dates you give customers reflect how the floor actually runs.
03
Material matched both ways
Every scheduled order is checked against the coil on hand to run it and the finished tube you've already made. Apollo flags a coil shortage before it reaches the floor, keeps galvanized separate from bare, and marks the orders that stock already covers, so you don't run what's sitting in the warehouse.
04
The schedule, anywhere
Give the floor, the office, and customers controlled, read-only access to the live schedule from anywhere through a no-login link, alongside operator and TV views and printable machine sheets.
The depth
One system, start to finish.
From the sales order coming in to the sheet in the operator's hand, the work lives in one place.
01
Scheduling board
Drag runs and setups across every machine and drop them exactly where they run.
02
Run-rate finish times
Run rates, changeovers, and your calendar produce realistic start and finish times.
03
Coil on hand
Demand matched to coil on hand, with shortages flagged before they stop a machine.
04
Operator & kiosk views
Read-only schedules that stay aligned and auto-size to a shop-floor TV.
05
All-machines timeline
A live timeline of every machine, with operating hours, non-working days, and the current time marked.
06
Sales-order import
The daily ERP export drives the board, reading size, gauge, and length from the part number.
07
Printable machine sheets
A per-machine PDF that mirrors the floor view, for crews that still run on paper.
08
Read-only share links
Controlled, read-only access to the live schedule from anywhere by link, revocable any time.
09
Finished goods on hand
The daily inventory feed shows what's already built, so orders covered by stock stand out before they run.
10
Pounds & footage
Operators log pounds run, and remaining work and finish times update with it.
11
Roles & access
Four roles, Read-only to Admin, enforced on the server, not just the screen.
12
Activity log
A record of who changed what, in plain language, with sensitive values hidden.
The engine
Simple to use, solid underneath.
An easy board to run, with a dependable engine keeping the numbers right.
Estimates over your real calendar
Run time accrues across your working days and operating hours, with per-size run rates, machine changeovers, and gauge changes all included.
Coil matched at read time
Coil is matched against the live crosswalk on every read, so a re-import takes effect immediately, with nothing stale to maintain.
Live by default
Every change is broadcast over a live connection; screens refetch and redraw on their own.
Progress from the floor
Operators report pounds run, and remaining footage and finish times recalculate from actual production.
Controlled access
Read-only share links and four server-enforced roles control who sees the schedule and who can change it, with the links revocable any time.
Owns its own data
A self-contained database runs the app on its own, ready to sync with your ERP rather than depend on it.
The value
What it changes for the people running the floor.
→
Give dates that holdQuote finish times from real run rates and your calendar, not estimates.
→
Catch shortages earlySee coil gaps days ahead and order against them before a machine is idle.
→
Cut the busyworkReplace the whiteboard and spreadsheet; one schedule removes the re-keying.
→
One shared planFloor, office, and schedulers all read the same live board.
→
Access from anywhereHand out controlled, read-only access to the schedule by link, no account.
→
Ship from stockSee when finished tube already covers an order and skip re-running it.
The shop floor, under control.
Apollo keeps the whole floor on one plan, from the order coming in to the product going out.
