Manufacturing Production Software for Synchronized Operations
Synchrono® delivers modern manufacturing production software designed to optimize efficiency, streamline operations, and keep production flow synchronized from end to end. Built with advanced planning and scheduling at its core, our solutions provide manufacturers with the visibility and control needed to meet today’s complex demands.
Key differentiators of the Synchrono® platform include:
- Real-time updates that connect people, machines, and processes for instant alignment across the factory.
- Constraint-based planning that ensures schedules are realistic, achievable, and optimized for throughput.
- Integration flexibility with ERP and other enterprise systems, creating a unified digital ecosystem.
With Synchrono®, manufacturers gain the tools to increase throughput, reduce waste, and deliver on time—even in high-variability environments.
Designed With Real Manufacturing Challenges in Mind
Synchrono® solutions are built by manufacturing experts, for manufacturers. With more than 25 years of APS leadership we understand the realities of managing complex production environments where every order, machine, and material matters.
Our manufacturing production software is tailored to address challenges such as:
- Custom assemblies that require flexible scheduling and rapid changeovers.
- Multi-site production networks where visibility across facilities is essential.
- Regulated industries like medical devices or aerospace, where compliance and traceability are critical.
- High-mix operations that depend on adaptability and lean workflows.
For example, aerospace manufacturers use Synchrono® to align production scheduling software with regulatory checkpoints, ensuring compliance without delays. Capital equipment manufacturers manage complex processes while keeping teams on track with real-time manufacturing software. In both cases, our tools connect planning and scheduling to execution, helping companies achieve key KPIs like shorter lead times, improved on-time delivery, and higher throughput.
Our approach is rooted in demand-driven manufacturing and pull-based strategies. By shifting focus from forecast-driven plans to actual demand signals, manufacturers gain agility, reduce inventory, and keep flow synchronized with customer needs. Our ability to adapt across industries means even the most diverse companies with the highest variety of manufacturing environments can achieve operational consistency along with strategic flexibility to scale and evolve with market shifts.
Built to Integrate with Your Entire Manufacturing Tech Stack
Modern manufacturers rely on a wide range of digital tools to keep operations running. Synchrono® ensures that our manufacturing software integrates seamlessly with your existing systems, protecting your investments and eliminating silos. Rather than forcing you into a rip-and-replace model, we connect with what you already use, creating a smarter, more connected environment.
Supported integrations include:
- ERP software (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Epicore and Infor): Connect financial and operational data for stronger alignment between production and business performance.
- MES systems: Coordinate execution and shop-floor control, ensuring schedules translate directly into actionable tasks.
- MRP tools: Synchronize material requirements with production schedules, reducing shortages and overstock.
- PLM systems: Link product design with manufacturing to streamline engineering change orders and reduce delays.
- QMS software: Ensure compliance, traceability, and quality management across regulated industries.
- CRM platforms: Align customer orders and requirements directly with scheduling and production capacity.
By creating a unified digital ecosystem, Synchrono® supports smart factory technology initiatives and enables end-to-end supply chain synchronization. This integration delivers:
- Scalable growth, as systems expand alongside your business without disruption.
- Interoperability across platforms, removing the inefficiencies of disconnected tools.
- Streamlined decision-making, with one connected source of truth accessible to every department.
With Synchrono®, you’re not just running isolated systems—you’re building a foundation for Industry 4.0 and future-ready operations. Our integrations reduce duplicate work, accelerate adoption, and enable enterprise-wide visibility. The result is maximized ROI from your current IT stack while preparing your organization for long-term digital transformation.
Real-Time Visibility from Shop Floor to Enterprise
In today’s manufacturing environment, factory floor visibility is not optional. Without it, companies risk late deliveries, missed commitments, and costly inefficiencies.
Synchrono® provides real-time manufacturing software that gives every stakeholder—from operators to executives—instant access to the data they need. From order release to final shipment, every update is tracked in real time. This eliminates guesswork, prevents misalignment, and ensures that priorities are clear at every level.
Use case example: When an order is released, Synchrono® automatically updates labor assignments, material availability, and machine schedules. Operators see their tasks instantly, managers gain insight into workflow progress, and executives monitor key performance metrics. This level of operational efficiency ensures your entire team works from one accurate version of reality.
Beyond shop-floor control, Synchrono® visibility tools strengthen collaboration between departments and across multi-site operations. Shared data enables consistent reporting, more accurate demand planning, and faster responses to disruption. Manufacturers that adopt this approach not only achieve greater efficiency but also gain a competitive edge through predictable, customer-focused delivery performance.
Transform Production with Data-Backed Decisions
True improvement comes from actionable data—not guesswork. Synchrono® aggregates, analyzes, and synchronizes information from across your enterprise, turning raw data into meaningful insights that fuel smarter decision-making. With advanced manufacturing analytics built into our platform, every team member has the visibility they need to act with confidence.
Our analytics tools provide insights into:
- Throughput trends: Identify where flow slows down and prioritize improvements to keep work moving efficiently.
- Cycle times and WIP levels: Highlight inefficiencies, bottlenecks, or rework areas that increase lead times.
- Capacity constraints: Pinpoint limits in labor or machines that prevent operations from meeting demand.
- Scheduling optimization opportunities: Reduce late orders, overtime, and costly expediting by aligning resources with demand.
The impact in real time: With live production updates, Synchrono® ensures plant managers, engineers, and executives always work from the same accurate data. For example, clients using SyncView®, a real-time dashboard software, report a 25% faster response to disruptions because issues are flagged early, preventing cascading delays and missed deliveries.
Why it matters: By combining analytics with production scheduling software, manufacturers gain the ability to adjust quickly, improve manufacturing flow, and achieve measurable ROI. These insights empower teams to:
- Lower operational costs by reducing waste and overtime.
- Boost throughput and order fulfillment without additional capital investment.
- Support continuous improvement programs with concrete performance data.
Ultimately, Synchrono® analytics help create a culture of improvement where decisions are backed by evidence, not assumptions—building long-term efficiency and competitive advantage in dynamic markets.
