Measure the Cost of Bad Planning
Rigid planning tools don't just slow you down. They bleed margin through wasted setups, phantom inventory, and schedules that collapse by midday. Naologic's production planning engine eliminates these silent killers with engineering-grade precision at every stage of the production lifecycle.
Core Planning Engine
Replace Your Spreadsheet Matrix With One Verified Pipeline
Legacy ERPs force you to manage BOMs, routing, tooling, and material logistics in disconnected modules - or worse, in Excel. Naologic fuses these into a single, validated production planning pipeline where every downstream step inherits verified data from the step before it.
Intelligent Bill of Materials
Define components with advanced fractional consumption strategies. Handle percentage-based recipes and dynamic weight calculations for process manufacturing - not just discrete part counts.
Visual Route Strategy Canvas
Architect multi-stage production pathways on a drag-and-drop node canvas. Map parallel sub-assemblies, define merge points, and validate the entire directed acyclic graph before releasing to the floor.
Automated Tooling Verification
Link required molds, dies, and fixtures to specific routing steps. The scheduler cross-references clamping force limits and maintenance status before allowing any job to be scheduled.
Step-Level Material Staging
Break your master BOM into phased picking tickets by routing step. Warehouse logistics delivers only the exact components needed at each workstation, not the entire bill at Station 1.
Route Planning
Pre-Plan Your Fallback Before the Bottleneck Hits
hen your primary machine goes down or hits capacity, scrambling to reroute production through alternative equipment halts the entire factory. Naologic lets engineers design and save multiple alternative route plans for each product. If the primary CNC is overbooked, instantly pivot the manufacturing order to a pre-validated secondary route using older machines - with accurate cost recalculations applied automatically. Zero scrambling. Zero guesswork. The fallback route is already engineered.
Digitize the Physics of Every Machine
Precise Machine-Level Costing
Combine fixed asset depreciation with variable utility and maintenance expenses to calculate a fully burdened hourly burn rate per machine. Your quotes will never underprice a complex job again.
- Direct labor rate per work center
- Energy consumption burden allocation
- Maintenance amortization built into hourly rate
- Fully burdened rate feeds quoting and COGS
Capacity Time Standards
Schedules that ignore setup and cleanup time collapse by noon. Define exact durations for machine preparation, tool changeovers, and post-run cleaning. The Gantt chart reserves this non-productive time automatically.
- Default setup and cleanup durations per machine
- Changeover time automatically added to schedule blocks
- Capacity engine prevents overbooking shifts
- Split jobs across days when capacity is exceeded
SKU-Specific Output Levels
A press might produce simple Product A at 500 units/hour but complex Product B at only 100. Map output levels dynamically by the intersection of machine and product for perfectly accurate run times.
- Per-product throughput rates by work center
- Scheduling engine uses specific rates over averages
- Quoting accuracy tied to granular machine speeds
- Supports unit-per-hour and weight-per-hour metrics
Quality Standards and Tolerances
Embed maximum rejection rates directly into the work center profile. If defects spike above your threshold, the system flashes immediate warnings and can halt the active job sheet until a supervisor overrides.
- Machine-specific over/under output thresholds
- Maximum acceptable scrap rate per work center
- Real-time quality deviation alerts on operator tablets
- Supervisor override PIN for critical quality halts
Complete Work Center Configuration
Every machine on your floor has unique physics: different speeds, different costs, different tolerances, different changeover penalties. Generic ERPs treat them identically and destroy your planning accuracy. Naologic lets you model the exact operational fingerprint of every single work center - from barcode prefix configurations for machine-level traceability to directional changeover matrices that know going from White resin to Black takes 10 minutes, but Black to White takes 2 hours.

Production Floor Infrastructure
Work Sites Organize machines by physical building or geographic zone. Run macro-efficiency reports comparing the output of the Texas Plant against the Ohio Plant with absolute clarity. Filter dashboards and scheduling timelines by facility instantly.
Explore Work Sites ›Work Shifts Define exact organizational shifts - Day, Night, Weekend. Every scrap log and output metric is permanently tied to the active shift. Run comparative analytics to mathematically prove which team delivers the highest yield.
Explore Work Shifts ›Downtime Logging When a machine breaks, operators log downtime directly from their tablet with a mandatory reason code. The system injects a maintenance block into the master Gantt chart, preventing new jobs from being routed to the dead machine.
Explore Downtime ›Production Transfers
When You Need to Steal Parts from Peter, Do It On the Books
Rush orders create triage scenarios. A high-priority job is short on sub-assemblies, and the floor manager physically pulls parts from a lower-priority order to keep the line moving. If the software is not updated, the second order fails days later due to phantom inventory the system still thinks exists. Naologic formalizes this reality with Production Transfers: execute a documented reallocation of WIP materials between active manufacturing orders, with paired inventory adjustments and mandatory transfer reason notes appended to both audit logs.
Competitive Analysis
"Production Planning That Matches Your Complexity
Legacy ERPs were built for simple discrete assembly. They track "1 screw, 1 bracket" and call it a Bill of Materials. When your reality involves fractional chemical consumption, parallel sub-assembly routing, directional changeover penalties, and customer-owned tooling validation, these systems collapse. Naologic was built from day one to handle the full spectrum of manufacturing complexity.
