Skody AI

Skody AI provides real-time production scheduling and operational dashboards for CNC and discrete manufacturing shops. Traditional ERP schedules break the moment reality changes. Machines stop, jobs move, priorities shift. Skody continuously recalculates the production schedule using live ERP data and shop-floor signals, keeping plans aligned with reality. The platform integrates with systems like ProShop, Acumatica, SYSPRO, Sage, and QuickBooks to generate optimized schedules and real-time operational visibility. Skody dashboards show bottlenecks before they happen — machine utilization, bottleneck load, on-time delivery risk, and WIP. The result is smoother production flow, higher machine utilization, lower WIP, and more reliable on-time delivery. Skody acts as the factory’s GPS for production, continuously deciding what should run next.
