About Eyelit APS is an advanced planning and scheduling solution that uses AI and patented optimization algorithms to generate efficient, real-time production schedules for regulated discrete manufacturers. It integrates seamlessly with existing ERP and MES systems, providing a unified view of operations instead of disconnected data. The platform supports complex constraint handling, machine capacity, tooling changeovers, labor availability, material lead times, along with dynamic resource allocation and scenario analysis, letting teams model the impact of a rush order or supply disruption before committing to a plan. This enables manufacturers to respond swiftly to changes in demand and supply. By optimizing how production is sequenced and resourced, Eyelit APS enhances throughput, reduces lead times, and improves on-time delivery.	About Drive plant floor efficiency with high-resolution visibility, error-proofed control, and a real-time production ecosystem that is connected to your ERP—by design. ERP systems weren’t designed for manufacturing execution. Plant floor information available post-production—or “back-flushed”—doesn’t help you control output at the manufacturing moment. Plex’s Manufacturing Execution Suite (Plex MES) gives you real-time production management so you have up-to-the-second manufacturing data—for end-to-end visibility and closed-loop control. Flexible, configurable, cloud-native solution for ease of deployment, standardization and integration to complement your corporate ERP system. Suite of unified shop floor applications on a common database to eliminate the risk of disruptions or errors due to inter-application integrations. Paperless, easy to use, operator control to increase productivity, and eliminate manual process errors.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros No need major enhancements, in general our set up since the adoption we covered the most of the features needed. This solution has multiple configurable features that can adopt to business needs, and it is flexible to config changes. Cons When it is needed, it could take some time to get any enhancement. Sometimes more training and more support is needed.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Tons of features. Customizable for most process needs. Can be customized to add functionality or integrate with other systems. Very stable. Outside of scheduled outages for updates, we've had almost no downtime in the last couple years. Cons Sometimes too many features. Can be difficult to configure for your environment and processes. Some settings conflict with others and make it impossible to get setup exactly the way you want it. Support can be hit and miss. If something has to go to development to fix, it can take years. Yes, we have some tickets that have been open for years. Pricing model is interesting and a little annoying for our business. Leads us to pay more for this ERP solution when our raw material prices go up.
