What the trial does not do

Describes RotoScheduler 0.2.1 · checked 2026-09-14 D5

Read this before assessing a real production plan with the trial.

• The sample is a worked example for learning the board. Replace its assumptions with measured factory data before assessing a real plan.
• Parts planned are not parts produced. The trial does not record live machine output or reconcile the plan with actual production.
• Heating and cooling targets alone do not establish acceptable process limits. Read Projected, process windows unknown and closing-time warnings as unresolved timing checks.
• The phase view describes fixed-turret machines. It does not schedule independent arms competing for an oven or a cooler.
• The arm-layout viewing pane is hidden in this trial. Use the board and its timing inspector.
• 0.2 has manual assignment, movement, unscheduling, and undo and redo. Pins and freezes, extending production by resizing a run, bulk moves, copying a mounting, and editing availability on the board are not included.
• Factory and job data are entered through Factory inputs on the desktop. A general spreadsheet importer and a connection to a customer's order or shop-floor system are not included.
• Keep a named version before an experiment and a saved .json copy for work you need to keep or share.
