RotoScheduler in your browser
The web demo at rotoscheduler.app opens a sample factory with a two-week plan already made. Read it by week or by day, move a run and undo it, and keep your plan as a file.
Introduction to RotoScheduler
10 short tours. Each shows one part of RotoScheduler on its sample factory: the time axis, zooming and panning, the jobs, a move, the factory inputs, the files, and the web demo you can try at rotoscheduler.app. Each is also on the page of its subject in the RotoScheduler manual.

Reading the board
Read the same two-week plan at Week and Day: machines, arms, mold runs, and the line showing parts planned and work still waiting.
1:23
Day, Week, Month: zoom and pan the plan
Zoom the board with presets, the slider, keys and Ctrl+wheel; pan the plan and read heating, cooling and service on RM-4's three loaded arms.
0:44
Jobs and what needs you
Read the sample jobs, their planned quantities and due dates, then use Attention to find unmet and deferred work.
0:59
Minimum, wanted and maximum
Give a job the fewest pieces it must have, the number wanted and the most it may count toward; read Minimum met and the count below target; plan in starts when a mold's good share is below a hundred.
0:50
The machines an order may run on
Tick the machines an order may run on, apply, and see the plan keep to the list on the board, in a hand assignment and in a move.
0:45
Each order's start-by day
Read the Start by row on every job card: the latest day an order can start and still make its due date, and what the row does and does not promise.
0:43
A starting point, then your moves
Check the experimental first plan, move a mold run to a green destination, then undo and redo your move.
0:40
Telling the scheduler about your factory
Describe machines, arms, working dates and run timing; see closed days, an unavailable arm, and the planned time of a run.
0:47
Saving, versions, and the sheet
Save and reopen the plan, keep labelled versions, and export a week workbook or a machine-day CSV for the shop floor.
