AnalysisExample from tool and mould making
Figures on request.
"How busy are our mills over the next four weeks?" You ask in plain words. The software shows its plan, queries your ERP and shows the query, then the utilisation with its source. Asked "where is there still room?", it shows the free hours. And what it cannot calculate, it says.
HSC mill 2 is almost full in all four weeks: 316 of 320 hours planned. 5-axis mill 2 has the most room with 136 of 320.
- 316 of 320: matches the calculation
- 136 of 320: matches the calculation
In wk 46 there is room for 30 hours on three mills: 5-axis mill 2 (52 h free), 5-axis mill 1 (38 h) and HSC mill 3 (30 h).
I can't calculate the optimal distribution. That is an optimisation task for a planning tool. I can show where capacity is free.
SELECT machine, week, shift, SUM(planned_h) * 100 / SUM(capacity_h) AS utilisationFROM erp.machine_scheduleWHERE workcentre_group = 'Mills' AND shift IN ('Early', 'Late') AND week >= DATE '2026-10-19' AND week < DATE '2026-11-16'GROUP BY machine, week, shiftORDER BY machine, week, shiftThe AI writes no query and no figure.
That is an optimisation task for a planning tool. The data shows what is planned and what is free, not which job should go where.
Get an ERP export.Build a pivot.Ask on the shop floor.Call the planner.
Just ask.
You write the question in your own words. You see the plan, the query to the ERP and where the figures come from. And the follow-up question is one line, not a new job.
Distributing optimally is an optimisation task for a planning tool. Inventing a figure would be wrong.
Calculated, not guessed.
You need to be able to trust a figure before you decide on it. That is why the software shows its working, step by step.
The same question, two ways
What actually changes for your planning. Both ways start at the same time.
Today
One question, many detours, then back to the start.
- 1Ask someone for an ERP export
- 2Wait for the export
- 3Open in Excel, build a pivot table
- 4Ask on the shop floor what is really running
- 5Call the planner to ask where there is still room
- 6Follow-up question? Back to step 1.
One answer. The next question starts again at step 1.
With AI
Ask, look, ask again.
- 1Ask the question in plain words
- 2Look at plan, query and utilisationcalculated from the ERP
- 3Ask the follow-up: "where is there room?"
- 4Look at the free hours, decide
Answered, with query and source.The next question is just one line again.
figures
Fits what you already have.
The analysis reads from the sources you already have today: your ERP (including Oracle), an SQL database, Microsoft 365, Business Central, Abacus or any system with an API.
- Tailored to your needsYour machines, your shifts, your terms, your questions.
- Hosted where you wantIn your own environment or with a provider of your choice.
- Your team decidesThe analysis shows where capacity is free. What you do with it is up to your planning.
Why Kallysoft
The figures come straight from your ERP, with the query behind them so you can check. If a question is unclear, the software asks.

Tell us about it. In a short conversation, we look at which questions you ask today and which system the answer would have to come from. No obligation, of course.
