Antera’s Production Calendar gives your team a visual, centralized way to schedule and manage production across your operation. See what needs to be produced, when it is scheduled, where it is being produced, and what needs attention—all from one connected calendar.
With flexible drag-and-drop scheduling, production managers can quickly adjust jobs as priorities change, helping your team respond to rush orders, delays, capacity issues, and changing customer requirements without rebuilding the schedule.
The result is better planning, greater visibility, faster scheduling, and fewer missed deadlines.
See Your Entire Production Schedule
Get an at-a-glance view of current and upcoming production activity.
The Production Calendar makes it easy to understand what's scheduled today, what's coming next, and how work is distributed across your operation. Managers can quickly identify busy periods, available capacity, scheduling conflicts, and jobs approaching their deadlines.
Instead of relying on spreadsheets, whiteboards, or separate scheduling tools, your team works from one shared production schedule.
Drag, Drop, and Reschedule
Production schedules change constantly. Antera makes adjusting them simple.
Use drag-and-drop functionality to move scheduled work directly on the calendar. When priorities change, authorized users can quickly reposition jobs instead of manually rebuilding schedules.
Drag-and-drop scheduling makes it easier to respond to:
✓ Rush orders
✓ Changing customer deadlines
✓ Equipment availability
✓ Staffing changes
✓ Material or product delays
✓ Production bottlenecks
✓ Changes in workload or capacity
Your production schedule stays flexible without becoming difficult to manage.
Schedule Work Around Your Operation
Every production environment is different.
Use the calendar to organize work around your production resources, departments, equipment, processes, and schedules. This gives managers a clearer picture of where work is assigned and where additional capacity may be available.
Antera can help organize production activities, including embroidery, screen printing, digital printing, engraving, signage, finishing, assembly, kitting, and other processes.
Keep Production Connected to the Order
A production calendar shouldn't be disconnected from the order it represents.
Antera keeps production activity connected to the underlying order and workflow, giving employees access to the information surrounding the job.
Your team can quickly understand what needs to be produced, who it's for, when it's due, and where it stands without maintaining the same information in multiple systems.
Identify Bottlenecks Before They Become Problems
A visual production schedule makes potential problems easier to spot.
Managers can identify overloaded periods, scheduling conflicts, approaching deadlines, and capacity constraints before they result in missed customer commitments.
When something changes, drag-and-drop scheduling makes it easy to reorganize work and immediately see the impact on the rest of the schedule.
Balance Workloads and Capacity
Knowing that a job is scheduled isn't enough. Managers also need to understand how work is distributed.
The Production Calendar provides greater visibility into upcoming workloads so your team can make better decisions about staffing, equipment utilization, production assignments, outsourcing, and scheduling.
When one resource becomes overloaded, work can be adjusted to help keep production moving efficiently.
Manage Priorities and Deadlines
Not every production job has the same priority.
Keep production dates and customer commitments visible so your team knows which jobs need attention first. When a rush order arrives or priorities change, managers can quickly adjust the schedule to reflect the new requirements.
Instead of relying on employees to remember what's most important, the schedule provides a shared visual view of production priorities.
Keep Every Department Informed
Production affects nearly every part of your operation.
Sales needs to know whether the customer’s order is on schedule.
Purchasing and Receiving need to ensure products and materials are available.
Artwork needs to complete required proofs and approvals.
Production needs complete instructions and realistic schedules.
Shipping needs to know when finished goods will be ready.
By connecting production scheduling with the rest of Antera, your organization gets better visibility into the entire process.
Plan Ahead Instead of Reacting
The Production Calendar isn't just about managing today's jobs.
Managers can look ahead to understand future workloads and prepare for upcoming demand. Better visibility allows your team to plan staffing, equipment usage, materials, outsourcing, and other resources before capacity becomes a problem.
That helps move production management from reactive scheduling to proactive planning.
