Keep every spindle on the right job
Your machines make money when they're cutting — not when they're waiting on a plan. CoreScheduler schedules CNC machines, operators, and tooling together on one live grid, so setups line up, sequences hold, and due dates stick.

How CoreScheduler fits
Machines and people, scheduled together
Multi-resource tasks book the mill, the machinist, and the fixture as one unit — no more discovering at 6 a.m. that the machine is free but the operator isn't.
Maintenance-aware scheduling
Non-operational windows for planned maintenance block bookings automatically, and the rest of the week re-fits around them.
Scan the traveler, see the task
Barcode and QR scanning connects the paper on the floor to the live schedule — operators scan and go.
Frequently asked questions
Can I schedule by machine group — mills, lathes, EDM?
Yes. Resource categories let you organize the grid by machine group, see load per group, and schedule at the group or individual-machine level.
How do operators see their queue?
On any device — a shop-floor tablet, a shared monitor, or their phone. The queue updates live as the schedule changes, and barcode scanning jumps straight to the right task.
What happens when a machine goes down unexpectedly?
Mark the machine unavailable and its work is immediately visible as unplaced. Drag jobs onto alternate machines or auto-schedule the affected work, and the whole shop sees the recovery plan in real time.
