Production & Planning

From an order list to a roast list, and back again.

Available in RoastConsole Cloud on Web. The shared record. Roasts, profiles, green lots, and production orders kept in sync, with roasted output becoming inventory you can work with.

The day, sequenced before the first charge

Roast runs assigned to a profile and a machine, laid out against the day rather than held in someone's head.

Capacity is part of the plan

Scheduling accounts for machine availability per site, so a plan reflects what the floor can actually run.
