Plan it. Make it.
Move it. Trace it.

It is one system that connects the plan, the material, the work order, the inspection and the cost. Conventional point solutions leave the schedule in one system, the shop floor in another and the ledger in a third, so the shop floor discovers a problem that finance already priced. Athena runs all of them on one data model.

Job management for make-to-order, make-to-stock and assembly; a MES with bill of materials and routing; work order management and shop floor control; and quality control performed at the operation rather than after the batch, with results linked to the heat or lot number.

Yes. Demand forecasting and smart demand planning feed master production scheduling, which produces the material requirements plan. Capacity is finite, so the schedule reflects the work centres you actually have, and both the MPS and the MRP are visible and adjustable in the same place.

Inspection results are captured at the operation and tied to the lot, heat number and serial. A non-conformity automatically contains the affected work orders and holds despatch, and the genealogy — which lots went into which assembly, which assembly went into which despatch — is available immediately for a warranty claim or a recall.

Yes. Multi-organisation and multi-currency are supported, so plants run the same process and the same definitions while retaining local costing, local statutory reporting and local planning. The agentic layer sees the whole network, which is how it finds the transfer or the alternate source that a single-site view would miss.

Material issues, labour bookings, work order receipts and despatches generate the accounting entries directly, so the general ledger is a consequence of the transaction rather than a separate exercise. Job cost and variance are computed on the same work order, giving finance a booked cost it can trust while the job is still open.

It carries the installed base: reliability management, assets, activities, work orders, tool control and calibrations, asset location mapping and preventive maintenance tracking. For a manufacturer this is what turns an after-sales obligation into a managed programme rather than a fire drill.

Employee records, payroll, leave and time and attendance are part of the same suite, and labour is booked against the work order rather than a separate timesheet. That means capacity planning is built on real availability, and job cost includes the labour that actually produced it.

Athena deploys goal-driven agents running a continuous sense–reason–plan–act–learn loop over live plant data. They sense schedule, stock, quality and cost exceptions; reason about the real driver — a constraint, a lot, a supplier, a routing — rather than reporting the number alone; plan the cheapest correction; and act by re-levelling the schedule, raising purchase orders, containing lots or re-forecasting job cost. Every action is permissioned, logged and reversible.

Manufacturing, logistics, oil and gas, aviation, construction, power and energy, maintenance, trading and retail, shipping, healthcare, telecoms and supply chain. In each case the manufacturing core is configured to that sector's definitions, routings and reporting rather than replaced with a vertical product.

Yes. On-premise, private cloud or sovereign cloud region. This matters where process know-how, cost build-ups and supplier data are commercially sensitive, and the agentic layer runs inside the same deployment, against your own data, under your own permission model.
