Production planning
Plan from sales demand and create work orders and material requests from a submitted production plan.
Back to use cases
Planning, execution and quality intelligence
Smart Manufacturing
Run production on ERPNext work orders, BOMs, job cards and inspections while agents monitor constraints, anomalies and schedule risk across the shop floor.

Solution architecture
ERPNext at the core. Agents where they matter.
ERPNext structures production around bills of materials, operations, workstations, production plans, work orders and job cards. Material movement, work in progress and finished goods stay connected to the production record.
Calrian agents add continuous observation across ERP records and machine signals. They can flag schedule drift, explain output variance and prepare corrective work without bypassing the supervisor or ERPNext submission controls.
Designed for accountable autonomy. Agents observe, reason and prepare actions; permissions, approval workflows and human override determine what can execute.
ERP foundation
Operational records your team can trust
Work-order execution
Reserve raw material, track transfers to work in progress and record finished production against a BOM.
Job cards and workstations
Organise shop-floor operations by workstation with instructions, timing and execution records.
Quality inspection
Apply numeric, value-based or formula-based acceptance criteria to incoming, outgoing and in-process checks.
Agentic workflows
Agents that work inside the control plane
Production planner agent
Evaluates demand, capacity and material readiness to highlight plans likely to miss their target.
Creates proposals; planners release production.
Anomaly agent
Correlates job-card output with equipment and sensor readings to explain emerging production variance.
Separates observation, evidence and confidence.
Quality agent
Prioritises inspections and recommends containment when readings or defect patterns move outside expected bounds.
Inspectors retain acceptance and override authority.
How it operates
From signal to governed action
01
Plan
Translate demand and BOM requirements into a feasible production plan.
02
Release
Create approved work orders, material transfers and job-card operations.
03
Observe
Combine operator updates, inspection results and machine signals in real time.
04
Correct
Escalate constraints or prepare maintenance, quality and rescheduling actions for review.
Expected impact
A clearer operating state
Fewer hidden production constraints
Faster variance investigation
Connected quality evidence
More reliable production plans

Build this workflow around your operation.
Start with one high-value process, connect the ERPNext records and operational signals, then define exactly where agents may recommend, prepare or act.
