Asprova APS is production planning and scheduling software for manufacturers that need to sequence orders, plan capacity and schedule shop-floor work. Asprova Corporation offers add-on modules for master production scheduling, automatic assembly scheduling and batch processing. Its website presents the product range and lists overseas sites in China, Korea, Malaysia, America and Germany.
Asprova Corporation has its head office in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo, Japan. The company pages consulted name no parent company and no shareholders. Japan lies outside the EU and the EEA, and the public pages do not state where customer planning data is hosted or whether the software runs on premises or in the cloud. For a European manufacturer, the practical questions are where production data is stored, who can access it remotely, and which contractual safeguards apply to any transfer to Japan.
