Looking for a Scheduling Application with MODBUS Addressing

I have several customers who would like to create schedules for their
manufacturing processes. I can create an application with standard PLC logic and an HMI or a SCADA app, but with those there are often issues with clock synchronization and accuracy (and having time to create the app). It would be nice to find a scheduling app that is just for scheduling and simple for the customer to use. Does anyone know of an application (web based is preferable) with a simple time, date, and device user interface (similar to something you would use for lighting control) that operates with MODBUS? Using MODBUS would make it easier to interface with various manufacturer's PLC's. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
 
We have a controller with the ability to schedule tasks. It is web browser (Chrome) configurable. Some customer have used it to control building lighting, notification alerts (warning bells for breaks), and other calendar based applications. The device is a Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU master and can be polled via Modbus TCP from your SCADA or HMI to show status. You can insert one IO board into the module for low IO count applications or you can connect slave devices which can be your IO depending on your IO count.

I would recommend you an affordable and user-friendly cloud-based solution for MODBUS monitoring and control that I have been installing in some industry customers. You can customize dashboards, create devices scheduling, automated rules, reports, notifications with different access levels. They have now different solutions and you can choose the best for your needs.
