The Power of Factory Design Suite in the Palm of Your Hands

Categories: Sustainability in PD&M

Since its inception, Autodesk Factory Design Suite has helped users design and communicate the most efficient manufacturing layout by creating a digital factory model, allowing them to evaluate multiple what-if layout scenarios to determine the best solution before any equipment is installed.

But what if someone wanted to view those layouts on the go? For those customers, we have good news: the Factory Design Mobile app is here, allowing users to start or review their factory layouts directly from the field.

Now available for the iPad from the the Apple App Store, Factory Design Mobile presents a familiar 2D layout environment that allows users to conceptualize and adjust designs based on field observations and easily collaborate with partners.

In addition to being an independent conceptual design tool for factory layouts, Factory Design Mobile also supports synchronization with existing designs.  This capability lets layout engineers review their designs live on the factory floor and synchronize any changes made back to the final design in Factory Design Suite, including updating both the 2D and 3D representations of the factory.
