Autodesk Factory Design Utilities is used to design your factory layout in 2D or in 3D. Through integrations with other Autodesk software, Factory Design Utilities allows you to validate conceptual factory layouts, collaborate with stakeholders to stay on time during the installation and commissioning of your equipment, and run simulations of your factory to optimize efficiency and increase throughput.
Designers and engineers use Autodesk Factory Design Utilities to create a digital representation of their factory layout.
Factory Design Utilities provides the flexibility to create and edit your factory layouts in 2D or 3D using AutoCAD or Inventor. Choose from a library of thousands of factory assets to drag into your design. Optimize your layout using material flow analysis tools, check for interferences, and schedule the installation of the equipment without leaving the tools included in the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection.
FlexSim is Autodesk’s 3D discrete event simulation software, and it can be used to model the operational processes in your proposed factory layout. You can run experiments to test your design under different conditions and find the optimal configuration of processes, staff, and resources. Use FlexSim to predict if your throughput will be on target before you build or re-tool your factory.
Factory Design Utilities runs on Microsoft® Windows® 11 and 10. See Factory Design Utilities system requirements for details.
