Tecnomatix FactoryCAD is a facility layout application that gives you everything you need to create detailed, intelligent warehouse models.

Based on AutoCAD, instead of having to draw lines, arcs, and circles, FactoryCAD allows you to work with “smart objects” that represent virtually all the resources used in a Warehouse, from floor and overhead conveyors, mezzanines and cranes to material handling containers and operators. With these objects, you can “snap” together a layout model without wasting time drawing the equipment.

Factory FLOW:

FactoryFLOW enables you to optimise your warehouse layout based on material flow distances, MHE Utilisation, traffic Congestion and cost.

For operators worldwide, more efficient warehouse layouts directly result in reduced material handling, improved product quality, and increased profits. FactoryFLOW’s layout evaluation tools model the effect of layout changes before undertaking the risk and expense of physically reworking inefficient layouts. And optimised warehouse designs bring warehouse’s online faster, compress time to launch, and improve production efficiency. Customer testimonials show that users have recovered their investment in software and training in the first year, and often in the first study.

FactoryFLOW is a graphical material handling analysis system that enables engineers to optimise layouts based on material flow distances, frequency, and costs. Warehouse layouts are analysed by using part routing information, material storage needs, material handling equipment specifications, and part packaging (containerisation) information.
