Description
This new era of technology is driving a lot of innovation in all aspects of design. All product manufacturers are embracing innovation and new technology in order to maintain or advance their current production cycles. But, incorporating new technology and innovative manufacturing practices requires a solid plan, not a wild guess. The path to innovation must start with a thorough analysis of your current process. It is not enough to say, ‘the process is inefficient,” or “new tech will solve our problems.” It is critical to properly outline and identify bottlenecks or over- and under-utilized equipment and practices. Once the process is properly defined, organizations can move beyond reaction-based decision making to predictive-based planning. In this class, we’ll demonstrate how the current Factory Design Utilities may be enhanced with ProModel Process Simulator.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to compile existing process information through empirical evidence and existing sensor data
- Learn how to develop simulations of a process utilizing ProModel Process Simulator integrated with the Factory Utilities
- Learn about process bottlenecks and deficiencies, and generate “what if” scenarios that offer optimization for the process
- Learn how to use a process simulation to make predictive plans for process innovation and technology enhancements

Charles BelcherRusty Belcher is a manufacturing application expert and senior consultant with IMAGINiT Technologies. He provides implementation, training, and support services for all Autodesk, Inc. manufacturing products. Rusty specializes in integrating 3D design practices into manufacturing production environments. He also works with reality capture laser scanning and photogrammetry to document real-world objects, translating them into viable 3D CAD designs. As an outstanding instructor and mentor, Rusty consistently receives excellent reviews for his impact at IMAGINiT Technologies. Rusty began his career as a structural steel fitter at Newport News Shipbuilding. He is a graduate of the Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School and worked in the shipyard's Mold Loft Engineering Division. Since joining IMAGINiT Technologies in 2000, Rusty has been dedicated to supporting the Autodesk Manufacturing solutions. In recent years, his primary focus has been on the Autodesk Factory Design Utilities. Rusty collaborated directly with Autodesk to develop and author the original Factory Design Suite software training courseware and has created numerous tips and tutorial videos available on the Factory Design Suite software’s YouTube channel. He is also a regular presenter at the acclaimed Autodesk University, where he frequently receives outstanding reviews.- DRDavid ReaumeWith over three decades of experience in the manufacturing industry, my roles and responsibilities within multiple corporations have spanned many areas of the industry. I have served as Product Manager, User Experience Designer, Product Owner, R&D Specialist, Solutions Architect, Application Engineer, PLM Services Manager, Director of Software Development, and Engineering/Manufacturing Process Improvement Specialist. I co-founded Logimetrix, the successful start-up that developed iLogic technology for Inventor and was acquired by Autodesk in 2008. With my comprehensive knowledge of diverse technologies and systems, including design automation, tooling, software development, and technology platforms, I am passionate about creating great products and bring an acute problem-solving mentality to all of my work along with an ever-present commitment to and empathy for the end user, always fiercely advocating for the customer.
