Discover how digital factories powered by Autodesk are advancing sustainability in manufacturing.
The manufacturing industry as a whole is currently undergoing a seismic transformation heavily influenced by the need for greater efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. Central to this shift is the concept of the digital factory—a fully integrated environment where digital tools and data enable seamless design, production, and monitoring processes. Through employing advanced technologies and data-driven processes, these fully integrated environments streamline workflows, minimize waste, and optimize energy usage.
At its core, the digital factory leverages cutting-edge technologies such as digital twins, IoT-enabled machinery, advanced data analytics to optimize production.
Ultimately, these technologies work in concert to create a more sustainable manufacturing ecosystem that balances productivity with environmental responsibility.
The majority of a factory’s lifetime costs are incurred during operation, but crucial information often ends up on paper, physically stored away in boxes. Fusion Operations is a shop floor management software that helps manufacturing businesses connect their data in the cloud, enabling them to analyze and manage operations at every stage.
Fusion Operations provides real-time data to optimize scheduling, inventory, and quality.
Businesses can track real-time manufacturing analytics, including productivity and material quantities, to significantly reduce paper trails and minimize material waste, leading to a more efficient and sustainable operation.
FlexSim is a user-friendly 3D discrete event simulation software with advanced capabilities. It simplifies the modeling of production and people movement processes through drag-and-drop workflows. With a built-in scenario manager, users can run experiments, make accurate predictions, and optimize operations. FlexSim includes modules for conveyor systems, AGVs, warehousing, supply chain, healthcare, and more.
Easy-to-use 3D simulation modeling and analysis software with high-end capabilities. Predict and optimize production processes with realistic 3D visuals and data-driven scenarios.
It creates data-driven, evidence-based models that combine detailed process steps, accurate production data, and realistic 3D visuals to engage stakeholders. FlexSim provides a risk-free virtual environment to validate designs, plan for unfamiliar conditions, and discover optimal solutions, significantly reducing the time needed to build accurate simulation models.
Digital factories will remain essential in shaping a greener, more efficient future for manufacturing. With tools like Autodesk Fusion Operations, manufacturers have the resources necessary to build sustainable systems that meet the demands of modern production.
