Tech preview for factory layouts
A new free* technology preview - Factory Layout Optimization for AutoCAD software - that enables industrial engineers and layout designers to devise more efficient factory layouts for material handling, has been announced by Autodesk.
Available on Autodesk Labs, the preview enables industrial engineers and factory layout designers to take 2D layouts created using AutoCAD and define the material flow paths and stations inside the factory.
The new technology provides real-time feedback on optimising layout from a material handling standpoint, enabling more precise evaluation of multiple layout scenarios earlier in the design process.
The technology preview can be applied to new or existing 2D layout designs in AutoCAD 2011, AutoCAD Architecture 2011, AutoCAD Mechanical 2011 and Autodesk Factory Design Suite 2011 and is compatible with both the 32-bit and 64-vit versions of these programs.
Factory Layout Optimization for AutoCAD will be available on Autodesk Labs for a limited time.
