Plant Modelling

FactoryCAD makes layout creation, modification, and visualisation easier and faster, design flaws and issues can be identified and eliminated earlier in the design process, prior to physically building or modifying the factory. Re-using the layout data in other related applications saves time, allows more design iterations to be assessed, and makes the layout information more valuable. Overall, getting factories and logistics facilities into production sooner with fewer last minute modifications provides significant financial benefits.

Major Capabilities

View 3D models with non-CAD viewers:
Technology has been embedded into the smart objects allowing simple viewers such as Factory View, a Tecnomatix product; Vis Mockup, a Teamcenter™ product; Volo View, VIZ 4 (3D StudioVis), and many others to view the factory models.

Conveyor objects:
All kinds of conveyors are available for use from package conveyors like belt conveyors, v-belt driven live roller conveyors, gravity roller conveyors, structure track conveyors, palletized assembly conveyors to highly sophisticated conveyors like automotive floor conveyors, cross transfers, lift systems, chain-on-edge, and power and free conveyors.

Robot objects:
Many highly detailed models of popular robots such as ABB, Fanuc, Kuka and Kawasaki are available as objects. With built-in forward kinematics, you can articulate these robots in any position desired.

Additional material handling objects:
You will find a comprehensive list of material handling devices ranging from bridge cranes and jib cranes to lift tables and turn tables for containers.
