Plan, Design, Visualise, and Gain Control Over Your Factory LayoutThe MPDS4 FACTORY LAYOUT software combines the best of 2D industrial layout capabilities with the3D world of services and space management, and makes it easy to use existing plans and equipmentmodels. It is ideal for plant designers and providers; for system integrators who sell complete turnkeymaterials handling solutions; and for Owner/Operators who maintain and optimise large processinstallations, such as food factories or pharmaceutical plants.

Designers can work on complete production or process facilities in 2D or 3D, automatically updatingchanges between both environments. Users can plan a new factory or obtain a 3D lifecycle model oftheir existing installation by easily designing or importing building layouts, then quickly creating 3Dfactory buildings based on 2D floor plans. Equipment is loaded from extensive parametric catalogs andconnected dynamically in the 3D world, or via intelligent symbols in the 2D layout. MPDS4 FACTORYLAYOUT offers a highly productive, integrated approach, from conceptual design through to build ormodification order. It allows designers to move efficiently between the enquiry, pre-sales layout, projectconfiguration, installation visualisation and detailed design stages, always ready to make drasticchanges quickly. That means significantly reducing project lead times and costs, while improving designquality.

Factory Modelling ServicesWith the factory modelling servicesoffered by CAD Schroer,Owner/Operators can quickly obtaina 3D lifecycle model of their existinginstallation and gain control over theirlayout, crucial for planning changes.

We can model your factory based onany designs you supply - paperdrawings, 2D CAD files, or 3Dmachinery models from suppliers. Weflag up inconsistencies along the way,and where no up-to-date drawingsexist, we can arrange laser scanningof your factory, gaining the data weneed to create a 2D layout and 3Dmodel.

Conceptual Layouts in 2D & 3DMPDS4 FACTORY LAYOUT allowsdesigners to work in the 2D layout or3D spatial design environment, withauto-update between the two. Userscan create 2D concept designs fromscratch, or import DXF/DWG data orscanned paper drawings to create theinitial layout. The system’s powertools make it quick and easy to addand dynamically edit geometry andattributes to reflect current ideas.Switching to 3D is easy: Floor heighttexts determine spot heights across asite or building, and adding heightattributes to selected wall geometryautomatically generates a 3Dbuilding model. Designers can selectand automatically model intelligentarchitectural components, such asdoors and windows, with detailedcontrol over their behaviour.

Quality AssuranceMPDS4 FACTORY LAYOUT drives upproject quality by offering integratedconsistency checking, as well asinterference checking for detectingclashes between components, orobstructions in clearance spaces.

3D Walk-through VisualisationThe optional MPDS4 ENGINEERINGREVIEW offers 3D plant fly-throughsand realistic design reviews, ideal forcustomer presentations. MPDS4 canalso export e-mailable factory designsfor stakeholders using the separateMPDS4 REVIEW software for walk-through reviews and annotations.

Downstream DataMPDS4 automatically generatesBOMs, parts lists, reports and fullydimensioned drawings directly fromthe factory design.

Catalog-driven DesignMPDS4’s customisable libraries ofstandard 3D parametric catalogcomponents support highly productiverules-driven, standard-compliant,accurate design. Users specify, placeand auto-route components, which areautomatically modelled in 3D.

The FACTORY LAYOUT packageincludes an extensive library ofmechanical handling components,such as conveyors, robots and fork lifttrucks, making it quick and easy tocreate complete processing lines in 2Dor 3D. Libraries of 3D Steel, Piping,HVAC, Ducting and Electrical Designcomponents can be added asrequired.

MPDS4 Benefits Overview

Increases design productivityShortens design timesIncreases competitiveness withimpressive pre-sales visualisationCuts project costs and lead timesPrevents expensive errorsEnsures standards complianceImproves understandingand project communicationProvides accurate projectdocumentationSupports end-to-end integrationProvides technical andstrategic flexibilityIs easy to install and learnIs easy to administer
