Factory Layout

[chrisDwhite]

We currently enjoy the use of an education subscription package (North West Kent College), an assignment has arisen involving the layout of conveyors in a process plant simulation, any ideas how we can achieve this? Chris.

Hi,

They are planning on making the 2014 Factory Design Suite available to students and educators, but I don't know when it will be released.

It is pretty straightforward to create a conveyor layout in inventor or AutoCAD. If you don't want to create your own models, you should be able to find conveyor models on various manufacturer and CAD websites.

I might add that the Factory Design Suite comes with

many conveors out of the box already and using them

to lay out a process plant surely is possible. And there

are numerous cloud assets you can put to good use too.

If you need info in general, feel free to conact me. I did

many a lot of conveyors for our factory library and- even

if I can´t share them with you- can probably give you ad-

vice.

Oh and Loren is right, TGW for example, an Austrian firm

with a great website, offers many videos and pictures of

plants and machinery, as well as some technical data.

They surely will give you a good impression.

And I certainly can recommend http://www.us.viastore.com/,

it´s the firm I am working for. I did not mean to advertise ;).

Kind regards

Daniel
