Manufacturers are constantly challenged to do more with the teams they already have—while still finding ways to reduce costs. Instead of placing added pressure on workers or reducing headcount, organizations are turning to smart technology to streamline processes, eliminate low-value tasks, and free people to focus on the work that truly matters. Autodesk software, combined with IMAGINiT’s solutions, empowers manufacturers to increase output, improve accuracy, and reduce operational friction without sacrificing the human expertise that keeps production running.
1. Reduce Waste with Generative Design AI
The Autodesk Fusion Platform is a powerhouse for manufacturers, keeping design, engineering, and production teams aligned. It connects people, processes, and data across the enterprise—and includes robust AI capabilities such as generative design. By leveraging AI, manufacturers can create more cost-conscious, material-efficient designs without sacrificing quality.
And generative design is just one example. The Fusion Platform does a lot more.
2. Identify Bottlenecks and Inefficiencies with FlexSim
Trial-and-error and spreadsheets can only take you so far when optimizing production workflows. FlexSim is the tool manufacturers have always needed—allowing teams to identify bottlenecks before they happen and simulate solutions in a virtual sandbox before making changes on the shop floor. Visualize factory layouts, explore resource allocation, test different scenarios, and identify the most efficient operational strategies without disrupting existing operations.
Supported by IMAGINiT’s simulation specialists, organizations can make informed decisions that positively impact their bottom line.
3. Eliminate Manual Paperwork with IMAGINiT FormsConnected
Frontline teams shouldn’t be bogged down by piles of paper forms, manual data entry, or slow approval cycles. IMAGINiT FormsConnected digitizes inspections, reports, and checklists—allowing workers to capture photos, notes, and signatures directly from any device, online or offline. This reduces busywork, improves data accuracy, and gives teams more time to focus on production, quality, and customer needs.
4. Strengthen Safety & Compliance with SiteDocs
Poor safety practices can cost more than downtime or fines—they can cost lives. Every manufacturer shares the responsibility of ensuring every worker goes home safely at the end of the day. While managing safety can feel overwhelming, SiteDocs simplifies the process by centralizing safety forms, analytics, and documentation within a single digital platform.
With data-driven insights from SiteDocs Analytics, organizations can pinpoint risks, reduce incidents, and stay audit-ready—all while freeing personnel from manual, repetitive, and often inaccurate paperwork.
The Bottom Line
Manufacturers don’t need to work harder—they need systems that work smarter. As the industry evolves, so does the technology that supports it. IMAGINiT’s experts can help you evaluate your existing workflows, identify disconnects, and implement integrated solutions that align with your goals and initiatives.
