The Benefits of Factory Planning: From 2D to 3D and Back Again Using Cloud Solutions
How can existing 2D data be reused, verified against the reality, and combined with 3D data in a holistic factory design or integration? With Autodesk Forma, Autodesk offers the possibility to realize this not just for buildings and infrastructure models, but also for new and existing factories, whereby the integration of machines and equipment as well as the use of reality data (point clouds) plays an important role. The objective is to increase the quality of plannings and integrations to a very high level to reduce or completely avoid unforeseen costs, delays or planning errors.

End-to-End Digital Manufacturing: From Capacity Planning to Production Execution and Everything In-Between
Many manufacturing companies have design engineering teams that are already "digitally mature." However, this is just a small part of the business when we consider every other function in the process of manufacturing parts. Consider that 70% of projects are still over budget or late, and up to 40% of engineering time is spent looking for the right files or information. This class will look at how customers are using tools—such as FlexSim, Autodesk Fusion Manage Extension, and Autodesk Fusion Operations—connected together to break down silos between departments, have change control over manufacturing BOMs and process definitions, and predict production issues before they arise. We will show how accurate simulation models based on real-world data can ensure projects remain on time and budget. And we’ll show how a connected data platform and change management platform can ensure data is well connected, reducing the time spent finding the right data.

Revolutionizing Product Design-Make-Use: Integrating Sensor Data and Digital Prototyping Technology
Digital Prototypings, powered by real-time data, AI, and IoT, are poised to revolutionize product design and manufacturing workflows within the design-make-use lifecycle. By enabling data-driven, predictive processes, Digital Prototypings transform how products are conceived, iterated, and validated. What if IoT sensor data embedded in a product can detect stresses during its operation, which can be derived to automatically redesign a stronger and more efficient iteration? What if IoT sensor data embedded in a 3D printer can detect defects on a layer-by-layer basis to make real-time, in-situ adjustments to prevent manufacturing failures and scrap? Questions like these are not only being asked but explored and tested at Autodesk Research. Through a performance-aided design approach, we are harnessing sensor data to drive real-time optimizations, using a flying vehicle as a cutting-edge testbed to redefine the future of design and manufacturing.

The Productivity Gap: Rethinking Skills in the Age of AI
For years, manufacturing has focused on the idea of a skills gap—the belief that we need more people trained to perform traditional tasks. But what if that assumption is limiting progress? What if the real challenge is a productivity gap—the growing difference between what skilled people are capable of and what current systems allow them to do? In this session, Al Whatmough, CEO of Toolpath, will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) and Automation, Integration, & Customization can shift the role of humans on the shop floor. Instead of replacing people, the opportunity is to empower them, automate the mundane, elevate decision making, and redesign work around human strengths. This session will spark a lively discussion about the future of manufacturing work. What roles will evolve? What skills will truly matter? And how can we build tools, workflows, and cultures that help people do their best work? Join the conversation and help shape what comes next.
