Machine design companies must bring new designs to market in a competitive timescale, against headwinds of disruption in the supply of materials and components and the hiring (and retaining) of skilled labor. Digital transformation offers new opportunities–using connected and collaborative software, companies can increase agility to better respond to the fluctuating market.
Autodesk empowers industrial equipment manufacturers to create smarter, more reliable machinery with integrated solutions that streamline development processes and cover the entire design, validate, and manufacture lifecycle from concept to customer.
Why industrial machinery manufacturers choose Autodesk
"Depending on the complexity of the system, we cut engineering time anywhere from 30% to 80%. That makes it much easier to meet customers' needs."
Lune Riezebos, Application Specialist in Service Delivery, GEA
"To model an impeller manually took a couple of days previously. With iLogic it takes about 15 minutes."
Alex Curtin, Product Manager, FS-Elliott
"Fusion helps the innovation teams focus on what they do best and not spend as much time gathering and preparing data."
Assaad Hani, Business Analyst, Technica International
"We are not selling stock items. To stay competitive, we had to automate the process."
Frederik Mussler, Process Engineer and Executive Assistant to the CEO, Garant-Filter

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about industrial machinery manufacturing
Industrial machinery is equipment used for processing, production, and distribution in industries such as energy, liquid & gas processing, mining, construction, agriculture, forestry, manufacturing, machine tools, industrial robots, and building services equipment.
Examples of industrial machinery include:
Heavy equipment (e.g. diggers, bulldozers, and tractors)
Raw material processing machinery (e.g. furnace, forging, casting extruder)
Production line and processing machinery (e.g. injection molds, assembly machines and robots)
Material handling equipment (e.g. hand trucks, forklift trucks, conveyors, AGV's and cranes)
Building services equipment (e.g. escalators, elevators, generators, and air conditioning)
Machine tools (such as a mill, lathe or sheet metal press)
The different types of manufacturing equipment can be categorized by industry, process, size, or method of operation:
By industry: mining, construction, agriculture, manufacturing, process and power, water and waste, food, transport, pharmaceuticals
By process: safety, raw material processing, part and component manufacture, surface finishing, assembly, quality and testing, packaging, logistics and maintenance
By size: portable (less than 20kg/45lbs), light duty (less than one tonne), medium duty (1 to ten tonnes) and heavy duty (above ten tonnes)
By method of operation: manual (hand-operated), semi-automated (CNC) and fully automated (production lines and robots)
