visTABLE - Factory Planning Software
visTABLE software is a versatile tool designed for intuitive factory planning, offering an accessible interface that eliminates the need for CAD expertise. Users can create complex layouts swiftly with drag-and-drop functionality, optimizing material flow, space usage, and logistics costs. The software provides real-time analysis and validation of layout modifications, ensuring efficient material routing and space management. With a 3D library of over 2700 models covering various domains such as manufacturing, transport, and warehousing, visTABLE® simplifies communication with stakeholders through 3D visualization. It integrates seamlessly with existing ERP data and Excel, allowing for comprehensive value stream mapping. By offering a standardized approach to decision-making, visTABLE® enhances teamwork and process optimization across factory layouts, making it an essential tool for industrial engineers looking to streamline operational procedures and resource management.
KPIs dispel all fears of wrong decisions
All modifications to material flow, floorspace or safety clearances are validated immediately by the software. The unique linking of processes and layout serves to optimize your procedures and reduce logistics costs.
3D visualization simplifies communication with superiors and customers
Part of visTABLE® is a 3D library that comprises 2700+ scalable models from the areas Building, Manufacturing Assembly, Personnel, Transport means, Warehouse, Robot, Cranes, Areas, Outdoor area, and many more. Import CAD Data to extend your library.
Save space, without time-consuming manual determination
Comparisons of layout variants and report creation for the controlling department are rendered significantly easier. The evaluation is performed by the assignment of individual area types (e.g. transport route, warehouse, assembly, manufacturing, etc.).
Integration and mapping of your value streams in the layout
ERP data (e.g. work plans, BOMs) are integrated via an interface to Excel. Furthermore, value stream mapping is an excellent database for linking with the layout. Both can be edited further in visTABLE® interactively.
Replace annoying project conflicts with perfect teamwork
The software makes it easy for you to respond to changes. Use KPIs to make well-founded decisions! Give your employees opportunities to tackle new challenges quickly and successfully. visTABLE®touch standardizes your decision-making processes. And that leaves you with more time for growth and your customers.

You have the most varied plans and list
stored in only partially structured form, either on paper or on data carriers, and thus not accessible and legible for all users and at all times.
You have difficulty keeping these data up to date
CAD drawings, Excel spreadsheets, inventory lists and floor plans are continually in need of troublesome manual updating, because no-one knows how and in which form the results of internal moves are best documented.
You have problems in submitting the desired evaluations in good time
Your superiors or customers demand meaningful data as the basis for their decisions, for example floor space use and distribution, unused space, transport costs or conversion plans.
All your colleagues work with other tools and use self-made solutions
This constantly throws up questions as to how the information is to be interpreted, whether it is based on valid data, and whether it is still current and thus reliable.
You have been using tools which are actually not suited for the purpose
PowerPoint, Visio, Paint or SketchUp have already been used in the past, but all failed to deliver the required scope of answers to your fundamental questions. In some cases, the layouts are not to scale, and the material flows are drawn freehand – if at all. Your logistics specialists plan the supplying of containers or picking activities, but then document their implementation in the form of sketches or coarse drawings.
You have no or only a few CAD experts in your team
You are thus unable to enter modifications yourself. To keep drawings up to date, you must constantly seek out the corresponding experts in the company, and ideas can only be developed by way of extremely time-consuming trial and error. It seems to take forever before these ideas are implemented in the layout – however good they may be.
There is nobody who deals with the topic on a permanent basis
Factory planning is either not your daily business or else you are only just beginning to standardize the processes. Perhaps because you are currently enjoying strong growth, planning a move or conversion work, integrating previous branch locations or shifting production between your different sites.
You do not know exactly which rationalization potential is possible
Your gut feeling tells you that there is always scope for improvement. As you lack suitable easy-to-use tools, however, you have always been forced to rely on this feeling. But you would much rather have sound and reliable data at your disposal, so that decisions can be made quickly and transparently for everyone concerned.
Your client requested you to submit concepts as soon as possible
You offer your services externally, advise other companies or support other departments within your own company. And you are expected to present tailored concepts and a basis for decision-making already in the very early phases.
You have always wanted to see your factory in 3D
You shy the costs for expensive and complicated simulations, and have neither the time nor the personnel capacities to constantly assign a member of staff specifically for such tasks. SMED workshops, too, become clearer and more effective with the aid of the software.
