Design and visualise production-line layouts in NX
Line Designer is a production-layout solution for manufacturing engineers that lets you design and visualise production lines directly within Siemens NX. Tight integration with the Siemens Digital Industries Software platform links the layout to manufacturing planning, so you can oversee the whole process — detailing each production step and managing individual resources such as a robot or a fixture. Using parametric resources tied to the manufacturing plan, you can run precise impact analyses and drive efficient change management.
Outline the production concept in NX
The parametric engine in NX handles manufacturing components efficiently — change the size of a component or alter the layout, and related components update automatically.
Visual reporting and documentation
Line Designer pulls a layout’s PLM data directly from Teamcenter, surfacing details for each component such as type, design changes, suppliers, investment cost and build dates.
