// 01 — Overview
What is Factory Simulation Engineer?
Manufacturing and production solutions for connecting design data with machining, inspection, shop-floor programming, lean execution, factory planning, and robotics.
Factory Simulation Engineer is a SOLIDWORKS manufacturing role that helps companies create full-scale digital replicas of their factories. These virtual factory models allow teams to test new layouts, evaluate production scenarios, calculate throughput, and understand the impact of changes before applying them in the real world. It helps manufacturing engineers, plant managers, and production teams plan factory layouts with better confidence. Instead of physically moving equipment or testing changes on the shop floor, teams can simulate operations virtually, identify bottlenecks, improve material flow, and make better decisions earlier.
Use this solution to move from engineering data to production workflows with better accuracy and control. Khodiyar Infotech supports software selection, implementation, training, and manufacturing workflow guidance.
