Software for assembly planning

  • Create assembly plans
  • Design workstations
  • Provide materials
  • Minimize walking distances
  • Digital map processes
  • Compare variants

Assembly is the heart of production and at the same time one of the biggest cost drivers when it’s not optimally planned. Long walking distances, poor line balancing, or poorly designed workstations quickly lead to inefficiency. The visTABLE® software solution supports users in assembly line planning, workstation design, and planning of material supply in the manufacturing industry. Using this software system, assembly planning is absolutely intuitive. So your work gets results much faster than in CAD software.

With visTABLE®, you can digitalize your assembly planning — from the assembly line and workstation design to the static simulation of complete processes.

Why digital assembly planning is essential:

Traditional assembly planning often relies on Excel sheets or paper plans. This leads to errors, wasted time and a lack of transparency. With visTABLE®, you design your assembly planning digitally, quickly and clearly. This helps you avoid downtime and increase productivity. 

Leave spreadsheet chaos behind and streamline your work with digital processes.

Full transparency in processes and bottlenecks

Visualize your processes instead of getting lost in spreadsheets

Compare scenarios and make data-driven decisions

Minimize walking distances with assembly planning software

  • Spaghetti diagram to reduce walking distances
  • Automated route length calculation
  • Evaluate layout changes instantly

Long travel paths in assembly lead to lost time and unnecessary costs. In Lean Management, such movements are considered classic waste because they generate non-value-adding costs in the manufacturing process. With visTABLE® these paths become visible. The integrated spaghetti diagram clearly illustrates employee movements. This way, you can identify unnecessary walking routes immediately. Each change in the layout is automatically calculated and evaluated, so you can quickly find the most effective arrangement of workstations and processes. 

Reduce your travel paths now with digital assembly planning.

Streamline assembly workstation design

  • Simple workstation design with drag & drop
  • Modular systems for round tube and industrial profile structures
  • Realistic 3D visualization including export to 3D PDF

With visTABLE®, you design lean, ergonomic workstations. Use our model catalog with typical 28 mm round tubes and aluminum profiles, or add your own assembly models. You can also easily integrate and position results from cardboard workshops or KAIZEN sessions within the workspace. This allows you to plan, visualize, and validate your workstations directly in 3D. Excessive walking distances or unused areas become immediately visible.

Design your workstation using drag & drop.

Check ergonomics using 3D reach zones

  • Ensure accessibility of materials and tools
  • Evaluate working heights for coarse and fine manual tasks
  • Identify obstacles in the workspace at an early stage

Poorly designed workstations lead to unnecessary movements and slow down assembly processes. This quickly reduces productivity, especially in assembly lines. With the 3D reach zone in visTABLE®, you can already check during the planning phase whether workstations are ergonomically designed, tools or materials are placed too far away, or working heights are unnatural. Simply position a person at a table edge to instantly identify potential ergonomic risks. This allows you to adjust workstations in time and prevent incorrect strain.

Prioritize ergonomics in assembly planning to safeguard your team and increase productivity.

Optimize ergonomics digitally

Refine container placement at the workstation

  • Digitally map material provisioning
  • Reduce walking distances and manual movements
  • Increase efficiency at the assembly workstation

With visTABLE®’s layout optimization, access frequencies are automatically analyzed based on the processes defined in your plan. Materials that are used most frequently are highlighted in red and can be positioned closer to the workstation. This enables you to design a well-organized material setup with short distances, minimal search times, and a clear assembly area free of unnecessary movements.

Evaluate your material supply digitally before your employees get frustrated!

Assembly planning involves the organization and design of assembly lines, workstations, and processes. It ensures that workflows are efficient, ergonomic, and cost-effective. With visTABLE®, you can digitalize this process and identify optimization potentials at an early stage.

Assembly planning includes, among other things, workstation design, assembly line planning, material supply, synchronization of cycle times, and ergonomic checks. visTABLE® brings all of this together in one software solution.

Generally, assembly planning is approved by production management or plant management. With visTABLE®, planners can present results visually and accelerate well-informed decision-making.

Assembly planning is part of factory structure and production planning. It includes the detailed planning of processes and typically belongs to the implementation phase. visTABLE® supports you in this with clear layouts and simulations.

Assembly planning is usually carried out by production planners, industrial engineers, or lean experts. visTABLE® simplifies their work by creating transparency and making plans quickly comparable.

You should anticipate 2-3 working days for the implementation, including the training of new users. Training content is individually tailored to your specific use case, allowing you to commence your first internal project already during the training sessions.

You can find examples of the budget you should plan for on our pricing page. For precise budget planning tailored to your specific requirements, we recommend coordinating directly with our sales department.

That’s not necessary. visTABLE® always includes all available features, so there’s no need to order or activate anything separately.

visTABLE® offers a range of practical interfaces. For example, existing 2D layouts from CAD software can be directly used as a background for layout design. If you have already planned individual assembly lines in 3D authoring software, these can not only be imported in common data formats but also arranged across different layouts. The same applies to machines in the production area. This even extends to three-dimensional building models, which can be directly integrated from the planner’s BIM process (e.g., architect or general contractor) via IFC import.

visTABLE® can be used wherever layouts need to be planned within a company. It supports systematic layout planning based on material flows to and between all types of value-adding areas, whether in manufacturing, assembly, or broader scenarios such as hall, plant, and site planning.
