Why Digital Factory Planning Is Critical – and How to Make Decisions before They Become Costly

Many critical decisions in factory planning are made early in the concept phase. However, without a consistent digital model, layouts, processes, and material flows are often planned separately. This leads to misunderstandings, late adjustments, and costly changes during implementation.

visTable® enables you to create a digital factory model that brings all relevant elements together. Layouts, processes, and material flows become visible, scenarios can be evaluated, and decisions can be validated before they impact real-world operations.

Planning Decisions Are Made without a Shared Model

Different stakeholders rely on separate assumptions. visTable® creates one consistent digital factory model as a common basis.

Errors Are Detected Too Late in the Process

Issues often appear during implementation. visTable® makes problems visible early in the planning phase.

Processes and Layouts Are Not Considered Together

Disconnected planning leads to inefficiencies. visTable® links spatial structure, processes, and material flow in one model.

Decisions Are Difficult to Communicate and Validate

Abstract plans are hard to align on. visTable® enables clear visualization and shared understanding across teams.

How to Plan and Validate Your Digital Factory with visTable®

Create a shared digital factory model to visualize layouts, processes, and material flow – and make confident decisions before implementation.

How visTable® supports

3D Construction Kit for the Digital Factory

With visTable®, you build your Digital Factory step by step. Use the integrated object catalog, import CAD models, or create new building blocks. This provides the foundation for the digital twin of your factory and replaces labor-intensive 2D factory planning with interactive 3D layouts.

Utilize a vast selection of objects from our model library.

3000+ objects and models are included
Import CAD files (e.g. STEP, DWG, IFC)
Create new objects from building blocks by yourself

Virtual Factory and Processes

With visTable®, your factory becomes virtually tangible before its realization. Whether it’s workstations, machinery, or entire production lines, you select the appropriate level of detail for your virtual model. Placeholders from early concept phases can be replaced with precise CAD data at any time. Using the VR interface, you can realistically walk through the factory and test processes even before they are implemented.

Digitalize Collaboration Within Your Company

With visTable®, digital factory planning becomes a shared communication platform within the company. Instead of workshops with analog methods and tools like sticky notes, you create digital layouts that all stakeholders can understand immediately. Changes can be discussed directly within the team and implemented in the layout without loss of time or misunderstandings. This establishes the foundation for a practical and economically viable digital factory in the context of Industry 4.0. The virtual factory safeguards investments by preventing misjudgments.

Turn factory planning into a common language for all departments.

Benefits of the Digital Factory

Leading industrial companies, such as automotive OEMs, already rely on digital factory planning to safeguard their investments and realize production facilities faster. With visTable®, this technology becomes accessible to medium-sized businesses as well: you plan factories virtually, avoid costly mistakes, and ensure projects are implemented on schedule. Production development is no longer a one-time task but an ongoing optimization process. This is where the digital factory shows its strengths, making changes predictable, transparent, and economically viable. With visTable®, you have the right approach at your fingertips.

Reduce your time-to-market and bring projects to implementation on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions on Digital Factory Planning with visTable®

The digital factory encompasses the virtual image of all processes, layouts, and structures within a manufacturing facility. With visTable®, you can plan these workflows clearly and realistically.

A digital twin is the virtual representation of a real factory, including machines, layouts, and workflows. With visTable®, you can create this twin and simulate different scenarios before making any investments.

It prevents planning errors, reduces costs, and makes complex processes easier to understand. With visTable®, you safeguard investments and shorten your time-to-market.

The core benefits of the software can be found in the following areas:

  • Reduced planning time while simultaneously increasing planning quality
  • Lower transport efforts and logistics costs
  • Simple and effective communication of planning results

No. The intuitive user interface is designed in a way that users with only Office application knowledge can get started immediately.

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.

The visTable® software does not consist of individual modules; rather, it is always a complete package offering multiple functions to support your planning. Therefore, you are not required to purchase modules separately.
