What do we do?

In short, Autodesk Fusion Operations offers real-time analytics for production lines and job shops. We turn plain factories into digital smart factories. Autodesk Fusion Operations is a cloud manufacturing system collecting information via mobile digital devices directly from the workforce, rendering supply chains paperless.

One important consequence of having real-time analytics is that it allows you to quickly identify waste. This in turn facilitates plans to address inefficiencies as soon as they arise.
