Daedalus · By Athenite
It doesn't just check your layout.
It finds one.
Daedalus is an AI-powered factory layout designer and manufacturing simulator. Give it a site, a catalog, a target, and a budget. It decides what to buy, where it goes, and how it connects, then runs the design to see if it holds.
Try it
This plant was designed by Daedalus, start to finish.
Nothing here was drawn by hand. Daedalus was given a floor plan, a catalog, a target, and a budget. It chose every machine, placed each one, and routed every conveyor, then ran the plant for a simulated week to prove the design holds.
Live Every machine, position, and conveyor here was Daedalus's own decision. Look around: pan and zoom, fold it into 2.5D, read the findings, watch it run. Changing the plant is left to the full version of Daedalus. Open it full size
A universal optimizer
Daedalus can optimize anything, for anyone.
You're building a new plant
A plant layout from a blank slab: what to buy, where it goes, and proof it will hit the number, before the concrete is poured.
You want to rearrange an existing factory
The machines you already own stay in the picture, and every move in the new factory layout has to pay for itself.
You're deciding what to automate
Which stations first, what each step saves in labor and throughput, and how fast it pays back.
You run a warehouse or distribution floor
Docks, storage, shipping bays, and forklifts, designed as one material-handling flow.
Your plant has more than one floor
What belongs on the mezzanine, what the lift costs, and what the slab can carry.
You're laying out a whole site
Where each building goes, and how trucks and material move between them.
You make food, pharma, or chemicals
Allergens, ingredients, or solvents that must stay apart are kept apart by the layout itself.
You make several products on one line
Changeovers and shared machines, planned so they stop eating your capacity.
How it works
From floor plan to verdict.
Describe the site
Your real building, from its floor plan: walls, columns, docks, floors. The machines you could buy, with what they cost and how they behave. Material handling: conveyors, forklifts, AGVs, people. What you need to make, and what you can spend.
Daedalus decides
Which machines to buy. Where each one stands, which way it faces, which floor it is on. Where the conveyors run. How much buffer, how many trucks, how many people.
Daedalus validates
It runs the finished plant for a simulated week, breakdowns and all, and gives a plain verdict:
The standard
As optimal as the math allows.
Daedalus doesn't guess. Its AI-driven search covers millions of plant layouts, keeps the ones that hold, and puts the finalists through a simulated week of production, breakdowns and all. It is built on the best published research in facility layout and manufacturing simulation, and every method inside it earned its place by measurement.
Stated plainly
Where the model ends, your judgment begins.
Daedalus's numbers come from a model, and it never pretends otherwise. It does not schedule your production, certify compliance, or replace a structural engineer. It tells you when to call one. What it gives you is a design you can defend, and the evidence behind it. The decision stays with you.
