Layout Planning

Plan your factory layout directly in the browser.

Load DWG or DXF as background, place machines and equipment from the object library, check dimensions — all web-based, without a CAD licence or installation.

What you can do with matflow layout planning

DWG/DXF Import

Load existing CAD plans as a scaled background. matflow automatically detects units and scale.

Object Library

Machines, conveyor systems, racking, gates, tables — parametrically scalable. Define custom objects from DXF or as rectangles.

Dimensions & Distances

Dimensioning with one click: distances between objects, aisle widths, bounding boxes. Everything stays up to date when you move objects.

Zoning & Colour Coding

Colour areas by cost centre, department or process step. Floor space balance is calculated automatically.

3D View

Switch to 3D perspective to check heights, clearances and spatial impression — no separate 3D software needed.

Variants A / B / C

Create and compare multiple layout variants in parallel. All share the same floor plan, differing only in arrangement and flows.

How a typical planning session works

  1. 01

    Import floor plan

    Upload your DWG or DXF file. matflow scales it correctly and displays it as the planning background.

  2. 02

    Place & arrange

    Drag machines, racking and conveyor elements from the library onto the plan. Snap to grid, check dimensions directly.

  3. 03

    Compare & decide

    Create variant B alongside variant A. Compare KPIs side by side — floor space, transport performance, aisle widths.
