Todd Schmook, Author of the AU2023 clas s'A Factory Design Utilities Discussion with Peers on a Successful Deployment'

A Factory Design Utilities Discussion with Peers on a Successful Deployment addressed the issues with all the variables to consider, such as how many employees will need access, shared content, creating content, templates, managing cloud data, and best practices when implementing Factory Design.

All of this can be very overwhelming. To help the attendees that are in the early stages of this process, the class was intended to help you gain knowledge and save time by hearing what others have gone through who have implemented Factory Design.

For the attendees who are already working with Factory Design, the hope was to share tips and tricks allowing you to take this information and implement it into your existing workflows.

Delivering “A Factory Design Utilities Discussion with Peers on a Successful Deployment” at Autodesk University 2023 was an awesome experience and a great way of sharing knowledge on this subject with others who have implemented Factory Design and for anyone who wants to implement Factory Design. The class went very well, and we could tell others are as passionate as we are about this subject.

Several people mentioned how challenging it is to gain the knowledge needed with Factory Design because of the limited time to learn and implement it while still meeting the project deadlines. It can be challenging to implement new software and workflows in your company. Pre-planning by reading up on the subject, taking advantage of classes at Autodesk University, and trying your knowledge on a small project is the best way to have a successful deployment.

Kevin and I have another great class planned for this year’s Autodesk University. The plan is to have it as a continuation class from last year, but it will also stand on its own. So, if you have not implemented Factory Design yet, download the class document “A Factory Design Utilities Discussion with Peers on a Successful Deployment” from last year’s Autodesk University and look for this year’s class at Autodesk University 2024.

Hope to see you there!
