Facility Layout Software for Manufacturers
PlanTools lets your team rearrange equipment, plan line moves, and place new machines at exact scale — with drag-and-drop simplicity. It runs on one computer inside your facility, so nothing lives in the cloud and your data never leaves your building.
What It Does
The accuracy of CAD with the ease of moving furniture on a table — so anyone on your team can plan the floor, not just whoever runs AutoCAD.
Import equipment and building footprints from DXF. You calibrate by picking two known points and confirm the real-world size before anything is saved — so every layout is dimensionally true.
Place, rotate, and arrange equipment by hand in any web browser. Supervisors and operators can test ideas themselves — no AutoCAD seat, no training.
Lay out whole-floor options for material flow, or branch a single work cell into A/B/C versions to compare side by side before you commit.
Print to 8.5×11, 11×17, or Arch D (24×36) at true architectural scale, with a title block and an equipment schedule (asset IDs, cost centers, functional locations).
Self-hosted on one PC you control. No cloud, nothing transmitted off-site. Works on networks with no internet access at all.
Everyone uses it from their own computer through a browser. Check-out locking keeps edits clean; every save is versioned. No per-seat fees.
The Process
Your IT installs it once; your team uses it from any browser on the network.
One signed installer on one always-on PC. Running in about 30 minutes — no employee installs.
Bring in your floor plan and equipment from DXF, calibrated to exact scale.
Your team drags equipment into place, compares options, and refines the layout.
Produce to-scale plans for installs, line moves, and the crew — in one click.

Download
PlanTools is delivered as a signed Windows installer with your facility's license key. Because it's an on-premises product configured per site, we provide the installer directly to licensed facilities — so it's set up correctly and your license is ready on first launch.
