What you get with Fusion Operations

Near real-time dashboards

Track orders, workers, materials, machines, maintenance, time, and cost, filtered by worker, section, machine, or product.

Scheduling and MRP

Plan operations from orders to raw materials, balance workloads, and optimize capacity as conditions change.

Inventory and traceability

Manage BOMs and product trees, and track lots from batch to finished product with complete traceability.

Quality management

Build quality checklists, track quality parameters, and generate reports in minutes, with mobile data collection that supports ISO requirements.

Paperless, anywhere access

Replace paper travelers with connected tablets on the floor and dashboards on web or mobile, so everyone works from current information.

Connects to your other systems

Connect Fusion Operations to ERP, CRM, PLM, and other systems to keep production data synchronized across the business.

Key capabilities

  • Live shop floor visibility: See work-in-progress, machine status, materials, and labor as it happens. Visual dashboards flag bottlenecks before they cost you a deadline.
  • End-to-end traceability: Trace materials, operations, and finished goods back through the full production history, so audits and root-cause investigations take minutes, not days.
  • Workflow standardization: Standardize and organize the tasks workers follow across the shop floor, so every operator works the same way, every shift.
  • Maintenance management: Track preventative and corrective maintenance, schedule downtime, and cut unplanned failures before they stop a line.

Frequently asked questions

What is Fusion Operations used for?

Fusion Operations is a cloud manufacturing execution system (MES) for the shop floor. It handles scheduling and MRP, real-time production tracking, quality management, maintenance, and traceability from raw material to finished part.

Is Fusion Operations the same product as Prodsmart?

Yes. Autodesk acquired Prodsmart in 2022 and renamed it Fusion Operations in 2024 to align it with the broader Fusion platform. The underlying MES features carried over; only the name and branding changed.

How is Fusion Operations different from AutoCAD or Fusion for design?

Fusion Operations is not a design or CAD tool. It runs on the production floor after a part is designed, managing scheduling, work orders, machine and labor tracking, and quality, not modeling or drafting.

Does Fusion Operations work on the shop floor, not just in an office?

Yes. It runs on web browsers, desktop, and mobile devices, so operators can clock work, log downtime, and follow work instructions from tablets on the floor while managers see the same data in real time.

What does a Fusion Operations subscription cost?

Fusion Operations is sold as a subscription scaled to your production sites and users. Talk to DSI for a quote matched to your shop floor.
