Design Tools for Supply Chain Excellence

Fortna's superior design tools provide fast, efficient and accurate results.


Fortna has developed and continuously improved on a suite of design tools including FortnaDCmodeler™, FortnaDCdesigner™,  FortnaDCestimator™,  and promis-e software.  These tools allow greater efficiency and faster solutions with real time design changes that provide detailed project cost estimates within days instead of weeks.



FortnaDCmodeler™ - Operations Design Tool

Our proprietary modeling tool, FortnaDCmodeler™, is used to drive alternative design options to tailor the right operations to meet your unique business needs.  You benefit by quickly seeing an accurately sized and designed process with an optimal balance of cycle time and productivity.
 
DCmodeler processes historical data including order, line and SKU information, among other variables, to objectively define your total planning and design effort.  This dynamic tool allows us to evaluate your operation by multiple criteria, define alternative strategies for each facility and optimize short-term capital requirements.
 
Post implementation support allows continuous evaluation, reprofiling, SKU slotting review and zone throughput review to identify cost-effective changes to increase productivity.
-Data-driven to provide objective information with the detail needed for proper planning
-Facilitates finite inventory planning, including zone balancing and SKU placement
-Reduces time needed to obtain or adjust your design
-Greatly reduces design errors.
 
FortnaDCdesigner™ - System Design & Sourcing Tool
Our proprietary design tool, FortnaDCdesigner™, is equipped with more than 50 proven modules of detailed engineering specifications, plus all the product specifications of major manufacturers of conveyor and storage media. These Fortna-developed modules include pre-engineered design, electrical, controls, and software requirements for 80% of our most common design elements.
 
It also simultaneously generates a Bill of Material (BOM) and Order Entry Forms for each necessary manufacturer removing added steps and ensuring accuracy.
Pre-engineered specifications eliminate potential errors.
Provides accurately engineered designs for the most effective bidding of system components.
Fast and accurate designs eliminate estimation, procurement, and installation delays and shorten overall project time.

FortnaDCestimator™ - Project Estimation Tool
Our proprietary software tool, FortnaDCestimator™ delivers detailed and accurate estimates in days, not weeks. It saves time by immediately and accurately estimating all facets of a project implementation from the initial design engineering through start-up support. 
 
Using the bill of materials developed in FortnaDCdesigner, FortnaDCestimator accurately calculates installation costs, field device costs, size and quantity of control panels, and a variety of cost components dependant upon the equipment used in the project.

Fast and accurate cost estimation eliminates procurement delays and shortens overall project time.

Allows you to quickly develop ROI models for the entire project, as well as for functional process areas within the project.

promis-e™ - Detailed Control Engineering Tool
 Fortna's software for electrical control system design and documentation that make the design process fast, efficient and accurate and reduces risk of controls implementation.
