Autodesk offers Fusion Operations, formerly known as Prodsmart, a cloud-based manufacturing execution system (MES) designed to digitize and manage production operations. The platform connects planning with shop-floor activity in near real time, helping manufacturers and fabricators improve visibility, traceability, and control. It replaces paper forms with connected digital workflows and provides dashboards covering orders, work in progress, workers, machines, materials, maintenance, time, and costs.

Fusion Operations supports production scheduling and material requirements planning, workflow standardization, inventory and lot tracking, quality management, and preventive and corrective maintenance. Teams can create quality checklists, monitor production parameters, track materials from raw inputs to finished goods, and use collected data to support audits and compliance needs. The service also integrates with ERP, CRM, PLM, and other systems to synchronize information and reduce duplication.

Used by roles including operations managers, schedulers, quality teams, and shop-floor workers, Fusion Operations helps organizations identify bottlenecks, respond to changing conditions, and analyze production performance.
