In Fusion Operations, a section can be used to map a specific subdivision or area within a factory where a particular process or set of operations is performed, such as the assembly section, quality control section, or packaging section.

Sections are composed of workers and/or machines, and each section may have distinct operations that are exclusive to that section.

How to create a section

1. To create a Section in Autodesk Fusion Operations, through the Operation (1) Panel, you should select the sub-panel "Sections" (2) and click on Add Section (3).

2. Enter the name of the section and click "Save Section".


How to assign sections to different entities

1. To associate Workers with Sections, open the desired worker's page and set the Sections that they belong to.

2. To associate Machines with Sections, open the machine's page and set the Section that it belongs to.

3. To associate Operations with Sections, open the operation's page and set the Section that it belongs to.


Sections Behavior:

When sections are used, they filter the information workers see on the tablet. For example:

  • If a worker belongs to a section, they will only be able to execute operations from that section.

  • If a worker belongs to a section, they will only be able to select machines from that section.

  • If an operation belongs to a section, it can only be executed with machines from that section

    Note: Operations and Machines that do not belong to any section can be seen by everyone.


FAQ:

1. Is it possible to assign multiple sections to the worker?

Yes, it is possible to assign more than one section to the workers.
