The Main Layout

ProDex has a collapsible sidebar on the left and a main content area that fills the rest of the screen. The sidebar is your primary navigation — it contains links to every section of the platform. The sidebar is divided into sections based on what you’re trying to do: Simulate
  • Modeler — where you build and edit simulation models
  • Results — simulation run results, KPIs, and charts
  • What-If — compare scenarios across multiple runs
  • Layout — 2D floor plan of your facility
Optimize
  • Planning — production planning and APS optimization
  • Scheduling — job-level scheduling
Supply
  • BOM — bill of materials management
  • Data — central data hub (entities, constants, lookup tables)
Admin
  • Team Admin — manage users and permissions (tenant admins only)
  • Settings — user preferences
Some sections (Planning, Scheduling) are feature-flagged and may not be visible depending on your account configuration.

Key Concepts

​
Factory

Your factory is the top-level workspace. Everything in ProDex — models, entities, constants, BOMs, results — lives inside a factory. If you work across multiple facilities or scenarios, each can have its own factory.

​
Model

A model is a simulation model within your factory. It has a name, description, and a version history of snapshots called checkpoints. You can have multiple models in a factory — for example, one for your current operations and one for a proposed future state.

​
Checkpoint

Every time you save a model, ProDex creates a checkpoint — a versioned snapshot of the full model state. Checkpoints let you roll back to any prior version of a model.

​
Entity

Entities are the items that flow through your system — raw materials, intermediates, finished goods. They are defined at the factory level and shared across all models.

​
Run

A run is a single simulation execution. Each run produces a set of results: KPIs, charts, event traces, and optionally animation data. Runs are stored and can be compared against each other.

​
Switching Between Sections

Click any item in the sidebar to navigate. The active section is highlighted. If you collapse the sidebar, icons remain visible so you can still navigate without labels. The Modeler is the default landing page when you open ProDex.
