01 · The problem
Designing a fab's utility backbone is huge — and it never holds still.
The process and tool set firm up late, and every change ripples through the load on every system — power, process cooling, exhaust, make-up air. Today that work is done by hand — MEP consultants, spreadsheets, CAD — so it's slow, it's rarely optimal, and the design is stale the moment a tool moves.
Owners pay for that twice: in rework when they freeze too early, and in wasted capital when they over-build to be safe.
Live data model synchronized across your team
A consultant hands you a snapshot. FacilityConnect hands you a living model.
Every demand, supply and connection in your fab — with capacity pools, diversity factors and scenario timing that profile load across the build.
FacilityConnect is the system of record everything else plugs into. When a tool moves or a demand changes, the model absorbs it and every downstream number updates — so the design moves with the build instead of going stale.
Inside FacilityConnect
The Optimizer
The engine that sites and sizes every piece of the distribution — mechanical and electrical — evaluating millions of configurations to find the one that uses the least equipment and cable while staying within capacity.
02 · Integrations
Keep your network architecture in step with FacilityConnect.
MCP server · synchronize
The architecture you already maintain, synchronized.
FacilityConnect speaks MCP, so an AI assistant can read the living model and load into it directly. The network architecture you keep in your analysis tools syncs across without a hand-built exporter — and stays in step as it changes.
- EasyPower tested
- SKM tested
- PipeFlow tested
- Custom Excel logic tested
How the sync holds up once you are live — preview-first loads, atomic writes, your own permissions — is covered on the migration page, with the full tool surface in the FacilityConnect MCP server.
03 · How it works
One loop, re-run as the build firms up.
— 01
Capture
FacilityConnect keeps a template for each tool type — its utility requirements among other attributes — so your equipment list becomes a structured, diversity-corrected demand model. Generic templates stand in before the real tools land.
— 02
Optimize
The Optimizer runs as information firms up. Early, on projected demand, it sets the utility basis of design. Once the tool layout is stable, it re-runs in detail — siting and sizing every system and piece of equipment in the distribution, mechanical and electrical.
— 03
Apply
The result lands back in the model: the sized distribution and its connections, ready for your engineers to review.
— 04
Re-run
When the layout or demand changes, optimize again. The model keeps everything in revision, so change is cheap.
Your engineers run this loop themselves.
FacilityConnect is fully functional and everything works out of the box. You load the tool layout and the utility demands, run the Optimizer, and get the sized mechanical and electrical distribution back — with the living model behind it. No need for our engineers to manage it.
100% SaaS. Your engineers can run FacilityConnect themselves.
04 · Where we fit
From first tool spec to hook-up — on one model.
Phase 01
Process & technology development
As the tool set and its facility requirements take shape, we capture them as reusable tool templates in the living model.
Phase 02
Base build
We model the supply side, the capacity pools and diversity, and profile load over time. The Optimizer can set the utility basis of design here — before the layout exists.
Phase 03
Layout stabilizes
The payoff: the Optimizer re-runs in detail — siting and sizing every system and piece of equipment in the distribution, mechanical and electrical.
Phase 04
Install & hook-up
The connections are the record of what gets built; changes stay tracked and auditable.
Underneath all four: one living model — so nothing has to be frozen early to protect what comes next.
05 · Let's talk
Bring your layout and demands. Run the optimized distribution yourself.
If you're delivering a large-facility build and you're tired of designs that go stale the moment a tool moves, we'd like to hear from you.
