A million layouts.
One answer.
Athenite is a high-tech consulting firm. Our flagship instrument, Daedalus, designs factory and warehouse layouts — what to buy, where it goes, how it connects — then validates its own answer in simulation.
The category problem
Most tools grade your layout. Ours writes it.
Simulation software can tell you whether the layout you drew will work. It cannot tell you what to build. The space of possible plants — every equipment choice, position, and routing — is astronomically larger than any team can explore by hand. Daedalus explores it by the million.
Our flagship
Daedalus
Your plant, on paper
The floor plan of your actual building, an equipment catalog, transport options, demand targets, and a capital budget.
The whole design
Which machines to buy, where each one goes, and how everything connects — plus buffer sizes, fleets, and crews.
Its own answer
A full stochastic simulation of the finished design: throughput with confidence intervals, and an honest verdict.
Engagements
Three ways in.
Design a new plant
From floor plan and product targets to an equipment list, a floor arrangement, and simulated evidence that it holds.
Re-lay an existing floor
We design around the equipment you already own — every relocation priced against the gain it buys.
Chart the frontier
We sweep your capital budget and report labor saved and payback as a range — not a single hopeful point.
Our standard
We'd rather say “too close to call” than be wrong.
Daedalus's numbers come from a model, and it says so. Every throughput figure carries a confidence interval; every optimization reports a certified bound on what's achievable; when two designs can't be told apart, it tells you that too. The engineering decision stays with you — our work is to make it a far better-informed one.

An email is enough to start. A floor plan and a demand target are even better.
