Applied AutoMod is a 3-D simulation and automation analysis software developed by Applied Materials. It has been used for over 25 years helping engineers, integrators, and systems analysts understand and solve the complexities of manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, and material handling systems throughout the world.

AutoMod provides easy to use material handling modules for modeling; Conveyor Systems, Vehicle or Path-Based Systems, Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems, Bridge and Gantry Cranes, Robotic Operations, and Power and Free Systems. Users build models in a true 3-D environment and can incorporate 3-D graphics developed in other software packages. The AutoMod language provides the necessary details to model complex decision making and controls necessary to accurately model and evaluate complex system performance and interaction. AutoMod also can communicate with external controls systems via OPC or Sockets providing the capability to perform controls testing and Emulation.
