john meyer 0

Requirement:

map an machine process from an conveyor system (only mapping/sketching not processing in any way)
map a cable cutting machine (only mapping/sketching not processing in any way)
Not complicated just easy in three parts: *Machine itself *Attachment Parts ( Fences etc.) *SPS Control Unit Hello everyone,

were introducing a new assessment Tool and we want to map our biggest Machineries in it.

I have the task to create an illustration for the Machines that we can point out our Spare Parts for this.

I thought about Visio to do this, but i'm not sure.

Moreover its not in our Office Plan included, so may

someone has an alternative outside the MS Universum.

Sorry if sth. is missing i haven't created things like this before.

best regards john

Answer 1

Based on the user's requirements shown in the image (mapping a machine in three simple parts: Machine itself, Attachment Parts, and SPS Control Unit, and pointing out spare parts without needing complex processing), here are the best simple tools outside the Microsoft ecosystem that fit the bill:

Bullet Draw.io (Diagrams.net): A free, web-based diagramming tool that requires no installation. It is ideal for importing machine photos and adding callouts, text boxes, and directional arrows to point out spare parts across different sections.

Bullet Miro or FigJam: Collaborative digital whiteboards that allow you to easily drop in images of your machinery, group them into structural blocks, and use simple shapes and lines to highlight components and spare parts.

Bullet Excalidraw: A lightweight, minimal virtual whiteboard with a hand-drawn aesthetic that is very quick and easy to use for simple layout sketches without a steep learning curve.
