Modern automotive manufacturing demands agile coordination; however, operational decision-making remains severely hindered by data fragmentation across siloed enterprise systems and the lack of intuitive information retrieval mechanisms. While graph-based models offer a promising foundation for structural data integration, querying them requires formal languages (e.g., Cypher) that remain largely…

Automated floorplan generation has advanced rapidly, yet most methods remain constrained to orthogonal geometry, single-scale synthesis, and fully specified inputs—mismatched to real practice where designers iterate from sparse, evolving cues and irregular floor footprints. We present FreeLayout, a free-form floorplan generation framework that adapts an SDXL-class latent diffusion backbone to str…
