Complete Automation: From Customer Request Directly into Production
Make custom manufacturing in lot size 1 profitable. CTO+ AI transforms individual customer requirements into validated technical parameters, reliable quotes, and production-ready data—automated, traceable, and directly integrable with ERP, CAD/PDM, and CAM systems.
One platform. Two winners.
- For Your Customers: Personalized and Immediate
The end customer describes or configures their desired product. The AI analyzes the requirements, identifies special requests deviating from the standard, and supports sales and order processing in conducting a rapid assessment.
Result: Reduced waiting times, and clearer statements regarding feasibility, pricing, and delivery times.
- For your organization: consistent and error-free
Your design process is no longer stalled by every special request. CTO+ AI automatically prepares technical parameters, documentation, bills of materials, routings, drawings, and manufacturing data—the engineer simply reviews and confirms.
Result: Less manual data entry, fewer queries, and a faster path to production.
In CTO+, CAD drives the process - not ERP.
Standard processes are designed for the norm. Your business, however, thrives on the exception. This is precisely where friction arises today: customer requests, technical assessments, cost calculations, design, and manufacturing often involve media breaks and manual handoffs.
100% IP Protection. Made for the DACH Region.
Your design data is your most valuable asset. CTO+ AI is designed for sensitive manufacturing and engineering data—with options for Private Cloud, Edge AI, and internal knowledge bases.
Your models, rules, and manufacturing logic remain protected.
From Quote to Production – Automated.
Current transformations focus heavily on CRM, CPQ, and production. In the CTO+ domain, tool support is often lacking—and this is precisely where CTO+ AI steps in.
AI Interface 1: Sales → Order Processing
Support for Customer Needs Analysis:
- Automatic analysis and classification of CTO+ requirements
Clear highlighting of special requests relative to standard specifications
Similarity search within the internal knowledge base
AI-generated status updates regarding analysis, classification, and deviations
Preliminary assessment of feasibility, price, and delivery date
AI Interface 2: Order Processing → Design / Production
Support for the CTO-to-Production Process:
- Automated preparation of technical parameters
Validity checks prior to ERP integration
Order-specific Bill of Materials (BOM), including components and assemblies
Routing plans for cutting, welding, assembly, and subsequent steps
Technical documentation and drawings
CNC codes and process plans for direct machine connectivit
Set it up once → and the Quote-to-Cash process runs significantly more automatically thereafter.
Intelligence where others see only chaos
CTO/CTO+ Classification
The AI detects whether a request is standard, CTO+, ETO, or technically unfeasible. It systematically evaluates customer requirements—such as sturdier frames, improved insulation, or additional access points—and highlights any deviations.
Semantic Archive Search
“Have we built this before?”
CTO+ AI semantically searches through components, assemblies, projects, and historical orders. In seconds, you can see whether similar solutions exist—including context, timestamps, and reuse potential.
Preservation of Droid Knowledge
The experiential knowledge of your top designers is digitized: rules, minimum clearances, manufacturing logic, machine constraints, and practical exceptions are made actionable within the AI.
Automatic Validation
The AI checks technical rules—such as minimum distances between holes and the bend line – as well as geometric conflicts. Warnings, suggestions, and alternatives are displayed directly.
CAD-centric parameterization
Static CAD or STEP data is converted into parameterizable assemblies. This results in variants that are robust not only from a sales perspective but also in terms of manufacturability.
ERP/CAM-Export
Following verification, production-ready data is transferred to ERP, PDM, CAD, or CAM systems: bills of materials, routings, geometries, drawings, and machine information.
