Configura and imos AG Announce Partnership to Integrate Design and Production Software
Software companies Configura and imos AG have announced a strategic partnership integrating their design and production software solutions.
Linköping, Sweden – October 13, 2022 – Configura, a provider of space planning software, and imos AG, a specialist in manufacturing solutions, have formed a strategic partnership aimed at streamlining design-to-production workflows.
The collaboration will integrate Configura’s CET Designer platform for space planning with imos AG’s iX software, which handles manufacturing processes. This integration is intended to enable a seamless transfer of design data, including materials and specifications, directly from the design phase into production environments.
"This partnership enables final designs and renderings to go further," said Configura CEO Stefan Persson. "When users export CET data into imos iX, they can seamlessly carry designs to production, giving accurate counts and materials necessary to produce products for installation. This is a huge time saver for everyone involved and reduces manufacturing waste from errors."
The combined solution is expected to reduce errors, minimize rework, and shorten lead times for furniture and interior manufacturers. Configura's CET software allows users to create detailed designs, while imos iX processes this data for automated production, accounting for all manufacturing aspects and necessary components. This integration aims to create a more efficient end-to-end process from sales and design through to manufacturing and installation.
