Benefit from software that connects sales and engineering data and generates configured MCAD/ECAD data for engineering-to-order!
Consistency in configuration depends on connecting data from sales and engineering. Data from product configurators needs be made available for the subsequent steps. Automatically generated, PDM-compliant xCAD data is the basis for engineering-to-order and generation of ERP-specific parts lists, work schedules and production processes.
Are the following challenges familiar to you in your daily work? Our special software solution for consistent configuration processes provides a solution, makes your daily work easier and increases your competitiveness.
Conify connects systems – for high-performance mechanical engineering. Conify is the hub in configuration processes, ensuring data consistency.
CIDEON Conify can generate neutral format data when required. Data is accessible and reusable at any time – consistent data for your configuration process.

CTO stands for Configure-to-Order and means that a product is configured as required by selecting from a range of predefined options. The product is no longer developed completely to order, but is put together from various components and options. If additional services are added or changes are made, this is referred to as CTO+.
CIDEON Conify is a software solution that provides PDM-compliant CAD data for sales, order design and production in the configuration process, thus enabling efficient processing of customer-specific quotations and orders.
CIDEON Conify is the control center in the configuration process and ensures consistent data. The automation process can already be started in the sales department with CIDEON Conify. CIDEON Conify then provides the data in a standardized structure for the other systems, for example for the CAD system, and stores the data in the PDM. By integrating the ERP system, BOMs, work plans and production processes can then be generated - creating consistency right through to production.
The use of CIDEON Conify results in several time and cost advantages. Above all, the elimination of double entries and manual data reconciliation saves a lot of time. The quick and easy retrieval of all data and the reuse of components and parts also saves resources. In addition, processes are automated, eliminating routine tasks.
Quality is also increased thanks to optimized data management, correct quotations and the minimization of error sources. Standardized, proven components are now available, which increases product quality.
Yes, thanks to the connector to EPLAN Engineering Configuration (EEC), electrical engineering planning can also be generated automatically. Circuit diagrams and electrical engineering documentation are generated at the click of a mouse. For example, a desired machine can be configured in this way, while the circuit diagram and BOM for the machine are generated almost automatically at the same time.
The CIDEON Configuration Discovery workshop focuses on identifying potential based on current and desired future working methods. The first step is to take stock of the configuration environment along the value chain, define a target state and show a demo example. A realistic solution structure, a cost estimate and a project plan are then drawn up. At the end, a presentation of the results is created, including a definition of the sensible next step.
Do you want to implement or optimize consistent configuration processes? In that case, we are at your side with our CIDEON Configuration Discovery workshop!
The workshop is based on our standardized and proven consulting methodology, which supports your process requirements along the entire configuration process. The focus is on identifying your potential based on your current and future desired working methods. Together with you, we develop a targeted overall solution and prepare it in such a way that it can be implemented in your everyday work.
