Onboarding & Implementation of SIMILIA AI

Structured onboarding and robust system integration to ensure a secure and efficient launch

Integration von SIMILIA AI in CAD-, PLM- und ERP-Systeme

Integration into your system – guaranteed straightforward.

SIMILIA AI has no system-related limitations. The solution can be integrated into any system environment through standardized process workflows. These workflows were developed by SIMUFORM and are designed to operate simply, automatically, and with high robustness.

This prevents lengthy or complex integration projects for customers—SIMUFORM ensures stable and long-term software operation.

The multi-CAD technology processes data from different sources in parallel and automatically prepares it for searchability. All data is updated incrementally on a daily basis, ensuring an up-to-date and consistent data set at all times.

SIMILIA AI

Technical Data

SIMILIA AI supports all common CAD formats natively—no conversion to STL or other exchange formats is required. Integration is based on standardized processes and can be embedded into any system environment with minimal effort.

Our knowledge base is built on a PostgreSQL database. Connectivity to PDM and ERP systems relies on robust, standardized data exchange processes that can be adapted on the customer side if needed.

SIMUFORM ensures long-term and cost-efficient maintenance of the overall solution. Integration and commissioning of SIMILIA can be completed within a very short time—numerous customer references confirm this.

Straight from real-world practice

What our customers say about using SIMILIA AI:

“With the integrated SIMILIA AUTOMATION solution from SIMUFORM, we accelerate the processing of customer inquiries, effectively reduce the variance in quotation calculations, and at the same time optimize our production times.
The flexible connection of this solution to both our CRM and MES systems increases operational efficiency, as it also improves our resource and production planning.”
