simus classmate

simus systems - Engineering Data Intelligence for Manufacturing simus systems is a German software company specializing in turning engineering and product data into structured, searchable, and actionable information across CAD, PDM/PLM, and ERP environments. The software is primarily used by manufacturing companies and mechanical engineering organizations. Typical users include design or manufacturing engineers, cost engineers, technical procurement teams, master data managers, technical sales teams, and project managers. By connecting engineering data with costing, manufacturing, procurement, and enterprise processes, simus systems helps companies reduce manual work, improve cost transparency, increase part reuse, and establish a reliable data foundation for digital and AI-driven applications. Automated, Rule-Based and AI-Supported The technology follows a largely automated and rule-based approach. Existing CAD, PDM/PLM, ERP, master data, and drawing information is analyzed using configurable rules, geometric algorithms, and AI methods. This allows companies to apply their own standards and business logic while keeping processes transparent and reproducible. Solutions can be integrated into existing IT landscapes and workflows rather than requiring companies to replace established systems. Trusted Across Manufacturing Industries / 250+ clients simus systems works with 250+ industrial companies ranging from specialized mid-sized manufacturers to international engineering and manufacturing groups. Customers operate in sectors including mechanical and plant engineering, production technology, packaging machinery, industrial equipment, transportation, and other manufacturing industries. The solutions are designed for organizations managing large volumes of technical data and looking to improve data quality, automate engineering processes, and make better use of existing product and manufacturing knowledge. Flexible Deployment and Browser-Based Costing In addition to on-premises and enterprise solutions, simus systems offers browser-based software for manufacturing cost calculation. Companies can estimate the costs of turned, milled, and sheet metal parts based on 3D CAD models and technical drawings without requiring a complex local IT installation. This makes automated cost estimation accessible to engineering, procurement, and costing teams alike. CAD Analysis, Costing and Part Reuse The solutions cover a broad range of engineering and manufacturing use cases. 3D CAD models can be automatically analyzed, classified, and compared based on their geometry, making it easier to find and reuse existing components and avoid unnecessary duplicates. Manufacturing costs and process information can be calculated directly from CAD data to support design-to-cost, make-or-buy decisions, procurement, quotation processes, and production planning. Master Data Management and Classification For master data management, simus systems supports the analysis, cleansing, standardization, classification, and enrichment of material and product data. Rule-based processes help companies create consistent structures, identify duplicates, improve data quality, and support classification standards such as eCl@ss and UNSPSC. AI-Powered Drawing Analysis AI-based drawing analysis can extract manufacturing-relevant information from technical drawings, including dimensions, tolerances, GD&T, threads, surface specifications, and other product manufacturing information. These results can be combined with 3D model data to create a more complete digital representation of a component.
