Imnoo & SmartFactory: Real‑time data meets AI - From online quoting to production planning
Why this matters:
When customers send STEP files or PDF drawings, they expect online quoting, transparent delivery dates, and answers within minutes. This is exactly where our partnership fits: SmartFactory provides real‑time shopfloor data enriched with ERP context. Imnoo turns this data into precise quotes, automatic routings, and reliable production planning with artificial intelligence. The result is faster response, higher delivery reliability, and better margin.
Why Imnoo & SmartFactory belong together
SmartFactory connects your CNC machines and your ERP via a cloud connector, captures machine states, runtimes, and feedback in real time, and visualizes them on smartphone, wallboard, and operator panel. The solution scales via cloud architecture and supports common CNC controls - turning machine connectivity into the foundation for production monitoring and improved on‑time delivery.
Imnoo uses these live signals for online quoting and an end‑to‑end sales and production process: with AI (“Marvin”), precise runtime and cost estimates are created, routings are suggested automatically, and machine feedback flows back into post‑calculation, production planning, and production control. The result is faster quotes, fewer manual inputs, and measurably higher profit per order.
We integrate bidirectionally with ERP and BDE/PPS via REST API - up to direct machine connectivity on request. From webshop to quote and order through to planning, your process runs automated and Industry 4.0‑compliant.
Key benefits:
-
More transparency in production monitoring thanks to real‑time data
-
Faster, more accurate quoting based on 3D/PDF
-
End‑to‑end flow: webshop, quote, order, planning, feedback
How the shopfloor flows into the quote
-
SmartFactory → Imnoo: Job start, setup time, downtimes, and runtimes are transmitted via REST API.
-
Imnoo learns: Marvin refines runtime models, suggests routings, and updates prices.
-
Back to ERP/PPS: Quotes, orders, routings, and delivery dates are synchronized.
Technical overview for IT & work preparation
Imnoo provides a REST API. ERP systems (e.g., FAUSER) pass drawings and 3D models, material information, and trigger the calculation. Results (times, cost centers, operations) are retrieved via API. Token authentication and field mapping are documented; default materials and machine keys are referenced reliably. In parallel, SmartFactory supplies machine data, ERP data, and file links from its cloud environment.
Connecting Imnoo to SmartFactory is this easy
