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.
Software Solution for Automated Variant Configuration and Variant Design
Cideon Conify is the ideal combination of CONnection and CONfiguration!
Rely on software that seamlessly connects data and makes the configuration process more efficient. Create complete MCAD/ECAD automation with Cideon Conify, including transfer to your PDM system.
The linchpin of an end-to-end configuration process is the linking of information from sales and engineering. The data from the product configurator must be available in the subsequent steps. Automatically generated and PDM-compliant xCAD data forms the basis for the subsequent order design and the generation of ERP-specific parts lists, work plans and production processes.
Suitable methods for variant design serve as the basis for this.
Challenges in the Consistency of Your Variant Designs
Product Features of Cideon Conify
Cideon Conify is the automation center in the configuration process. The software solution processes the collected data into a standardized structure and makes it available for other systems - regardless of the product configurator used.
Conify Connects Your CAD, PDM and ERP Systems
The data generated in the configuration process can be provided by Cideon Conify in the variant design as a neutral format if required. They can be found and reused at any time.

FAQ about Cideon Conify
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.
