Cideon Conify is the ideal combination of CONnection and CONfiguration! The software seamlessly connects systems and makes the configuration process more efficient. Cideon Conify's easy-to-use user interface is designed so that you can automate processes yourself. This makes the software solution the control center for your configuration process.
The centerpiece of a consistent configuration process is the connection between information from sales and engineering. The data generated during product configuration must be available for subsequent steps. In the MCAD area, the Cideon Managed Components solution is used for this purpose, ensuring the automatic reuse of components—regardless of the PDM system used.
Cideon Conify automatically generates xCAD data, ERP-specific bill of materials, and manufacturing schedules within minutes. PDM-compliant xCAD data forms the basis for any subsequent order engineering. Structures are aligned to create a consistent database.
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.
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.
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.

Would you like to implement or optimize consistent configuration processes? Then 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 throughout the entire configuration process. The focus is on identifying your potential based on your current and future desired ways of working. We work with you to develop a targeted overall solution and prepare it so that it can be implemented in your everyday work.

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.
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+.
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.
Engineering automation is the automated creation of technical product data such as CAD models, drawings, bill of materials, or manufacturing documents. It is based on defined rules and parameters and enables fast, consistent, and error-free implementation of product variants—often directly from the variant configuration. This makes the order processing process more efficient, shortens throughput times, and significantly reduces the time from the offer to the delivery to the customer.
Part reuse is automated in Cideon Conify. The Cideon Managed Components module ensures the reuse of components and assemblies, regardless of the product configurator, CAD, and PDM system used.
Cideon Conify connects your product configurator and your CAD, PDM/PLM, and ERP systems. To do this, we use the APIs provided by your systems. If your systems do not offer sufficient APIs, we develop project-specific integrations so that you can still use and reuse all data in Cideon Conify. Feel free to talk to our experts and we will find a suitable solution together.
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.
