Industrial Complexity is manageable

Lino makes complex business processes radically simpler, more reliable, and faster. With leading-edge integration, AI-powered automation, and standardized, reusable products, we bridge the critical 20% gap that off-the-shelf software leaves behind. With our solutions, we deliver measurable results in less than 30 days—secure, scalable, and GDPR-compliant. We work transparently, collaboratively, and with a focus on results: We listen, deliver quickly, and reliably implement what we’ve agreed upon.

The missing 20%

Off-the-shelf software often only covers 80% of the requirements. We provide the remaining 20% as a ready-to-use, production-ready solution—stable, tested, and scalable.

Business benefits in less than 30 days

By using reusable building blocks and templates, we deliver measurable value in the shortest possible time—without lengthy project timelines.

Integration as a Principle

We look beyond individual tools and orchestrate end-to-end processes across CAD, CPQ, ERP, and PDM.

Quality by Design

Our software is standardized, stable, and thoroughly tested—with built-in quality assurance and an AI-by-default approach.

Measurable results

At least 30% fewer errors, 25–50% shorter turnaround times, and 99.9% system availability are not promises, but targets.

Secure & auditable

GDPR-compliant architectures, clear role models, and human-in-the-loop approaches ensure maximum security and traceability.

A partnership of equals

We work with a commitment to reliability, transparency, and long-term partnerships—offering quick response times and a clear focus on your needs.

Leading Innovation for nearly 20 Years

Nearly 20 years of implementation experience, our own product roadmaps, and continuous development ensure that innovation delivers tangible results.

Software for digital Product Configuration

Optimize variant management, CAD automation, and engineering processes with an integrated software platform for mechanical and plant engineering. Combine product configurators, CPQ, 3D visualization, and system integration into a seamless digital process chain—from quotation creation through design and order processing to manufacturing. Efficient, scalable, and future-proof.

Lino® Hub

A modular integration platform that drives digital transformation in sales, engineering, and manufacturing. As flexible middleware, it connects configurators, CAD, PDM, ERP, and CRM systems to create end-to-end, automated processes. Product configurations, CAD documents, and 3D visualizations are generated faster, error-free, and without media discontinuity—enabling more efficient order and manufacturing processes.

Still Planning Facility Layouts on 2D Floor Plans? You Are Risking the Contract!

Assembly changes that only surface on site cost three to five times the original planning expenditure in mechanical and plant engineering. Yet many companies still deliver abstract 2D floor plans to their customers — plans that capture neither heights nor potential collisions. This is not an expression of efficiency. It is a structural competitive disadvantage — and it is fixable.
TECHNICAL ARTICLE

Three days to build a variant that a rule set could have generated in minutes. Why manual design processes are no longer defensible.

Any manufacturer still asking its engineers to model standard variants by hand and type metadata into a PDM system one field at a time is not wasting money. It is wasting engineering judgement. That distinction matters.
TECHNICAL ARTICLE

Manual 3D model simplification isnt a process. Its a waste of resources.

Anyone who still removes screws, holes, and internal assemblies manually from a SolidWorks model before sending it to a supplier is paying a price—in terms of labor hours, the risk of errors, and tied-up engineering capacity. This process can be automated. And there’s no good reason to wait.
