Leading Innovation With Custom Software

Lino Software: Built for Reliability. Proven in Practice.

We don’t just write code – we deliver measurable business value. Our solutions span multi‑integration frameworks, CAD automation, process optimization, and custom AI applications. Everything we build is designed to make your workflows simpler, faster, and more reliable.

Versatile Products Instead of One-Off Projects

We’ve moved beyond delivering standalone integration services. Today, we build robust software products that are standardized and proven in real‑world use.

  • Software Support: Our software is well‑documented, regularly updated, and follows a transparent product roadmap.
  • Investment Security: Our architecture is future‑proof and fully GDPR‑compliant – whether deployed as SaaS, on‑premise, or in a hybrid environment.
  • Closing the Gap: We use off-the-shelf software where suitable and develop custom solutions where standard tools fall short of your specific requirements.

Our Core Technologies

Integration Through Lino® Hub

Since 2020, we’ve been developing a multi-integration platform with Lino® Hub at its center. We build robust connectors and open APIs that extend far beyond CAD – seamlessly linking PDM/PLM, ERP, CPQ, and CRM systems.

Shaping the Future With AI

For us, AI‑driven development isn’t a buzzword – it’s a core principle woven into our software development, quality assurance, and delivery processes.

  • Assistant Systems: We integrate AI applications seamlessly into complex multi-system environments, enhancing decision‑making and automating routine tasks.
  • Quality Assurance: AI‑supported test automation and documentation generation ensure consistent quality, higher reliability, and faster release cycles.
  • Human in the Loop: All AI capabilities remain completely transparent, ensuring responsible use and full control at every step of the process.

System Integration: The Difference Between Point Solutions and End-to-End Continuity

Manufacturing companies invest millions in CAD systems, PDM platforms, and ERP software. And yet an engineer still transfers part numbers and bills of materials by hand from one system to another. This is not an isolated case. It is standard practice across a large share of the German machinery industry, and it costs more than the original software investment combined.
Engineering Automation with Lino Hub

Engineering Automation: How Mechanical and Plant Engineers Seamlessly Connect Sales, Engineering, and Manufacturing

Organizations in mechanical and plant engineering that deal daily with the same product data being maintained separately across CAD, PDM, ERP, and CRM systems know the consequences: errors that propagate through the entire order processing chain and engineers spending their time on routine tasks rather than advancing product development. According to an internal analysis of Lino customer projects, up to 30% of all errors in typical engineering processes originate from redundant, manual data entries between systems. These errors are not the result of insufficient diligence — they are the result of a process architecture built on manual data transfer. Engineering Automation addresses this challenge directly: a data-driven automation solution that integrates seamlessly into the existing system architecture and connects four essential automation layers into a continuous process chain.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

These FAQs address questions about software development in the context of the Lino portfolio.

Learn how Lino develops individual integration and automation solutions for mechanical and plant engineering — standardised, stable and ready for productive use. Discover how Lino has evolved from a pure project integrator into a software manufacturer, and why reusable, fully tested software products make the decisive difference compared to traditional custom development.

How does Lino ensure the quality, maintainability and long-term stability of its developed software?

At Lino, quality is not an afterthought but a built-in characteristic of every solution developed. Lino relies on automated testing processes, complete documentation of all data flows and auditable system architectures — permanently reducing the workload on customers’ IT departments. Developed software products are based on standardised artefacts and pre-configured integration modules that have been proven in practice across more than 100 active customers. The result: solutions that not only work at go-live, but remain stable through future system migrations, version updates and growing requirements — delivering measurable productivity gains in under 30 days.

How does Lino integrate Artificial Intelligence into its software development for mechanical and plant engineering?

AI integration at Lino follows an “AI-by-Design” principle: intelligent functions are not added retrospectively but planned from the outset as an integral part of the software architecture. The Lino® AI Agent, for example, enables the capture of customer requirements via natural language, the automated generation of CAD configurations, and the intelligent validation of engineering data. Throughout, the Human-in-the-Loop principle applies: AI-supported decisions remain transparent to users, are fully auditable, and comply with the requirements of a GDPR-compliant, Privacy-by-Design architectu

What technologies and platforms does Lino use in software development?

At the heart of Lino’s software development is the Lino® Hub integration platform, which serves as the technical foundation for connecting heterogeneous systems. This is complemented by Lino® Automate for rule-based process automation, the Lino® AI Agent for AI-powered workflows, and specialised products such as Lino® Simplify (3D model simplification), Lino® 2D fix and Lino® 3D layout. Lino also develops tailored extensions for Tacton® Design Automation and the Cosling® Configurator. All solutions are designed for SaaS, on-premise and hybrid operation, are GDPR-compliant and guarantee 99.9% availability.

What sets Lino´s approach to software development apart from traditional custom development?

Lino consistently follows the principle of evolving from project integrator to software manufacturer: rather than one-off, project-specific solutions, the outcome is standardised, reusable software products and integration components. In practice, this means every developed component — whether a multi-integration framework, CAD automation module or AI application — is tested and documented to industrial quality standards and designed to scale across different customer system landscapes. This reduces maintenance overhead, guards against technical debt, and ensures long-term investment security, particularly in heterogeneous environments comprising CAD, PDM/PLM, ERP and CRM.
