Full Flexibility Through Declarative Logic
Unlike traditional systems based on rigid decision trees, the Cosling Configurator uses a declarative approach. This allows you to define requirements as constraints, which the solver uses to automatically determine the optimal solution. When integrated with Lino Hub, the configuration results are fed directly into your digital workflow for further processing.
Seamless integration into the digital workflow
Integrating Cosling with Lino Hub enables seamless data exchange with your existing ERP, CRM, or PDM systems. Manufacturing data – such as CAD models, engineering drawings, and bills of materials – flows directly into the sales process in real time, without any manual intervention.

What is the Cosling Configurator?
The Cosling Configurator is a powerful product configuration software solution for highly complex variants in mechanical and plant engineering. Using modern constraint solver technology, the system automatically calculates technically valid product combinations. This enables companies to reliably manage even very complex dependencies between components and configure variants more quickly.
Cosling provides a solid foundation for digital, Industry 4.0-enabled sales and engineering processes, especially for medium-sized industrial companies with engineer-to-order or configure-to-order business models.
How does Cosling’s configuration logic work?
Cosling uses a declarative approach: users define rules and constraints, while the solver automatically calculates valid product variants. Unlike traditional decision-tree configurators, the solver considers all dependencies simultaneously and automatically identifies suitable solutions. This keeps modeling clear and manageable, even when millions of possible variants exist.
What advantages does Cosling offer to medium-sized machine manufacturers?
Small and medium-sized businesses, in particular, benefit from the ability to map complex product logic in a structured way. Cosling reduces misconfigurations, speeds up the quoting process, and lightens the workload on engineering teams. At the same time, sales representatives can configure technically valid variants without having to know every detail.
How does Cosling support Industry 4.0 processes?
Industry 4.0 requires end-to-end digital processes. Cosling serves as the logical hub for product configuration and ensures that variants are technically valid. The results can be automatically transferred to downstream processes such as CAD automation, BOM generation, or ERP integration.
How does Cosling prevent configuration errors?
The integrated constraint solver checks all rules and dependencies in real time. Invalid combinations are automatically excluded, while only technically feasible variants are displayed. This prevents costly planning errors already during the sales process.
Can Cosling handle very large design spaces?
Yes. The solver technology is designed to efficiently calculate even millions of possible product combinations. This makes Cosling particularly well-suited for complex machines or systems with many technical dependencies.
How can Cosling be integrated into existing systems?
Cosling can be seamlessly integrated into existing IT landscapes. Using integration platforms, data can be exchanged with ERP, CRM, or PDM systems. This enables end-to-end digital processes from sales through to manufacturing.
Which companies is Cosling particularly well suited for?
The Cosling Configurator is ideal for companies in mechanical and plant engineering that offer complex, highly configurable products. It is particularly suited to engineer-to-order and configure-to-order business models, where technical validation and fast quotation generation are critical.
