How imos works

With imos, one model takes you from the GASTON design planner to the machine

imos keeps design, parts data and machine programs in one database, so every output comes from the same model. Change it once and everything downstream updates.

01

In imos iX CAD, products are built as parametric 3D models with standard parts, so one changed dimension updates the whole model.

Instead of redrawing the same product for every variant.

02

iX CAM automates CNC programming. Parts lists, drawings and machine data come directly from the model.

Instead of preparing programs and parts lists by hand.

03

imos connects to your ERP through an interface, so order and production data move between the two without retyping.

Instead of entering the same order into several systems, adding days and errors.

What imos changed at Alples Ltd.

More done in less time, with fewer errors

  • Fewer errors

    Sales and production share a single digital twin. Data is created once and flows seamlessly from design and ordering to manufacturing — eliminating duplicate work and reducing errors.

  • Faster to production

    Time from design to CNC program is 60% shorter, so orders reach the machine sooner.

  • Less manual work

    50% fewer manual steps free the team from routine work and from the checks that go with it.

  • Reliable data

    Design, production and the ERP work from the same data, so everyone sees the same, current information.

“IMOS enables us to run our automated HOMAG cutting and edgebanding lines with minimal manual intervention. From planning to CAM, every step is connected, while GASTON XML integration ensures a seamless flow of order data from sales directly into production.”

Common questions

What can Alples Ltd. and its team do in imos?

Design furniture as parametric 3D models, then generate parts lists, drawings and CNC programs from the same model, all in one workflow.

Can imos connect to our ERP?

Yes. imos exchanges order and production data with ERP systems. Inovartix checks the connection to your ERP during the consultation.

Do we need to change our machines?

imos prepares machining data straight from the design. Inovartix checks compatibility with your machines in the consultation.

What does imos cost?

It depends on the size of your team, the modules and the setup. In a free, no-obligation consultation, Inovartix goes through your products and workflow and gives you a clear offer.
