Navigating the Complexity of Fiber-Reinforced Materials

Composite Materials are complex. So is Manufacturing.

In the dynamic world of composite materials, where performance, know how, and the relentless pursuit of perfection are not just goals but the essence of every endeavor. Handling fiber-reinforced materials requires not just skill but a passion for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, blending an array of materials through processes that are as complex as they are critical. Every step, every decision, reflects a commitment to excellence, with the quality of your output distinguishing groundbreaking success from the ordinary.

In this intricate dance of precision, where countless individuals, suppliers, materials, and machines come together to weave the very fabric of tomorrow’s structures, CompositeOS emerges as the perfect tool to manage this complexity. Crafted exclusively for the nuanced demands of composite material manufacturing, it is more than software—it is a celebration of the industry’s unyielding drive towards perfection.

Designed for Composite Materials Manufacturing

Made by Composite Materials Experts for your Success.

Composite materials competence, software expertise and customer orientation from a single source.

Whether you manufacture components using the autoclave prepreg process or resin transfer moulding, we have the composite-specific tools, customizable modules and expertise to digitalize your processes. In addition, compositeOS offers a number of characteristics that are aimed precisely at the success of your composite materials business.

(Cost-) Efficiency

We believe software must be affordable and deliver measurable efficiency boosts for your operation.

Transparency and Oversight

In composites, oversight is key. We provide software based tools to track customer acquisition, manufacturing progress and quality metrics.

Convenience and Support

Typically, software is not a core competence of composite manufacturers. That’s why we devote time to consult our customers, plan the project transparently and provide support beyond implementation.

Digital Empowerment

Digital processes increase employee satisfaction, boost efficiency and offer unlimited new business opportunities through higher customer satisfaction.

Your Composite business reinforced by a digital thread

A few things we’re great at

Fast Quoting

Use smart automation for fast quoting of composite manufacturing projects based on CAD files and ply books. Change flexibly as you wish.

  • Unbeaten speed to generate project proposals with AI Support
  • Unlimited flexibility to change proposals
  • Automated analysis of geometry, complexity and composite-specific features
Project Scheduling

Dynamically plan your production process according to your available resources and automatically determined working times.

  • Drag and drop ressources or tasks and compositeOS will reschedule automatically
  • Get instant optimization feedback and work more efficiently
  • Define endless templates for projects to plan faster in a reconfigurable way
Project Tracking

Our tracking tool allows you to track progress depending on teams, batch sizes or other logics and to monitor the entire manufacturing process.

  • Role based assignments of tasks and processes
  • Track projects, teams, ressources and dead lines
  • From autoclave to stacking: Made for composite manufacturing
Reporting

The complete overview for the entire complexity of composite manufacturing.

  • Generate internal dashboards to keep an overview of your manufacturing operations
  • Create self service backends for customers to provide data and an overview of running manufacturing projects
  • Have full confidence for tracability of your finished products.
CUSTOMIZATION

You need it special. We make it.

We already know: you have this one special process or this one special resource that is not mapped in any ERP or MES solution. But don’t worry, it’s the same for all our customers, because we all live from specialized products. That’s why we offer comprehensive customization options for our software – at an affordable price.

  • compositeOS comes as a out-of-the-box software solution for composite manufacturers.
  • Anyway, if you need something special, we will implement it for you.
  • We work with fair development costs targeted to what SME’s can afford.

f.a.q.

You have questions. wE have answers.

Implementing a workflow software like compositeOS can be challenging and complex. We have a dedicated team of composite specialists for a smooth onboarding process. Here are some typical questions that our customers ask during the first interactions with us.

Can CompositeOS be considered as a ERP or MES system?

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is used to digitalize and automate front and back-office processes, including financial data, order management, and inventory. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) track and document the complete manufacturing process from raw materials to finished goods, providing real-time production management to quality and efficiency.

compositeOS does not follow the classic division into ERP or MES systems. Instead, compositeOS provides manufacturing companies with all the tools that are crucial for business success. The Quoting Module is used for fast and precise quotation of manufacturing projects, which is a ERP functionality but has hardly been implemented efficiently elsewhere due to the complexity of composite materials. compositeOS provides reliable quoting strategies for all fiber reinforced manufacturing processes. The Scheduling Module allows efficient and reliable planning of production processes. Such a functionality would normally be found in an MES system. The Tracking Module in compositeOS assigns work orders, including fiber-specific information such as plybooks, to operators and real-time monitoring of work progress and project status. This function would also normally have to be developed and implemented from scratch with a generalist MES system.

compositeOS combines these essential functions for composite manufacturers into one cloud based system, making it an out-of-the-box solution for composite materials companies.

Compared to generalistic ERP and MES compositeOS offers outstanding benefits for Composite Materials Manufacturers:
  • Customer centric: Seemless integration of compositeOS into existing ERP or MES systems or usable as stand-alone solution.
  • Efficient: Cost-effective implementation and unbeaten running costs.
  • Composite-specific: CompositeOS is developed by experienced composite specialists and in close cooperation with leading composite manufacturers.
What is the benefit of using compositeOS in a composite manufacturing company?
