Configurators and calculators For engineered-product makers

The rules behind your products, built into the way you already design and quote.

Your rules become tested code that engineers sign off. AI reads the RFQ and explains; code does the math.

Talk to us How we verify
Illustration: an engineering drawing of a flanged housing. When the size input changes, code recalculates every dimension and runs the checks, and one rule flags the part for engineering review. AI traces the minimum-wall note to its two source documents and reads a vendor email that delays heat treat. A solver finds room to grind the job a day early, then an engineer signs the drawing and the planner approves the move.

Illustrative example

Most configurations still go through a spreadsheet and one engineer.

The rules that decide what a product can be are spread across spreadsheets, old drawings and house methods a few engineers know by heart. Each RFQ waits for one of them, and a quote made without them can promise something the plant can't build.

A configurator built on those rules lets an estimator or sales engineer produce a valid design and price, and the engineer reviews and signs off.

From an RFQ in the inbox to a quote a person sends.

AI handles the edges, where reading and writing take the time. The numbers in between come from code your engineers have checked.

  1. 01

    Read

    AI pulls the parameters from the RFQ or spec and flags what's missing.

  2. 02

    Confirm

    An engineer or estimator confirms the inputs.

  3. 03

    Calculate

    Tested code configures, checks and prices it.

  4. 04

    Explain

    A plain-language summary, each line traced to its rule and version.

  5. 05

    Sign off

    A named person approves it and sends it.

Text inside an RFQ is treated as data. Instructions hidden in a spec can't change a price or skip a clause. Each quote and its outcome go on the record, so the estimate eventually meets what the job really took.

Built around your product line.

Configurators

Application data in; a valid configuration out, with the part number, bill of materials data and price that go with it. Your engineering rules decide what's allowed, so a sales engineer can't quote something the plant can't build.

  • Calculators

    The engineering checks your designs depend on, written to the standards and house methods you already use, in your units and your product families.

  • Reports

    Calculation and configuration records laid out the way your customers expect them in a submittal.

  • Links into quoting

    Your spreadsheet or ERP reads from the same numbers, so a design and its price never disagree.

Tested before your engineers trust it.

Checked against worked examples, and against designs you've already built and qualified.

Every result traces back to the rule, method and version it came from.

Versioned, with controlled updates when a standard or one of your rules changes.

How the tools are maintained, and who stays in charge

Fitted to you, maintained on one core.

Each tool is fitted to your products on a core we maintain. A correction or an update lands once, instead of separately in every customer's copy.

Your engineers stay in charge.

Our tools support your engineers. They don't replace engineering judgment or a qualified sign-off, and we don't certify designs.

Configurators work beside Company Brain and APS.

Beside Company Brain

Plenty of design decisions live outside any rule table: customer specs, past field failures, house margins. Company Brain holds those with their sources, and both run on the same approved rules in MAP.

What Company Brain does

Beside APS Planned

A quote whose lead time is checked against real capacity in APS, so sales promises a date the floor can hit.

How APS works

What engineering managers ask first.

Usually that's where we start. Your spreadsheets hold rules people already trust. We turn them into tested code and keep the logic recognizable to the engineers who wrote it.

Around the edges, where it helps: reading an RFQ or a customer spec and proposing the inputs, and explaining a result in plain language. An engineer confirms the inputs. The numbers come from tested code.

Your rules, data and configurations are yours. The core we build on is ours, which is why a correction reaches every customer without a rebuild.

Rules are versioned. When one changes, you can see which open quotes it affects before anything goes out with the old answer.

Yes. Like everything we build, it runs on infrastructure you approve. The calculations themselves don't need an AI model at all.

Send us a configuration you still do by hand.
