In what has become something of a tradition, imos AG will be presenting the latest version of its iX 2025 software solution at this year's LIGNA. Numerous new functions and improvements in the handling of the software solution have been announced. In addition, visitors to LIGNA 2025 can look forward to interesting presentations that will impressively demonstrate the performance and versatility of imos iX 2025. In addition to the functional improvements in the iX CAD, iX CAM, and iX NET product groups, imos AG aims to set new standards in the industry with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into its software products. The software products and services have been expanded to include a range of AI components with the aim of optimizing workflows and providing better support for users in their daily work.

License or subscription: users have the choice

Another focus is on making iX software products available in the cloud. The individual modules can still be installed on-premise or in the cloud. This allows each company to decide which operating model to use. The licensing model has also been expanded. In addition to the classic perpetual license model, iX modules can now also be used on a subscription basis. Instead of an investment, the subscription incurs monthly fees for use.

Plan furniture and furnishings online

The web-based planning and sales solution iX NET has undergone the most significant development in the past two years and comes with new technology and a new UX. Great importance was attached to new and improved visualization. Both the real-time display during planning and the server-generated photorealistic images make the planning results appear almost lifelike. According to imos, the planning speed has also been drastically increased thanks to a modified data concept. Visitors to LIGNA 2025 can find further advanced developments in the iX NET area, where future developments will be presented to the public.

AI quickly converts customer requirements into concrete designs

The use of AI in sales and planning for furnishings, especially kitchens, reveals new possibilities for quickly translating customer requirements into concrete planning results. This means that AI offers innovative solutions that make furnishing plans more efficient, personalized, and accessible.

Experience furnishing concepts virtually

Visualization is an important aspect: AI-supported tools and applications can create realistic 3D models of rooms, enabling users to experience different interior design concepts virtually. These models can be adapted in near real time, allowing customers and planners to change the colors and decorations of the interior designs as they wish, thereby altering the overall look. This makes it easier for customers to make decisions and speeds up the sales process. AI is used to turn inspirational graphics into concrete product information, which is then processed in imos iX into planning documents and quotations and finally into production documents. The Herford-based company remains true to its concept of consistency from sales to the CNC machine. This approach has been further expanded and refined in the new version, imos iX 2025. These solutions are designed to make AI accessible to small and medium-sized companies.
