nuIT platform – From first drawing to finished sheet metal part

Editor

The heart of the system

Designed to make profile creation simple and intuitive. From basic shapes to complex profiles with tapers, punching or boxes, the Editor gives you powerful tools without unnecessary complexity.

Digitally from the start

Create profiles once. No redraws, no handwritten sketches, fewer errors. Always clear, consistent and easy to follow.

Draw the profile once and nuIT automatically generates structured documents, pricing, production data and much more.

The challenge

How do you receive orders today?

Handwritten sketches

Drawn on site, interpreted in the office, redrawn for production.

Redraws and double work

The same profile is captured three or four times before it hits the machine.

Errors and misreads

Every manual handover is a chance for mistakes, and scrapped material.

Manual document work

Order confirmations, delivery notes and production papers are put together manually, order by order. Time-consuming and inconsistent.

nuIT changes this, in every scenario

One platform

The platform for sheet metal shops, roofers and everyone working with sheet metal profiles.

01
Draw
Create the profile once in the browser-based editor, on site, in the office or on the machine.
02
Quote & order

03
Document
Order confirmations, production documents and status updates are generated automatically.
04
Produce
Cutting optimizations and bending programs go straight to CIDAN, Thalmann and Forstner machines.

Digital Twin platform for CIDAN folders. Prepare profiles as if you were right at the folder, on perfectly synced data. One click sends the finished profile to the machine: no USB drives, no network shares, no manual transfers.

Machine integrations

Connect CIDAN and third-party machines through open integrations designed to optimize workflows and simplify production.

Office to shop floor

Prepared in the office. Produced on the shop floor.

A few skilled people prepare every job: production planning, nesting and cut optimization, bend program management. The shop floor just produces.

01
Cut
Forstner coil lines, CIDAN shears and third-party machines, driven by the cutting optimization from the office.
02
Punch and laser
An optional stage: punching and laser machines, third-party equipment included.
03
Bend
CIDAN and Thalmann folders plus third-party machines. Scan and bend, operator guided.
04

Part label: printed at the cut, scanned at every station, guides the operator.

Jobs are prepared in the office and the printed label guides every part. Operators scan, bend and produce. No re-typing, no searching, no time-consuming sequencing at the machine.
