Four companies, four tasks. What used to be manual work or wasted solar power now runs automatically.
Resax-Laser GmbH
Optimizer- Task
- Connect ERP and costing.
- Solution
- Data flows automatically between costing and ERP.
- Result
- No more retyping, no errors in quote requests and much less time from order to production start.
Bystronic Laser AG
Intralog- Task
- Automate the logistics of a bending cell for the end customer Stoppani Metal Systems AG.
- Solution
- Together with other partners, KODI Intralog connected the cell to the material flow.
- Result
- The bending cell is fully automatically integrated into the production flow.
Salzgeber AG
- Task
- Use more of their own solar power themselves.
- Solution
- KODI Energy controls the solar system and battery storage and uses the nitrogen generator as a flexible load.
- Result
- More solar power is used within the company.
«It uncovers errors you would not notice just walking past.»
«Thanks to the EMS I can show our customers how much CO₂ it takes to produce their parts.»
Start with the problem
SMEs in particular often lack the time and their own IT department. Start where it costs you the most today.
Transparency
Machines stand still, and nobody notices in time.
Downtime is captured automatically. Post-calculation is right because it comes from real machine data.
Quoting and planning
Quotes are retyped, deadlines slip.
Orders, dates, material and capacity are planned realistically, right after the ERP.
Execution
Order data is entered by hand at the machine.
Data goes straight to the machine, feedback goes to the ERP automatically.
Material flow
Cells wait for material, warehouse and ERP run separately.
Storage and cells are connected to the ERP. Single cells run longer without an operator.
Energy
Solar power goes into the grid while expensive power is drawn.
Nitrogen, storage and loads run when cheap solar power is available.
Open to allYour systems
Systems from different manufacturers do not talk to each other.
Over 50 connected systems. We check what is possible for your machine based on model and interface.
Benefit
KODI reports when a machine stops and shows why. One hour of undetected downtime quickly costs 180 to 300 CHF.
We calculate what KODI saves you per project, using your figures. What this looks like at other companies is shown in the customer examples.
How we start
ERP, CAM and machines stay. You do not need your own IT department, and your data is stored in Swiss data centres.
Check the machine
Based on model and interface, we clarify which data your machine provides.
Connect the KODI Box
The box goes into the control cabinet or into the network next to the machine. Your IT only enables the internet connection, we set up the rest remotely.
Measure
KODI records runtime, downtime and its causes. We do not intervene in the machine control.
Decide
We look at the figures together. You decide whether and where to expand.
Leave out what your ERP or CAM already does. Add the rest where you need it.
The solution
Each module works on its own. Together they close the gaps between your systems.

Connected at every step
KODI Connecttakes data from quoting and CAM and brings it into the ERP.
KODI Monitorrecords every machine, live and historically.
KODI Intraloglinks storage, automated guided vehicles and retrofit cells with the ERP.
KODI Energycontrols solar, battery storage, loads and nitrogen right at the machines.
Outlook
AI can only work with data once it flows. KODI lays the foundation. You do not need a data science team of your own.
Beta
Ask your production
AI assistants such as ChatGPT or Claude access KODI, your ERP and BySoft via interfaces. You ask, the answer comes from your data. Currently for selected beta customers.
