Wizcore unveiled its integrated Design to Manufacturing AI platform at the SIMTOS 2026 exhibition in Goyang, South Korea, running from April 13 to 17. The platform connects CADian, a domestic dwg-based CAD software, with the NEXPOM smart factory solution to bridge design and production workflows. Key components include the NEXPOMer data gateway for real-time integration of sensors, robots, and manufacturing equipment, and Widdy, a custom AI agent designed to automate knowledge management and system operations. The company also showcased its SAFELY industrial safety documentation tool and 5G-enabled autonomous mobile robot (AMR) management systems to support broader digital factory operations.

This integration addresses the persistent data silos between engineering design and shop-floor execution, a critical bottleneck in smart manufacturing adoption. By linking CAD data directly to production monitoring, Wizcore aims to compete with established global PLM and MES providers by offering a modular, localized alternative for the Korean manufacturing sector. The platform targets diverse industries including automotive, electrical, and mechanical components, focusing on optimizing decision-making through real-time data analysis rather than simple process automation. This approach aligns with the current market trend of moving from basic connectivity to autonomous, AI-driven operational environments.

For users and industrial buyers, the value of this platform lies in its ability to standardize data flow from design files to machine-level execution. Wizcore must now demonstrate the scalability of its Widdy AI agent across complex, multi-site manufacturing environments to prove its utility beyond localized pilot projects. Future adoption will depend on the platform's interoperability with existing legacy ERP and MES systems already deployed in large-scale manufacturing facilities.
