Ennea AI is building the AI operating system for intelligent factories – made in Europe for the companies that power Europe’s industrial backbone.

Today, too many manufacturers still run production through disconnected MES systems, Excel sheets, paper instructions, tribal knowledge and manual firefighting. Ennea AI changes that. Our platform unifies production planning, shopfloor execution, machine data, analytics, interfaces and AI assistance in one modern system – so factories can react in real time instead of days or weeks later.

At the heart of Ennea AI is Konnie, an operations AI agent built specifically for manufacturing. Konnie does not just answer questions. She understands orders, machines, workers, constraints, SOPs and live production data. In Active Mode, Konnie can help run daily operations: detect disruptions, suggest or execute rescheduling, trigger tickets, adapt workflows and keep teams aligned across the shop floor.

Our generative interface layer turns factory knowledge into usable software. A video, voice explanation, work instruction, PDF or existing process can become an operator app, quality checklist, dashboard or workflow – dramatically reducing the time and cost of digitization.

We are building for the Mittelstand: powerful enough for complex factories, intuitive enough for real shopfloor teams, and fast enough to create value without multi-year implementation projects.

Europe does not need another legacy MES. It needs autonomous factory software built for the AI era. That is Ennea AI.

ORDERFLOW by algonaut automates B2B order entry for wholesalers and distributors. It reads incoming orders in any format — structured or unstructured, German or English, clean PDF, scanned fax, or free-text email — and turns them into ready-to-post ERP transactions in seconds. What makes it different: Before go-live, ORDERFLOW trains on each customer’s historical order archive. By the time they switch the system on, it already understands that customer’s specific article catalogue, unit conventions, and the quirks of their most important buyers. Customers free up their sales teams to focus on customer relationships rather than copy-paste, cut error rates that used to cause costly downstream issues, and scale order volume without scaling headcount. The mission is simple: no human should ever type an order into an ERP again.

LastBIM vereinfacht die digitale Erfassung von Gebäudedaten in der Planungsphase und sorgt dafür, dass alle Informationen den Projektbeteiligten genau dann zur Verfügung stehen, wenn sie benötigt werden. Das spart wertvolle Zeit und schafft eine stabile Basis für die Digitalisierung und Zusammenarbeit in der Baubranche.

In der modernen Bauplanung sind digitale Gebäudemodelle (BIM) für automatisierte Prozesse wie Kostenschätzung, Nachhaltigkeitsanalyse und Facility Management unerlässlich. Damit diese Prozesse funktionieren, müssen die Modelle jedoch präzise und strukturierte Daten enthalten. Dies erfordert drei wichtige Schritte: die Definition von Datenanforderungen, deren Integration in das Modell und die Sicherstellung der Qualitätskontrolle.

Das Problem: Diese Aufgaben werden von verschiedenen Personen in verschiedenen Unternehmen erledigt, was die Kommunikation ineffizient macht. Infolgedessen sind die Anforderungen unklar, die Daten sind inkonsistent und Fehler verursachen kostspielige Verzögerungen. Viele Teams verlassen sich immer noch auf manuelle Prozesse, Tabellenkalkulationen und unzusammenhängende Tools, was zu Zeitverschwendung, Nacharbeit und Budgetüberschreitungen führt.
