In 1996, CIMx Software was born from a vision of revolutionizing manufacturing technology. Our founder, Anthony Cuilwik, saw a critical need to modernize the outdated production planning systems plaguing manufacturers. Recognizing the failures and limitations of existing systems, Cuilwik and a team of five embarked on a mission to completely revamp the technology they saw becoming obsolete, and their commitment to progress laid the groundwork for the innovative solutions that would become our hallmark at CIMx.

MultiCAPP’s true power went beyond simple planning. This innovative software offered a glimpse into the future of MES by aggregating and comparing data from multiple locations. This data-driven approach, a core principle of MES, proved beneficial for a jet engine manufacturer by enabling them to share information and benchmark performance across different facilities.

The success of MultiCAPP is a testament to CIMx Software’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of manufacturing technology. It’s also a testament to MultiCAPP’s enduring design because upgraded versions continue to operate in nearly a dozen locations nationwide.

This remarkable software was a great start but CIMx had even bigger plans for the future of manufacturing.

CS/CAPP wasn’t just an upgrade; it was the foundation for a comprehensive suite of tools. We developed CS/TOOL to complement CS/CAPP, offering additional functionalities. Next we introduced a quality control product to ensure quality remained a top priority. Finally, a shop browser facilitated a more efficient client-server connection, further enhancing user experience. The development and deployment of CS/CAPP and its companion tools marked a significant chapter in CIMx Software’s growth. As we thrived through the early 2000s, our sights were set on an even more comprehensive solution.

Interax introduced a new generation of functionalities. Features like advanced data collection empowered manufacturers with richer insights into their operations. The success of Interax solidified our commitment to user-centric design. We recognized the need for an intuitive system that could empower people with real-time data to make informed decisions. This vision paved the way for the development of our next-generation MES solution, Quantum, which prioritizes user experience and streamlines workflows through an even more modern interface.

2015 marked another milestone for CIMx with the introduction of Quantum, our next-generation MES solution. Chosen by our employees themselves, the name “Quantum” reflected a leap forward in functionality and adaptability. While the term “Quantum computing” has become prominent today, the name back then captured the essence of a system designed for limitless possibilities.

In 2023, CIMx Software embraced innovation yet again with the introduction of Quantum Cloud. This came from our understanding that manufacturing success isn’t limited to large companies. Recognizing that not every manufacturer requires a dedicated on-premises server, we’ve adapted Quantum to seamlessly operate within a cloud environment.

This wasn’t a simple feat. We remained committed to maintaining feature parity, ensuring the cloud version offers the exact same robust functionality as the on-premises Quantum. This involved hundreds of code modifications and optimizations, all aimed at delivering a seamless user experience regardless of deployment method. Now, whether you prefer an on-premises server or the flexibility of the cloud, Quantum is the solution to empower your discrete manufacturing operations.
