What 2025 Changed and What’s Now Possible

2025 marked a turning point for the manufacturing industry. AI, capacity bottlenecks, and volatile supply chains forced companies to rethink their approach. Partfox turned these challenges into opportunities - with an intelligent platform that connects procurement and production in real time. The new Part Analyzer 3.1 not only brings transparency to the RFQ process - for the first time, it understands the full manufacturing context behind each part.

First Things First: What’s New?

Part Analyzer 3.1: The new analysis engine goes far beyond simple geometry recognition - it now analyzes the full manufacturing context of a part in real time. Whether it's a milled part, bent profile, or complex assembly: The AI automatically detects critical manufacturing parameters like material hardness, tolerances, or feasibility risks.

  • AI-powered Quoting Intelligence for Manufacturers: Thanks to context-aware AI analysis, Partfox understands what needs to be manufactured - not just what it looks like. This leads to more accurate cost estimates and significantly speeds up the quoting process.
  • Instant Insights You Can Act On: Whether you're in procurement or quoting, the Part Analyzer identifies critical manufacturing factors like material hardness, tolerance specs, or potential risks - at the push of a button. That means faster decisions and greater planning security.

From Features to a Manufacturing Platform: What Really Changed in 2025

In just 12 months, Partfox evolved from individual features to an intelligent ecosystem for digital manufacturing - delivering clear benefits for both procurement and production:

  • Seamless Quote Automation Without Media Disruptions: Quote data is extracted directly from PDFs and CAD files - with no manual input or email ping-pong. The result: a continuous, end-to-end digital workflow from RFQ to offer.
  • Cross-Technology Assembly Structuring: Complex, multi-level assemblies can now be digitally structured end-to-end - including all subcomponents and manufacturing methods. That reduces complexity and improves planning.
  • Intelligent Matching Based on Structured Profile Data: Instead of basic supplier lists, Partfox uses structured data from supplier profiles, technologies, and manufacturing specialties - enabling better, more transparent sourcing decisions.

Partfox 2026: From Smart Manufacturing to Strategic Platform

2025 was the year Partfox grew up - both technologically and functionally. In 2026, development continues: with even more automation, smarter matching, and enhanced analysis features, Partfox is evolving into a strategic platform for digital procurement and manufacturing.
