CELUS is a deep tech software venture based in Munich, Germany. The CELUS Design Platform uses AI and complex algorithms to automatically turn functions and requirements into fully functional electronics solutions. Our cloud solution selects all necessary components to generate the bill of materials and corresponding schematics: From thought to circuit in record time! Our software finds the right solution out of millions of possibilities. It selects digital twins of electronics components and electronic circuits, thereby replacing the PDF-based data sheets and application notes conventionally consulted in the design process of new projects. By automating many manual steps in the development process, we drastically shorten the time-to-market on top of extending the capacity and efficiency of your development teams. This way we are building a full ecosystem of component manufacturers, distributors, EDA suppliers and customers working together in a collaborative way.

We empower shop floor workers by connecting them with our smart collaboration software to increase process efficiency and deliver new data insights. Plant managers looking for instant results are enabled to enhance visibility and accountability between employees. aucobo increases productivity in companies by connecting humans and machines.

Our mission is to make industrial shop floor management human-centric to enable autonomous, accurate and first-class productivity for every member of the global manufacturing workforce. We are an innovative company based in Stuttgart, Germany. The name aucobo stands for "automation cookbook": Building your own automation flows to automate things independently. Through constant exchange we gradually developed the core aspect of human-machine communication and formed the basis for aucobo. #industry4.0 #software #smartmanufacturing #digitaltransformation #industrywearables #humanmachineinterface
