C-Infinity will release AutoAssembler v4 next week at IMTS 2026, an AI-powered assembly intelligence platform designed to convert CAD models directly into manufacturing process plans. The company calls the software a "manufacturing compiler" that automates a step engineering teams currently handle largely by hand: translating product designs into executable assembly instructions.
AutoAssembler applies AI and physics-based reasoning to product geometry, motion, and spatial constraints. It flags interference, misalignment, infeasible configurations, tool-access and motion-feasibility concerns, assembly-sequencing conflicts, and Design for Assembly (DfA) opportunities before a design reaches the shop floor. The platform also generates manufacturing bills of materials and bills of process directly from the CAD model, work that process planners typically build by hand in spreadsheets.
Engineers who manage engineering change orders will care about how the platform handles revisions. When a product design changes, AutoAssembler reanalyzes the updated model and updates the affected production plan automatically, rather than forcing a full manual reevaluation of the assembly.
AutoAssembler connects to CAD and PLM systems and, according to C-Infinity, supports all major platforms in both categories. It outputs structured data downstream for ERP, MES, and factory automation systems. The company built the platform to run in customer-controlled environments and private cloud deployments, a deployment model aimed at enterprise manufacturers that want to keep proprietary engineering data off third-party clouds while still applying AI to planning work.
Sai Nelaturi, co-founder and CEO of C-Infinity, said "Engineering and manufacturing teams shouldn't have to rely on spreadsheets and legacy software systems to determine how products get built." AutoAssembler, he said, "acts as a manufacturing compiler, transforming what must be built into how it will be built."
C-Infinity will demonstrate AutoAssembler v4 at booth 135658 at IMTS 2026. The company won't be the only one pitching AI-driven process planning that week: similar systems are expected on the floor at the ASSEMBLY Show in Chicago during the last week of October.
