Business Impact difference
System Architecture, IT & Implementation
Serverless / Elastic: System scales computing power automatically during heavy AI processing loads
On-Prem / Hybrid Cloud: Dedicated servers (or private cloud) ensures data never leaves the facility.
Naologic is cheaper and faster to scale. DELMIA meets strict IP security requirements (e.g., ITAR).
"Day 0" Configure: Drag-and-drop warehouse layout; connect machines via API; live in days.
System Integration: Consultants map processes, migrate data, and validate over months.
Naologic offers immediate ROI for agile SMEs. DELMIA offers a tailored, enterprise-grade foundation for massive corps that require ITAR compliance.
Auto-Regenerated Code: When the core platform updates, the AI "rewrites" your custom apps to match, killing technical debt.
Version Upgrades: IT schedules a weekend downtime to patch the server from v2024 to v2025.
Naologic keeps the system permanently modern with zero downtime with “always at latest” model. DELMIA provides a stable, frozen environment for validated industries, requiring timely updates with extra cost.
AI Code Generation: User prompts "Add a 'cool-down time' field to the extruder form," and AI rewrites the app code instantly.
Configuration & Scripting: IT specialist opens the configuration studio, adds a field, and maps it to the DB.
Naologic allows operations managers to iterate processes in minutes. DELMIA ensures rigid, standardized processes to follow.
API-First / Webhooks: Connects to Shopify/Slack via pre-built modern web connectors.
OPC / PLC / ERP Bridge: Deep integration with SAP/Oracle and floor PLCs (Siemens/Allen-Bradley).
Naologic connects the "Business" side: CRM + ERP + MRP + QMS. DELMIA connects the "Machine" side (Sensors/Controllers) to Mfg.
User Experience & AI Automation
Natural Language "Ask Your ERP": User types "Show me high-waste shifts this week."
Dashboard & Report Builders: User navigates to Reporting > Quality > Scrap, applies filters, and exports.
Naologic reduces "data fatigue" by giving instant answers without training. DELMIA offers structured, repeatable manual processes.
Semantic Search: Search for "that red plastic part for Honda" and it finds the SKU.
Structured Lookup: Search by Part Number 123-456-AB or exact Description string.
Naologic speeds up finding info when data is messy. DELMIA enforces data discipline and exact referencing.
Agentic Workflows: Search for "that red plastic part for Honda" and it finds the SKU.
Structured Lookup: Search by Part Number 123-456-AB or exact Description string.
Naologic automates decision-making (Autonomous). DELMIA enforces human approval gates with manual decisions (standard for high compliance environments).
Shop Floor Operations & Quality Control
AI "Next-Best" Prompts: AI suggests: "Run Job B next because Resin X is already loaded," minimizing changeover.
Finite Capacity Optimization: Engine calculates 1,000s of constraints (tools, labor, shifts) to find the math-perfect schedule.
Naologic maximizes flow and reduces changeover time dynamically. DELMIA ensures 100% resource utilization and deadline adherence in complex assembly but you have to calculate changeovers/dialovers.
AI Coaching Agents: Tablet prompts: "Speed looks low; check the tensioner," based on live anomaly detection.
Digital Work Instructions: Operator views step-by-step 3D PDF or AR overlay on how to assemble a part.
Naologic acts like a senior foreman coaching on performance. DELMIA ensures strict adherence to procedure (critical for ISO/Quality).
Anomaly-Driven Prediction: "Vibration on Motor 3 is weird; order a spare belt."
RCM & Calendar: Schedule maintenance every 500 hours or 3 months."
Naologic prevents downtime before it breaks (predictive). DELMIA ensures compliance with warranty/safety schedules (preventative) without pattern recognition.
Real-Time Scrap Deduction: Bad product on the scale is instantly deducted from yield and flagged for recycling.
Statistical Process Control (SPC): Measure every 10th part, plot on a control chart, alert if Cpk < 1.33.
Naologic focuses on immediate financial impact of waste. DELMIA focuses on Six Sigma process capability and consistency through manual workflows.
Multi-Scrap Splits: One bad batch is split: 30% to regrind, 20% trash, 50% downgrade—in one tap.
Non-Conformance Reports (NCR): Open an NCR ticket, assign a root cause, and route for disposition approval.
Naologic is optimized for high-speed continuous lines. DELMIA is optimized for regulating tracked defects.
Performance "Gamification": Operators see a live "Score" based on throughput vs. scrap.
Labor Tracking & Certs: Verify operator has "Welding Lvl 2" cert before allowing login to machine.
Naologic drives motivation and speed. DELMIA drives safety and compliance.
Supply Chain, Inventory & Financial Management
Instant Quote Conversion: Drag a Quote into "Production" to auto-create the BOM and Order.
Order Release Governance: Sales Order -> Credit Check -> Engineering Review -> Production Release.
Naologic reduces admin time by 90%. DELMIA prevents unprofitable or unbuildable orders from hitting the floor.
Live Gram-Level BOM: As the machine runs, the BOM updates resin consumption by the gram in real-time.
Engineering vs. Mfg. BOM: Syncs CAD Engineering BOM (EBOM) to Manufacturing BOM (MBOM) with ve
Naologic prevents material variance in process mfg and follows guidelines for assembly. DELMIA ensures a strict physical assembly within the system’s constraints.
Continuous Flow (Takt Time): "Don't order materials yet; the line is blocked." Syncs to live consumption speed.
MRP / Kanban: "Stock fell below 50 units; trigger purchase order."
Naologic reduces WIP (Work In Progress) cash tie-up. DELMIA guarantees stock availability for assembly lines with one method of reordering.
Conversion Flexibility: Buy in pallets, store in kilos, sell in feet. AI handles the math auto-magically.
Bin & License Plate Tracking: Track specific serial numbers to specific bin locations via barcode scan.
Naologic simplifies complex unit-of-measure changes. DELMIA provides one unit measurement.
Throughput-Based Pricing: System auto-updates unit price based on line speed and yield efficiency.
Standard Costing: Pricing is built from fixed material costs + labor rates + overhead allocation.
Naologic protects margins in volatile/continuous manufacturing with multiple costing options, revalue inventory. DELMIA provides stable, standard costs for long-term contracts.
DelmiaWorks shortcomings
Frustrations we hear from customers who migrated from DelmiaWorks to Naologic
Painfully Slow, Expensive Deployments
Built as an "Engineering-Native" system tailored for massive, heavily regulated corporations, DelmiaWorks requires massive system integration. The heavy reliance on external consultants for setup and data migration delays time-to-value and creates massive upfront costs.
Rigid Configuration & Heavy IT Dependency
Customizing DelmiaWorks requires IT specialists using proprietary scripting and low-code studios. Tweak requests create severe administrative bottlenecks for operations teams trying to continuously improve their shop floor processes.
High Maintenance & Costly Upgrades
Operating on legacy on-premise or hybrid cloud architectures, updating DelmiaWorks requires IT-scheduled weekend downtimes to patch servers and migrate versions. This rigid upgrade cycle disrupts operations, racks up unnecessary IT costs, and freezes innovation.
Inflexible Costing and Inventory Logic
The system forces standard costing models and strict single-unit measurements. This approach frequently leads to over-ordering and tied-up capital, struggling to accommodate the complex multi-unit conversions (e.g., buy in pallets, sell in feet) needed by modern process manufacturers.
