In this episode of the DigitalituM Podcast, host Markus Rimmele delves into the transformative world of AI-powered assembly planning with Alexander Neb, Founder and CEO of Assemblio. Based in Stuttgart, Germany, Assemblio is pioneering a new era in assembly processes by leveraging advanced AI to simplify and accelerate one of the most tedious aspects of manufacturing.

🛠️ Topics Covered

1. Alexander’s Background & Journey
   • From childhood fascination with mechanics to becoming a leading innovator in assembly planning.
   • His academic and professional milestones include his time at Mercedes-AMG, Recaro, and Fraunhofer Institute.
   • The "eureka moment" that inspired the creation of Assemblio was born from the frustrations of manual assembly documentation processes.
2. The Problem with Traditional Assembly Planning
   • Challenges of creating assembly instructions manually using screenshots and CAD models.
   • Why assembly planning can take weeks and require constant revisions due to changes in CAD models.
   • The inefficiency and reliance on human expertise for repetitive, time-consuming tasks.
3. Assemblio’s Groundbreaking AI Solution
   • Assemblio uses AI to analyze CAD models, identify assembly features, and generate step-by-step work instructions in a fraction of the time.
   • Compatibility with all major CAD formats (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, AutoCAD, and universal STEP files).
   • Outputs include PDFs, videos, and 3D animations—making assembly instructions accessible to all skill levels, from engineers to shop floor workers.
4. Real-World Applications
   • Assemblio serves automotive, medical devices, and construction industries, with applications ranging from truck axles to entire buildings.
5. The Future of AI in Assembly
   • Collaborations with organizations like Fraunhofer Institute and Google on fully automated solutions.
   • Upcoming developments in robot programming, logistics planning, and real-time assembly monitoring.

🎯 Key Takeaways

• Efficiency: Assemblio automates repetitive tasks, enabling engineers to focus on design and quality rather than tedious documentation.
• Accessibility: Outputs are tailored to diverse audiences, from highly technical engineers to assembly workers without mechanical experience.
• Scalability: The platform can be used for small components or large-scale projects, like planning the assembly of an entire house.
