Lantek Showcases v45 Software and 360 Platform at Global Industrie

Sheet metal processing, tube fabrication, and structural steel manufacturing increasingly rely on connected software systems to manage complex production workflows. Lantek will present its latest software developments at Global Industrie 2026, taking place from March 30 to April 2 in Paris, where it will exhibit at Stand 6G149.

Lantek v45 Introduces AI-Driven Workflow Enhancements
At the event, Lantek will introduce version 45 of its software suite, designed to improve performance across multiple stages of the production process. The release includes updates in bending, nesting, 3D assembly, palletising, and production management, reflecting a focus on end-to-end workflow optimisation.

A key addition is KAI, an artificial intelligence-based assistant that supports users in daily operations. The assistant is designed to simplify interaction with the system and improve usability by assisting with routine tasks and data access, contributing to more efficient shop floor operations.

360 Platform Connects Production and Business Processes
A central focus of Lantek’s presentation will be its 360 Platform, which integrates programming, cutting, production management, quoting, analytics, and system integration into a unified environment.

The platform is designed to provide a connected view of manufacturing operations, enabling data to flow across departments and supporting coordinated decision-making. By linking the shop floor with technical and management functions, it helps manufacturers gain greater visibility and control over production processes.

Digital Integration Supports Data-Driven Manufacturing
The combination of Lantek v45 and the 360 Platform reflects a broader approach to digital manufacturing, where real-time data and system integration are used to improve operational efficiency.

By connecting different stages of production and enabling access to consistent data, the system supports more accurate planning, reduced errors, and improved responsiveness to changing production requirements. This is particularly relevant in environments with high product variability and tight delivery schedules.

Trade Show Presence Highlights Industry Engagement
Lantek’s participation in Global Industrie 2026 forms part of its wider international activity, with the company engaging in major industrial events across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

At Stand 6G149, visitors will be able to explore how the latest software developments support more connected and coordinated manufacturing environments, aligned with current trends in industrial digitalisation.

Comparison with Existing Manufacturing Software Solutions
Manufacturing software solutions for sheet metal processing often focus on specific stages such as nesting or machine control. In contrast, integrated platforms aim to connect multiple functions within a single system.

Lantek’s approach combines production software with broader operational management tools, enabling data exchange across departments. This integration can reduce fragmentation between systems and improve overall workflow consistency compared to standalone solutions.

By combining AI-assisted tools with an integrated platform architecture, Lantek’s latest developments address the need for connected, data-driven production environments in modern metalworking industries.
