Methods Machine Tools Inc. and Multiaxis LLC have announced an exclusive collaboration to bring Multiaxis Intelligence to market, an AI assistant designed to "streamline operations and revolutionize how manufacturers interact with technology in their daily workflows."
Multiaxis Intelligence will serve as a user-focused digital twin, offering tailored assistance for diverse roles across the manufacturing spectrum. By seamlessly integrating into existing systems, it provides a highly adaptable platform capable of optimizing workflows, reducing administrative burdens, and enhancing peer-to-peer collaboration.
Features include:
- Quick Ask Widgets: Instantly provide technical answers.
- Web Search Integration: Access verified industry knowledge.
- Voice Collaboration: Enable hands-free operations.
- Text-to-Speech: Enhance presentations with automated audio.
- Document Management: Generate, compare, and securely store files.
- Secure Local Storage: Protect sensitive data and intellectual property.
At the heart of Multiaxis Intelligence is the Private Company Vault—a secure, on-premises knowledge base. This tool allows manufacturers to curate internal expertise, storing documentation, prompts, and insights to create a protected resource for their teams. The Vault ensures sensitive data stays within company-controlled environments, safeguarding intellectual property.
Michael Kaminski, CEO of Multiaxis LLC, emphasized the transformative impact of this platform. “Multiaxis Intelligence will empower manufacturers to save time, optimize processes, and enhance operational efficiency. It’s not just software—it’s a partner in problem-solving and decision-making.”
Rick Alton, CEO of Methods Machine Tools, echoed this sentiment. “Manufacturing competitiveness demands smarter tools. Multiaxis Intelligence reduces operational complexity, letting teams focus on delivering quality finished parts and driving revenue.”
This partnership builds on a decade of innovation between Methods and Multiaxis, including their previous collaborations with CAMplete on TruePath and TurnMill solutions for Nakamura-Tome machining centers. Their recent Design and Manufacture Series for FANUC RoboDrill integrated cloud-based manufacturing processes, setting the stage for this latest venture.
The AI-powered Multiaxis Intelligence platform is set for a general release in 2025. With its ability to operate across multiple locations and integrate seamlessly with IT infrastructures, it represents a pivotal step forward in modernizing manufacturing environments and boosting productivity in an increasingly competitive industry.
