ATOM successfully concluded its participation at Simac Tanning Tech 2025, the leading international exhibition for footwear and leather goods technologies.
The company reaffirmed its position as an industry benchmark in cutting and design technologies, presenting a new generation of digital solutions where Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a central role in driving the evolution toward the factory of the future.
Innovation and Digital Transformation at the Core of ATOM’s Vision
Throughout the event, ATOM shared its technological vision for the manufacturing industry — an ecosystem built on the integration of hardware, software, and services.
At the heart of this strategy lies process digitalization and the adoption of AI-driven tools to enhance productivity, efficiency, and sustainability across all production stages.
New AI-Based Automatic Nesting Software
Among the main innovations introduced at Simac 2025, ATOM showcased its next-generation automatic nesting software, powered by Artificial Intelligence algorithms.
Unlike traditional deterministic systems, this new approach can learn directly from operators’ experience, transforming human expertise into structured digital intelligence.
The result is greater cutting efficiency, optimized material usage, and a significant reduction in waste.
Once trained, these AI systems allow companies to preserve and capitalize on their internal know-how, turning it into a strategic asset that strengthens competitiveness and process consistency over time.
Industry 5.0: Data, Efficiency, and Intelligent Control
ATOM also presented its new production monitoring platform designed in line with the Industry 5.0 paradigm, where humans, machines, and data work in harmony.
The system enables real-time tracking of production, analysis of cycle times, order traceability, and detection of potential bottlenecks.
This data-driven approach offers managers a clear, continuous overview of cutting department performance, improving planning, maintenance, and process control while optimizing OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).
Next-Generation Cutting Systems: Flexibility and Performance
In addition to its software innovations, ATOM confirmed its technological leadership in cutting machinery, showcasing a comprehensive range of cutting systems:
-
Inclined-bed machines for prototyping and small to medium production runs;
-
Dual-head gantry systems for high-volume production;
-
Flatbed cutting machines ranging from 1.5 to 6 meters to meet all automation and production requirements.
The combination of intelligent software and advanced hardware defines ATOM’s approach — an integrated, end-to-end solution that transforms the factory into a flexible and data-driven ecosystem.
Shoemaster®: The Future of Fast Prototyping
Another highlight of ATOM’s presence at Simac Tanning Tech was the launch of the new Shoemaster® 3D CAD Suite, a powerful platform for fast footwear prototyping and industrialization.
Shoemaster® integrates 2D/3D technical modeling, advanced rendering, and product data management, ensuring a seamless digital workflow between design, development, and production.
This enables companies to accelerate time-to-market and create all the digital assets required for a fully connected and efficient manufacturing process.
A Shared Vision: The Future of Manufacturing Is Intelligent and Connected
Through its participation in Simac Tanning Tech 2025, ATOM reaffirmed its commitment to guiding the cutting and design industry toward a new era of intelligence, efficiency, and sustainability.
By combining AI, digitalization, and industrial know-how, the company continues to shape the next generation of manufacturing, where technology empowers human expertise and production excellence.
