Simplifier, one of the leading low-code providers in Germany, is experiencing remarkable growth and opening up new business opportunities through expanded networks. This is reflected in its growing customer base, including companies such as Poco, Max Weißhaupt and Hako. Simplifier also recently released version 8 of its platform. The new version offers a number of powerful innovations and enhancements that further expand the potential of low-code and embed Digital Process Automation (DPA) into the platform. At the same time, Simplifier is expanding the possibilities of low-code and in the production environment using artificial intelligence as part of the promising IIoT research project LoKI.
The strategic investments
The strategic investments in Simplifier by PwC Holdings Germany GmbH and Possehl Digital are not only making themselves felt in financial terms, but are also leading to new business opportunities through a substantial expansion of the company’s network. The growth achieved exceeds expectations and continues a promising trend for the current financial year. Major companies such as Poco, Max Weißhaupt and Hako are now part of the customer base.
“The cooperation with established companies such as Poco, Max Weißhaupt and Hako confirms our position as one of the leading low-code providers. Simplifier remains on course for success by creating added value for our customers.

Intelligent transformation of production
Simplifier launches “LoKi” (Low-Code Components for the Development of AI Assistance Systems), a ground-breaking IIoT project that aims to create a low-code AI platform for future industrial applications. The aim of the publicly funded project, which is being carried out in cooperation with the plastics research institute SKZ, is to facilitate the use of AI for process optimization and to increase the efficiency of manufacturing processes.
Highlights include customizable low-code components for the seamless use of AI models in containers, explainable AI components in combination with visualizations for transparent AI decision-making processes and a robust OPCUA connector for automatic machine data acquisition. This enables effortless data-based analysis for industrial applications.
The usability of the developed low-code AI platform is demonstrated in this project using an application in the injection molding process. SKZ-trained AI models are used for this. The aim is to develop innovative low-code components to improve manufacturing processes that use automatic data acquisition, the training of AI models and recommendation modules to significantly increase efficiency.
“LoKi paves the way for the widespread use of AI for intelligent industrial production processes. I am convinced of the transformative potential of this project as it will enable easy access to AI-powered data analytics for companies that have no experience with AI training or deployment.
– Timo Grunemann, Senior Scientist, SKZ
“With LoKi, we are paving the way for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and enabling intelligent, data-driven decision-making processes. This project underlines our innovative strength and makes a significant contribution to the industrial transformation of our customers and business partners.
