Tebis SmartOps wins 2026 German Innovation Award

Despite stiff competition, SmartOps took home a “Winner” level award in the “Excellence in Business-to-Business – Information Technologies | Functional Software” category—impressive recognition of its role as a game-changer in industrial manufacturing.

With SmartOps, Tebis takes CAD/CAM to a whole new level: Complex individual processes give way to one scalable, automated end-to-end workflow, significantly reducing the workload for companies while also enhancing their capabilities. The results are greater speed, greater safety, and maximum control over the entire process.

With SmartOps, Tebis provides solutions to meet key industry challenges—from the skilled labor shortage to growing numbers of different product variants—and paves the way for industrial CAD/CAM automation for lots of size one.

The German Design Council’s award recognizes that SmartOps stands for true innovation, involving both impressive technology and measurable added value in practice.

The key: Rather than residing in individuals' minds, know-how is systematically digitalized, standardized, and made available throughout the company. This makes it possible to meet even highly complex requirements efficiently, reliably, and flexibly—without any additional programming effort.

The benefits speak for themselves:

• Significant reduction of time and effort for manufacturing preparation
• Shorter throughput times from the CAD model to the finished part
• Significant workload reduction for skilled employees
• Scalable processes for growing demands
