Empowering Innovation in Manufacturing
Central Innovation Organisational Capabilities
Your Partner in Manufacturing Innovation
At Central Innovation, we develop smart, complementary software solutions that enhance the systems you already rely on.
Working alongside major platforms like SolidWorks, our tools are purpose-built to fill the critical gaps that standard software doesn’t address — helping engineers work faster, smarter, and with fewer errors.
We partner with manufacturing and design businesses to reduce manual work, improve accuracy, and accelerate product development — all while minimizing risk. Our solutions are designed by engineers, for engineers, to streamline repetitive tasks, automate workflows, and ensure data consistency across every stage of the project.
By bridging the gap between off-the-shelf software and your day-to-day reality, we help you get more from your existing tech stack — and deliver better outcomes with less effort.

Built by Australian Engineers
At Central Innovation, we’ve developed our own suite of in-house tools to solve the specific productivity challenges engineers face every day. These tools are the result of decades of experience working with manufacturing teams to get more from their design software — and from their time.
Built by engineers, for engineers, our solutions help reduce repetitive manual tasks, increase output accuracy, and accelerate the design-to-production process. The result? Faster workflows, fewer errors, and more time for innovation.
The MRP Built for the Next Industrial Revolution
MaXXflow isn’t just another MRP system. It’s a new breed of smart, cloud-native operations platform built from the ground up for Industry 4.0 manufacturers. Where traditional MRP and ERP are slow, rigid and over-engineered, MaXXflow is fast, intelligent and ruthlessly focused on what SMEs actually need: total visibility, confident planning and seamless execution without the enterprise bloat.
Sitting at the heart of the Ci MaXX Ecosystem, MaXXflow brings quoting, materials, inventory, jobs and production control together in one lightweight, intuitive application. It gives SMEs the kind of real-time control and data-driven insight that used to be reserved for Tier 1 enterprises—at a fraction of the cost and complexity.
Fast, Accurate BOM Management – from CAD to ERP
MaXXlink is a cloud-based BOM management platform that eliminates the traditional friction between design and production. Built specifically for manufacturing environments, it allows engineering teams to generate structured, validated Manufacturing BOMs (M-BOMs) from their Engineering BOMs (E-BOMs) in minutes — not days.
MaXXlink is the dedicated BOM engine of the Ci MaXX Ecosystem, turning raw engineering intent into clean, production-ready data. It takes BOMs straight from CAD, structures and validates them, then pushes them into your ERP/MRP so purchasing and production can move with confidence. For SMEs, it delivers the kind of accuracy, speed and traceability in BOM management that previously demanded heavy customisation and manual effort—without the enterprise price tag or complexity.
Automate CAD Workflows to Maximize Engineering Time
#Task is a powerful batch processing tool built for SolidWorks users. Designed to eliminate repetitive manual tasks, #Task allows engineers to automate entire workflows — processing thousands of files in a fraction of the time.
#Task is the automation engine for your SolidWorks environment, quietly taking care of the repetitive work that slows engineers down. It batches and standardises everyday tasks like file admin, property updates, drawing and PDF/DXF publishing, so entire jobs run in the background while your team focuses on design and problem-solving. For SMEs, it delivers the kind of consistency, speed and quality control you’d expect from a highly scripted enterprise environment—without needing a developer or changing the way your engineers like to work.
