Configit Cited in 2026 Gartner Hype Cycle for Manufacturing Tech

The report emphasizes a broader industry shift as manufacturers transition from engineer-to-order models toward configure-to-order processes. This evolution is driven by the need to manage increasingly complex product variants while meeting consumer demand for high levels of customization. Configit’s platform, anchored by its proprietary Virtual Tabulation technology, provides a central data backbone designed to handle this logic with deterministic accuracy.

Beyond basic configuration, the inclusion in the Product Rejuvenation category reflects a growing market focus on sustainability and product longevity. As manufacturers adopt modular designs to support hardware upgrades and asset reuse, they require verified databases of existing product configurations. CEO Johan Salenstedt noted that the dual recognition validates the company’s focus on scalable, mature solutions, particularly as they integrate AI-driven tools like Configit Ace Prompt to assist manufacturers in maintaining equipment and extending operational lifecycles.
