Luminovo opens its supply chain platform to AI assistants

What happened

On November 12, 2026, German software company Luminovo announced it is opening its platform for electronics quoting and procurement to AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and Microsoft Copilot. The connection uses the open standard Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing EMS providers and electronics manufacturers to query their own supply chain data in plain language and build their own tools on top of it; an assistant can read a company's data in Luminovo, such as BOMs, quotes and supplier contracts, together with live market prices, lead times and supplier information. According to the company, EMS provider Omega EMS can now quote a complex BOM in about 20 minutes instead of half a day, and Luminovo says that in its own business cases, electronics manufacturers using the platform typically save 3-5% of their electronics spend. The MCP connection is available in beta to selected customers on request, starting at electronica in Munich this week.
