GEDIX: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

GEDIX is a software suite for workshops that run CNC machining centres. Its modules cover the calculation of cutting conditions (COUMAT), tool presetting benches (PRESET), DNC transfer of programs to the machines (PROD), cutting-tool management (TOOL) and workshop supervision (WATCH). A viewer module and a training offer for machining complete the range. The vendor addresses aerospace, automotive, industrial mechanics, armament and screw-machining companies, and states that the system makes sure the correct program reaches the machine.

GEDIX is published by LMBA, headquartered in Lyon, France; the vendor's website names no foreign parent company. According to the vendor, GEDIX data is stored on the company's own server, so this is installed software that you host yourself rather than a cloud service. The website itself is hosted by OVH in France. For a European manufacturer this means that machining programs and production data can stay within its own infrastructure. The site describes no data-processing agreement or GDPR commitment, so ask the vendor about remote maintenance and data-protection terms.

Why digital sovereignty matters with GEDIX

GEDIX is headquartered in France and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

GEDIX runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

GEDIX is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs GEDIX together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
