CADLink ERP IntegrationConnect CAD With ERP

CADLink runs from your CAD system and takes data directly from the on screen drawing or model and integrates it with your ERP system.

CADLink is a powerful tool that will allow your design engineers to concentrate on design work. Multiple data entry is saved through CADLink’s real time CAD ERP link, allowing designers to access ERP systems including Exact MAX ERP, Infor SyteLine, Infor Visual Manufacturing, Microsoft Dynamics Navision/AX, Epicor 9 Vista/Vantage. Consona Made2Manage/Encompix/Intuitive system data without ever leaving Solidworks, AutoCAD, Inventor and Pro Engineer Wildfire. CADLink can also run from your PLM system: EPDM, PTC WindChill, AutoDesk Vault and soon Team Center.

CADLink Key Features:

  • Real time, two-way link between your CAD software and your ERP system.
  • BOM and Part info interfaced directly from within SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD, Inventor, Altium, PADS, CATIA and Pro Engineer Wildfire.
  • Complete Where Used functionality.
  • Comprehensive Routing interface.
  • Detailed Shop orders, Purchase Orders and Inventory for disposition decisions.
  • Full Effectivity date functionality.
  • Can be integrated with SOLIDWORKS, SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM, and ENOVIA V6 PLM

How can CADLink connect your CAD & ERP systems?

Item Master Management

The Item Master contains important tombstone data such as part number, type, description, etc. The application will pull the information that exists in your ERP system and the model to populate the fields of the form. The designer will be able to modify the data on the interface form.

Bill of Material Management

Bill of material information is taken directly from the assembly model or drawing to populate the fields of the CAD ERP Interface form.The engineer will not be able to add or modify bill of material information without modifying the BOM in your CAD system. Thus in order to add a part, delete a part or change the quantity on the bill of material, that part must be added, deleted or have its quantity changed in SolidWorks first and then saved through the interface.This helps to ensure data integrity between the your CAD system and the ERP system.

Routing Management

CAD ERP Interface optionally provides a simple, convenient interface for adding and modifying ERP routing information. The routing information is pulled from ERP and the designer can make the necessary changes in the interface.

Effectivity Dates

The CAD ERP Interface system can include effectivity date information with the BOM. Using this option, companies can be sure to keep a clear history as well as a future instruction to production on the status of engineering bills of materials.

CAD ERP with Effectivity Dates ensures that your CAD BOM are never deleted they are only ‘zeroed’ using appropriate effective dates and quantities.

Benefits

The CADLink SOLIDWORKS BOM Interface and AutoCAD BOM interface will reduce costs and improve throughput throughout your organization. In particular, you can expect improvements in the following areas:

Eliminate Engineering ERP Clerical Work

With CADLink, your engineering team can focus on what they do best: Engineering. The inefficiency of double and triple data entries is eliminated and engineering information is automatically input into your CAD package and your ERP system in one simplified interface. This reduces costly duplication of effort and frees up engineers to do what they are on staff to do.

Reduce Data Entry Errors

By unifying the data entry process, the CAD ERP Interface eliminates sources of error in your ERP system data. This is a potentially huge cost savings as a single mistake in the bill of materials can lead to ordering errors that result in scrap, excess inventory or late shipment of parts. CADLink SOLIDWORKS Interface ensures against such expensive errors.

Drawing Accuracy and Consistency

The CADLink SOLIDWORKS Interface also ensures that the information on the drawing – descriptions and revisions for example – is identical to the information in your ERP. Accurate information in drawings eliminates confusion. It also reduces errors on the shop floor arising from conflicting information between work orders, sales orders, and drawings, reducing scrap and saving engineering costs in clarification.
