6 Benefits of CAD and ERP Bill of Material IntegrationThe mission-critical stages of product lifecycle management covers a wide variety of disciplines and tasks including bills of material, prototype development, and inventory control relying heavily on multiple disparate technologies including CAD and ERP programs. For most manufacturers, the data inside their CAD application and the […]
CADTALK for IFS Cloud uses artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the transfer of engineering bills of materials (eBOM) from virtually any CAD, PDM, or PLM application into IFS Cloud for manufacturing routing. All of this can be done in minutes, reducing the handoff from engineering to manufacturing by 80% with a return on investment in about two months.
CADTALK generates bills of materials, routing operations, items, inventory records, and other data inside IFS Cloud. Support for document management, materials and routings is possible right out of the box. CADTALK creates ongoing bi-directional dialog between systems to take design intent to complex manufacturing execution seamlessly.
As the official partner for IFS Cloud, CADTALK implementation is fast and no customization is required.
