CADTALK has acquired Elmo Solutions, a competitor with over 30 years in the CAD-ERP integration space. The deal brings two complementary platforms under one brand, with minimal market overlap. CADTALK, founded in 1998, approaches integration from the ERP side. Elmo’s engineering-first perspective adds new capabilities to the combined portfolio. CADTALK CEO Scott Brickler says of the acquisition, “Our shared vision is to eliminate the manual processes that slow down manufacturing and introduce errors, helping our customers achieve unprecedented efficiency in their operations.” Both products will continue operating normally in the near term, with plans to merge the best features of each over time.
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.
How does it work?
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.
