CADTALK CEO Scott Brickler recently traveled to Japan to advance the company’s growing international partner network, meeting with IFS partners and exploring opportunities across the region’s discrete manufacturing market. The visit reflects CADTALK’s continued investment in its global IFS partnership footprint, as manufacturers across Japan increasingly look for purpose-built solutions to automate the handoff between engineering and ERP systems. Japan’s strong base of industrial machinery, automotive, and precision manufacturing companies makes it a natural fit for CADTALK’s CAD-to-ERP integration platform. Partner Success Manager Matthew Bui also attended, marking his first visit to Japan and his first in-person meeting with the CADTALK leadership team.

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.
