Introduction to Bills of Materials for Engineers In this article, we explore bills of materials (BOMs) and formulas. Bills of materials are essential for defining products their variants. Bills of material are primarily used for discrete manufacturing where there are defined quantities of items used in production. For example, capital equipment, fabricated metal products, electronics, […]
CAD stands for Computer-Aided Design. It is simply software or technology enabled with functions for designing products and documenting the design process across many industries. It is highly useful in disciplines like mechanical design, industrial design, aerospace engineering, robotics, automotive design and architecture. CAD improves designer productivity, therefore product designers use it to create unique designs, product […]
What is Computer Aided Manufacturing and what are its Applications? The introduction of digital and computer technologies has been widely regarded as the Third Industrial Revolution. With the current trends, it is conceivable that humanity is now on the verge of a Fourth Industrial Revolution which builds on digital innovations and assimilates critical aspects such […]
BOM (Bill of Materials) is a comprehensive list of raw materials, components, intermediate assemblies and sub-assemblies sold through a supplier and needed to construct, manufacture or repair an item or service. A bill of materials usually appears in a graded format, with the highest level showing the finished product and the lowest level showing individual […]
If you are like most engineering companies in the manufacturing industry, then you pride yourselves on being innovative, customer-focused, and cost conscious. However, being the latter also means you have a modest budget to spend on process improvements each year. Consequently, you’re always looking for ways to get the most out of the technology that […]
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.
CADTALK is an IFS Gold Solutions Partner and the official partner for IFS Cloud.
