PTC Creo integration

CADTALK ERP is an off-the-shelf, bi-directional integration between PTC Creo and your ERP. It reads the Creo BOM as the baseline product structure and transforms it into manufacturing-ready items, BOMs, and routings.

CADTALK builds the whole manufacturing structure, not just a copy of the BOM. Your rules can create routing operations, calculate run and labor hours, add notes, and place each material at the operation where it's consumed. Engineers review the result against the live ERP, with change review and effectivity dates, before anything is written.

If your Creo data lives in Windchill, CADTALK reads it there. See the Windchill PDM and Windchill PLM pages (links once live).

Key PTC Creo integration features

Reads the Creo BOM, including phantom parts, as the baseline product structure.
Rules create routing operations, calculate run and labor hours, and add notes as the structure is built.
Places each material at the specific operation that consumes it, not just on the BOM header.
One interface for items, materials, subassemblies, BOMs, and routings, with live compare, merge, and update against the ERP.
Change review and effectivity dates before anything is written.
Supports engineer-to-order: copies the Creo BOM into a project-linked job BOM and keeps it updated.

Why getting Creo and your ERP talking pays off

Creo assemblies are often deep and complex. Turning them into a routed manufacturing structure by hand means entering operations, run hours, and material placement line by line, and that's where the hours go.

Automation, not just a data copy

Rules build the operations and run hours, so planners review a finished structure instead of building it.

Materials where production uses them

Each material lands at its operation, so the ERP knows when it's needed, not just that it's needed.

Built for engineer-to-order

CADTALK copies the Creo BOM into the project-linked job and keeps it updated while engineering finishes.

How CADTALK works with PTC Creo

Step 1: Read

CADTALK reads the Creo BOM, with phantom parts, as the baseline structure. From there, rules build operations, run hours, and material placement, and you compare against the live ERP before anything is written.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CADTALK support ECC Control? Yes CADTALK supports the ECC Control
How does CADTALK ERP handle revisions in SYSPRO?
CADTALK compares revisions in CAD/PDM/PLM with SYPRO Version or release field and merges the necessary changes.
How does CADTALK ERP support uploading media like images and PDF drawings to SYSPRO?
CADTALK supports uploading images and documents to SYSPRO both manually and automatically through the intelligence engine.
What fields does CADTALK ERP support in SYSPRO?
CADTALK supports every field on SYSPRO Stock Codes, Structures and Routings, including Custom form Fields, and other areas like Supplier Cross References, Warehouses, and Manufacturers.
Does CADTALK ERP add parts to the SYSPRO structures that are not in the CAD/PDM/PLM System?
Yes, users can use the CADTALK intelligence engine and the interface to search SYSPRO and add non-CAD parts to the bill of material.
Does CADTALK require a CAD license?
No, CADTALK can read most CAD files without a CAD license

Frequently Asked Questions

Can rules put materials on the right routing operation?

Yes. The rules engine places each material at the operation it's consumed at, creates the operations, and calculates run hours as it builds the structure.

We're engineer-to-order. Can CADTALK update our job BOMs, not just a standard BOM?

Yes. CADTALK copies the Creo BOM into the project-linked job and updates that job BOM. Standard and template BOMs work too.

Our Creo data is managed in Windchill. Does that change anything?

CADTALK reads it from Windchill. See the Windchill pages for how that works.
