Teamcenter integration

CADTALK ERP is an off-the-shelf, bi-directional integration between Siemens Teamcenter and your ERP. It reads the product structure engineering releases in Teamcenter (items, item revisions, BOM views, and every standard and custom property) and transforms the engineering BOM into manufacturing-ready items, BOMs, and routings.

CADTALK reads Teamcenter through its own REST services (Teamcenter SOA). The CADTALK host needs no Teamcenter Rich Client installed, and nothing is custom-built on the platform. If the REST services don't fit your environment, CADTALK can read a Teamcenter PLM XML export instead.

Key Teamcenter integration features

  • Reads Teamcenter items, item revisions, and BOM views through Teamcenter's REST services. No exports required, no custom development.
  • Reads every Teamcenter property, standard and custom, so your ERP fields map from the attributes engineering already maintains.
  • Release status decides what moves. Only items in the lifecycle state you choose, such as Released, go to the ERP.
  • Runs on a schedule, on a Teamcenter status change, or on demand.
  • Reads Teamcenter unit and occurrence effectivity and turns it into the structure your ERP uses, such as product structure alternates in IFS Cloud.
  • Runs on a standard Windows server, with no Teamcenter client required.

Why getting Teamcenter and your ERP talking pays off

Teamcenter holds the product record engineering releases. The ERP holds the one production runs on. Between the two, someone re-keys item numbers, descriptions, quantities, and revision levels, often across several sites.

Release status, respected

Only what engineering has released in Teamcenter reaches the ERP, so production never builds from a design that's still in work.

Change that reaches the floor

When a revision is released in Teamcenter, CADTALK identifies the delta and merges it into the ERP. Purchasing and production see the change without anyone hunting for it.

No duplicate maintenance

Stop keeping parallel data in Teamcenter and the ERP.

How CADTALK works with Teamcenter

Step 1: Read

CADTALK reads the released product structure through Teamcenter's REST services, using the revision rule you choose. Item IDs, descriptions, quantities, find numbers, units of measure, revision levels, and custom attributes come across as engineering defined them.

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

Does CADTALK need a Teamcenter client installed?

No. CADTALK reads Teamcenter through its REST services, so the CADTALK host needs no Rich Client installed.

What has to be set up on the Teamcenter side?

CADTALK runs on a standard Windows server that can reach both Teamcenter and the ERP. Separate network subnets are fine as long as they're routed. No custom development on the Teamcenter platform.

Will CADTALK work with our Teamcenter version and database?

Reading through the REST services works directly. If there's any question about your version or database platform, CADTALK can read a Teamcenter PLM XML export instead, which takes the database out of the equation.

 

Can CADTALK handle effectivity?

Yes. CADTALK reads unit and occurrence effectivity from Teamcenter and its rules turn it into the structure your ERP expects, such as product structure alternates in IFS Cloud.
