ARENA PLM

CADTALK PLM

Overview

Go from engineering to manufacturing 5x faster!

Here’s the problem!

You are a manufacturing company, and you do lots of engineering work. You create new and update existing items and bills of material (BOMs). You are doing this work today manually or, at best, you have a multi-step workflow that requires a spreadsheet, macros, and an import or copy and paste routine. Or worse, you tried another integration that didn't live up to the hype!

That process costs you up to $100,000 per year in data entry, BOM errors, rework expenses, and demoralizing your staff who would rather spend time designing and manufacturing than entering data. When a $1.00 Bill of Material mistake can cost up to 100X more if it gets to the customer and when engineering services are billed at $130 per hour, it does not take long to see that the current process won’t work anymore.

It’s time to get your engineering and manufacturing talking.... with CADTALK PLM!

HOW IT WORKS

CADTALK PLM is a completely off-the-shelf, intelligent, bi-directional integration between your CAD, PDM and Arena. CADTALK PLM reads data from any CAD and PDM application transforming the engineering bill of materials (eBOM) into Arena items and bills of material.

As an always current partner with PTC Arena, CADTALK PLM creates new and updates existing Arena items and bills of material between CAD/PDM and Arena items, bills of material and attachments while identifying and tracking the changes between CAD and Arena stock items and bills of material.

CADTALK PLM is so much more than an import and mapping utility. The CADTALK framework offers standardized, in-depth integrations coupled with expression-based, low-code, configurable intelligence that gives you the power to integrate your systems in hours and days rather than months and years. CADTALK PLM focuses on the entire engineering to manufacturing hand-off by supporting every aspect of the bill of material from items, BOMs, attachments, vendors, manufacturers and more.

Bundled with CADTALK DFM, you will eliminate manual data entry, reduce errors, and get more value out of your PTC Arena with accurate and consistent data transformation.
