CAD Connector

The CAD Connector application was created for manufacturing companies that plan production based on data transferred from design and technology teams in the form of a bill of materials (BOM). The main task of the CAD Connector application is to integrate any CAD / PDM / PLM environment with the ERP system - Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The application allows for processing the imported product structure (construction BOM), and what's more - it automates standard tasks, preparing data for production needs.

CAD/ERP integration for efficient production planning

The growing complexity of manufactured products is associated with many problems at the stage of the production preparation process. Before a machine, sometimes consisting of hundreds or thousands of components, reaches the production departments, it must first be processed from a flat structure of the bill of materials from the CAD system to the so-called production BOM. This task can be very laborious. Considering the time that a planner would spend on transferring the structure to the system manually, the cost of starting production and the number of errors made can be simply high, which in turn translates into the price of the finished product. Especially for companies that face this problem every day, we have designed a tool that will receive and process the entire product structure, creating inventory and production BOMs ready to be ordered for production.

CAD Connector Benefits

Data consistency

Thanks to integration via modern REST API, the product structure is sent to ERP automatically.

Saving time

The time needed to prepare the complete product structure for material procurement and production can be reduced by up to 100%.

No errors

We have reduced the number of errors associated with manual entry of the structure into the ERP system to zero.

Data validation

Already at the stage of sending the structure to ERP, automatic validation of the correctness of the sent structure can take place, thanks to which the designer can immediately obtain information about its correctness.

Error handling

Errors will always appear at the design stage. Our solution, as part of advanced case configuration, is able to verify the correctness of the submitted structure at the input.

Automation

You no longer have to create new inventory or assembly BOMs and finally production BOMs in the ERP system manually. CAD Connector can create them automatically.

Parameterization

Each field in the import is configurable, so we can achieve complete freedom in the business logic of data processing.

Versioning

Each version change or structure revision is entered into the ERP system as a new version, giving the planner insight into the full design history of the product.
