Since the introduction of Computer-Aided Design (CAD), manufacturing firms utilizing CAD, PLM software, and systems like ERP and MRP have significantly invested in generating and maintaining both data (graphic or geometric information) and metadata (non-geometric objects). However, much of this investment is often wasted due to a lack of effective tools for extracting valuable metadata trapped in technical documents. This is where the Elmo Series of data integration solutions for PLM/CAD/PDM and ERP/MRP/CRM comes into play, enabling users to extract and leverage otherwise inaccessible metadata. Our leading solution, Agni Link, is the most sophisticated CAD-ERP data integration tool on the market. It works as an add-in for CAD/PDM platforms like SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and AutoCAD (supporting most variations), facilitating bidirectional integration with a broad array of ERP/MRP systems. Its real-time, interactive integration process ensures that CAD data is accurately validated before updating the ERP database, thereby maintaining the integrity of both CAD and ERP data systems at all times.
