CADLink for EPLAN
CADLink is a real-time, bi-directional CAD-ERP integration tool that synchronizes both EPLAN and ERP systems. With just a click, it effortlessly creates, compares, and modifies BOM and item data.
#1 – Eliminate clerical work
With CADLink, new EPLAN BOM data can be input and updated to your ERP with just a few clicks. It can also read your raw material information from your EPLAN to add materials to the BOM in your ERP. Leave all the clerical work to CADLink and let your design engineers concentrate on design work without spending most of their engineering time on manual data input.
#2 – Draw comparison on one interface
CADLink enables a comprehensive comparison of all components and properties, including item number, description, and quantity, with the corresponding items and BOMs using a color-coded BOM grid. It visualizes the difference between your original EPLAN BOM and new BOM data within a single interface.
#3 – Reduce errors and discrepancy
CADLink synchronizes your BOMs and items with your EPLAN data and your ERP system to minimize errors and inaccuracies. It validates your data, highlighting any issues in red and ensuring only valid data is saved to the ERP, accompanied by error messages. This capability helps prevent unnecessary costs arising from scrap parts, shop floor confusions, inventory errors and purchasing inaccuracies.
#4 – Auto updates to both systems
CADLink operates bi-directionally for EPLAN, ensuring that new values are seamlessly pushed from EPLAN Integration Suite and saved to both your ERP item master and back to your EPLAN properties. You do not need to switch between EPLAN and ERP systems to make any changes.
#5 – High visibility
We enhance your ability to view CAD data without going back and forth between CADLink and EPLAN. The "BOM Change" tab allows you to review all changes before saving to your ERP system, providing a shortlist of modifications. Additionally, you can effortlessly view CAD model properties in the "CAD Properties" tab without navigating to each model.
