PDM/CAD - ERP Integration
Data integration for maximum produtivity
The areas of application of ERP and PDM systems are often overlapping. On the one hand ERP systems are increasingly used in some traditional areas of PDM systems. On the other hand, the pure PDM
functionality is not sufficient for a universal support of the product development process any more. Overlapping functions and
data require mechanisms that protect the
consistency of the data from development to production and at the same avoid redundant inputs.
Rising requirements need process-oriented standards
Rising requirements cause the use of process-oriented standards for product data communication. The process-oriented integration of the two big autonomous IT applications PDM and ERP is an
essential precondition for a successful process optimisation.
Development and construction data has to be available for processes in
distribution, purchase and manufacturing. An effective
coupling of the tasks from offer to construction and manufacturing
up to delivery is the key to efficient processes.
Perfect collaboration
The perfect collaboration between development and manufacturing is critically important for successful enterprises. Axelion
helps you to implement interfaces between PDM and CAD systems and your
ERP system which guarantee data exchange between
development and manufacturing as well as departments like
service, servicing, distribution and marketing.
ERP integration enables the automated hand over of all product information
from the PDM and CAD systems like article master data, bills of material, assembly structures,
parts lists and CAD models completely to the ERP system.
Costs and processing times in the product development are decreased by the integration of PDM/CAD and ERP systems.
