Bidirectional Cad-to-erp/mrp Interface

The newest member of the Elmo family, Elmo Link provides the most advanced way to ensure perfect synchronization between CAD/PLM and MRP/ERP data.

Elmo Link ERP-CAD interface's numerous benefits include:

• MRP data always in-sync with CAD data

• Very fast ROI - typically pays for itself in less than 60 days

• No more redundant data entry

• Elimination of costly errors on the shop floor

• Handles Parts, Bills of Materials, Routing, and more to come

• Easy to learn, easy to use: total installation and training time is less typically than 30 minutes


According to Ricardo Talbot, Chief Science Officer with Elmo Solutions, “Elmo Link is the only software application of its kind that offers such a unique and reliable way to unify CAD/PLM and MRP/ERP databases, while supporting such a wide range of CAD platforms. Upon saving a drawing, component or assembly for the first time, and at any moment afterwards, the user may enter and/or edit CAD data using possible values taken "live" from the MRP/ERP application. Upon end-user confirmation, the data is updated in both the PLM/CAD document and the MRP database, thus ensuring perfect synchronization of both data sets, and completely eliminating redundant data entry.”
