Integrate and synchronize your CAD data with CADLink for VISUAL Manufacturing.

CADLink_Infor_Bidirectional

CADLink for Visual Manufacturing allows engineers to create Part Master and Engineering Master records in your ERP identical to engineering CAD data with the click of a button.

The direct integration eliminates manual data entry and clerical errors. Production and Purchasing and other downstream ERP users benefit from accurate drawing information identical to Engineering Master (EM) documentation.

Increase the speed of data flow from sales to engineering, procurement, and manufacturing. Streamlining the entire product development process by integrating your CAD systems (such as SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD, CREO, Altium, DxDesigner, CATIA, etc.) and your ERP solution gives you the edge in the competitive market. CADLink will free up your engineering staff to do more engineering and reduce your engineering costs. The less time they spend inputting data across multiple platforms, the more time they can invest on projects and designs.
