Bringing Vision to Engineering and ERP/MRP Data Integration
Since the inception of Computer-Aided Design(CAD), organizations using CAD and PLM software as well as ERP and MRP systems have made a tremendous investment in the creation and maintenance of data (graphic, or geometric, information) and metadata (non-geometric objects).
Unfortunately, too often, the greater part of this investment is lost, mainly because of the absence of adequate and efficient tools to get the most out of metadata imprisoned in technical documents. That's where the Elmo Series of PLM/CAD/PDM and ERP/MRP/CRM data integration solutions comes in, empowering real people with the capability to harvest and harness otherwise unusable metadata.
Elmo Solutions' software offering currently consists of 3 outstanding products:
Formerly known as Elmo Link, Agni Link is the outstanding companion product to your SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor or AutoCAD application that brings a live, bidirectional link between your CAD system and your ERP, MRP, BPM, CRM or other system. By virtually eliminating redundant multiple data entry, it typically pays for itself in 60-90 days. Agni Link can process not only parts and components data, but also bills of materials and routing schedules.
The leading-edge enterprise search engine that quickly indexes and retrieves CAD documents as well as supporting documents such as MS-Office, PDF, XML, HTML, and even eMail documents, for as little as a nickel per document. Typically pays for itself entirely within 45-60 days.
A cost-effective, powerful utility that can extract all of the structured metadata it can find within a wide variety of CAD documents and send it to a wide variety of systems such as ERP, MRP, estimating, planned maintenance, etc., in one single operation. Applications for Elmo BoM include bills of materials, parts catalogs, price lists, activity reports, and many more.
The Elmo Series is the brainchild of the Elmo Solutions R+D team, strong of over 20 years experience in the integration of CAD/PLM applications and ERP and MRP systems. Those quality-obsessed people have designed the entire series around a most important feature that is often left out in the PLM industry: the customer's freedom of choice.
