Bringing Vision to Engineering and ERP/MRP Data Integration
The new Elmo BoM 2006 will attract not only AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Mechanical, Mechanical Desktop and SolidWorks users, but also their coworkers, especially those who use in MRP and ERP systems.
Elmo BoM's numerous benefits include:
Bills of Materials can be automatically updated by using Elmo BoM in batch mode periodically
Fast and efficient extraction of metadata (non-graphic data) from CAD documents
All metadata is extracted in one single operation
A convenient built-in viewer allows previewing of exported data
Elmo BoM 2006 is the only solution of its kind that allows the extraction and export, in one single unattended operation, of the exact composition of each single Autodesk block, assembly or sub-assembly, as well as the contents of all the attributes and document properties contained in each component, including User-Defined properties.
Although batch-export of Mechanical Desktop and AutoCAD Mechanical Bill of Materials (BOMs) is supported, predefined Parts Lists are not required to allow extraction and export of BOMs, which are presented by Elmo BoM as a single file that can in turn be read by other applications such as Excel, Access, or directly imported into ERP / MRP applications, thus ensuring the desired synchronization of data produced by all processes: engineering, production, costing, etc.
Elmo BoM 2006 began shipping on October 15, 2006 in 2 languages: English and French.
