Elmo Link Impacts Part Component and Assembly Data
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.”
Elmo Link can process and synchronize a wide range of data from either side, including, but not limited to:
Part/Component/Assembly data: When any component, subassembly or assembly is processed, Elmo Link determines where appropriate metadata is sent, and updates it accordingly
Bills Of Materials: When an assembly or subassembly is being edited, a new updated Bill of Materials is produced, and sent to the MRP/ERP system, thus ensuring immediate and permanent consistency between PLM/CAD and MRP/ERP metadata
Routing instructions: Editing a drawing of a component or assembly automatically brings a scrolling list that shows the current manufacturing steps for that component. The end-user may then add or remove steps, as well as alter the sequence of operations at will. When done, an updated routing table is sent to the MRP system, and a copy is automatically inserted into the drawing
