Quebec, Canada, September 12, 2007 – Elmo Solutions, the leader in ERP-CAD data integration, announced Agni Link, its live, biÂdiÂrectional ERP-CAD data integration system, is now compatible with Autodesk Inventor 2008.
Agni Link is a companion to CAD applications such as SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor or AutoCAD that provides real-time, bidirectional integration with ERP/MRP/BPM systems, namely Microsoft Dynamics. Agni Link is the only application of its kind that offers a unique and reliable way to unify SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor or AutoCAD CAD applications and Microsoft Dynamics ERP databases.
Every time a CAD document is saved, the user may edit data shared between CAD and Microsoft Dynamics using possible values obtained “live” from Microsoft Dynamics. Upon end-user confirmation, Item and Bill of Materials data is updated in both the CAD document and the Microsoft Dynamics ERP database, thus ensuring perfect synchronization of both data sets and completely eliminating redundant data entry. Agni Link can process and synchronize a wide range of Bill of Materials data from either CAD or ERP environments, including:
- CAD Part, Component and Assembly data
- Microsoft Dynamics Production Bill of Materials (BoMs) ERP data
- Microsoft Dynamics ERP Routing instructions
Yielding high Return on Investment, Agni Link typically pays for itself in 60-90 days. Elmo Solutions Science Officer, Ricardo Talbot said: “We are very excited about delivering the most advanced and efficient method of sharing Inventor, SolidWorks or AutoCAD and Microsoft Dynamics CAD data. We are especially very happy with our ETO-intensive customers’ response to Elmo’s approach to ERP-CAD data integration, and we are thrilled about this new extension to Agni Link.”
Agni Link is readily available from Elmo Solutions. It not only addresses the needs of Inventor users, but also those of Microsoft Dynamics ERP users, who share product data with them throughout the enterprise. Designed with the end-user in mind, the latest release introduced powerful characteristics such as a new copy and paste feature that allows extremely efficient populating of BoM data directly from the CAD environment, without having to go through the ERP application.
Agni Link’s open architecture can support a wide range of ERP applications, including:
- Microsoft Dynamics/NAV (Navision)
- Microsoft Dynamics/GP (Great Plains)
- Microsoft Dynamics/AX (Axapta)
