Agni Link enhances the efficiency of transferring Bills of Materials by providing an add-in compatible with a range of CAD/PDM/PLM software, including options from Autodesk, SOLIDWORKS, PTC (like Creo and Windchill), and Siemens (such as Solid Edge and Teamcenter), among others. By consolidating data from various isolated information sources into a singular data object, it greatly simplifies the workflow. Users can easily set up clear rules for the automatic resolution of discrepancies in real time, which ensures a smooth experience that is both precise and reliable—this embodies the Elmo promise. If at any point the mappings or functionalities do not meet your expectations, you can customize them without any need for programming expertise. Research shows that in an Engineer-To-Order (ETO) setting, the manual transfer of data from the engineering team to the manufacturing floor can consume up to 25% of overall engineering resources. Moreover, relying on traditional export-import methods proves to be only slightly more efficient. The key to drastically cutting down on this wastage of intellectual resources lies in adopting bidirectional, real-time data validation and population, a feature that Agni Link adeptly provides. This cutting-edge solution not only boosts productivity but also promotes a more cohesive operational workflow while empowering teams to work more collaboratively.
