Streamline Your Engineering Design Process
You can reduce rework, minimize scrap, and work more efficiently when you use CADLink to establish a fully automated, two-way connection between Infor SyteLine ERP Industrial and your CAD system. You’ll also be able to shrink engineering costs dramatically—most CADLink customers achieve payback within six months. The real-time, two-way channel CADLink creates between engineering design and Infor SyteLine ERP Industrial takes data directly from the drawing or model and integrates that information with Infor SyteLine ERP Industrial.

Integrate Infor SyteLine ERP Industrial with Your Favorite CAD Package
CADLink provides a two-way integration between Infor SyteLine ERP Industrial and the most popular CAD systems, including:
- AutoCAD®
- NXTM
- Inventor®
- Creo® (formerly Pro/E®)
- SolidWorks®
By allowing you to automatically exchange routing data and bill of materials (BOM) items with Infor SyteLine ERP Industrial, CADLink eliminates the manual re-entry of data. As a result, you’ll be able to improve accuracy, increase speed, and build a more efficient engineering and manufacturing process.

Engineer more efficiently
Don’t waste valuable engineering resources with laborious, error-prone data re-entry tasks. With CADLink, you can make your preferred CAD platform a natural extension of the Infor SyteLine ERP Industrial software you already rely on to optimize your manufacturing operations. As a result, you’ll be able get more done with less effort and free up engineers to do what they do best.
Improve engineering focus for better results
■ Eliminate engineering clerical work—With CADLink, your engineering team can focus on what they do best. You’ll be able to eliminate double and triple data entries because engineering information moves simultaneously between your CAD package and your ERP system. This frees up engineering staff to do more engineering, reducing your costs.
■ Reduce data entry errors—By unifying the data entry process, CADLink eliminates sources of error in your ERP system data. This is a potentially huge cost savings as a single mistake in the bill of materials will eventually lead to ordering errors that result in either scrap, excess inventory, or late shipment
of parts.

Ensure accuracy
By combining Infor SyteLine ERP Industrial with CADLink and your preferred CAD package, you’ll be able to ensure a vastly higher degree of accuracy between your design process and manufacturing operations. That’s because you’ll eliminate error-prone manual steps required to reconcile information between the systems. You’ll also improve your ability to make plans and execute those plans, because all relevant systems will contain consistent, accurate, up-to-date information. Put all that together and you get faster performance and better results.
