ERP Integration for Shipbuilding CAD/CAM Systems
Topgallant® ERP Connector connects shipbuilding CAD/CAM and ERP systems to synchronize engineering and production data, automate design-change transfer and reduce production errors.
Unreported design changes can lead to extensive rework with resulting cost and schedule overruns. The Topgallant® ERP Connector solution avoids these problems by integrating and distributing design and production information quickly and effectively between CAD and ERP Systems.
Topgallant® ERP Connector transfers data from a design system to a manufacturing system, integrating the information and providing the user with a complete overview. ERP Connector monitors data files from the CAD (or nesting) system and determines whether there is an initial transfer or a significant design change requiring processing. For new changes, ERP Connector creates the production-relevant data sets to be transferred into the ERP system.
ERP Connector offers several important advantages:
- Provides a system overview from design to production
- Automates analysis and identification of design changes
- Connects to multiple CAD/CAM systems and includes browser application
- Supports parallel processes for multiple projects
- Is platform independent
