Inventor - ERP Connection

ERP interfacing with Autodesk Inventor: more control, less manual labor Direct interfacing between Autodesk Inventor and an ERP system offers tremendous benefits to manufacturing companies looking to streamline their engineering and production processes. Instead of manually retyping parts lists or duplicating revisions, an automated link provides seamless data exchange between CAD and ERP. This increases accuracy, speeds up the process and significantly reduces the risk of errors.

Commonly used ERP systems in the Netherlands

The ERP connection with Inventor is possible with almost all modern systems common in the Netherlands. Think of big names such as SAP, Isah, Ridder iQ, Trimergo, Exact Globe, Microsoft Dynamics (NAV/AX/365) and Unit4. Thanks to smart, configurable interfaces, customization is often no longer necessary, and existing processes can be retained.

How does the Bill of Materials (BOM) application work?

Autodesk Inventor automatically generates a bill of materials (BOM) based on the 3D model. Through the PDM environment (for example, Autodesk Vault), this BOM is enriched with metadata, version numbers and material information. The BOM application ensures that only approved data is exported to the ERP system. This is often done on the basis of triggers, such as releasing an assembly, after which the parts list is automatically and error-free created in the ERP.

The benefits at a glance

  • Time savings. No more double entry - changes are automatically synchronized.
  • Fewer errors. No manual takeover means less chance of typos or forgotten parts.
  • Faster production. Shorter lead time from engineering to job preparation and production.
  • Better traceability. All data is consistent and centrally available to all departments.
  • Higher customer satisfaction. Faster delivery times and more reliable production processes.
A good link between CAD and ERP is not a luxury, but a strategic investment in efficient and error-free operations.
