CAD to ERP Integration

CADLink, powered by QBuild, bridges the gap between your CAD system and Kinetic, streamlining your product design and development processes. Compatible with industry-leading CAD, PLM, and PDM systems, it can simplify how you create Item Master and Bill of Materials (BOM) records, directly mirroring your CAD data with a simple click. This integration is your key to maintaining accurate engineering data, accelerating time-to-market, and reducing costs.

CADLink is compatible with industry-leading CAD Systems like SOLIDWORKS®, Inventor®, AutoCAD®, CATIA®, Solid Edge®, NXTM, and more. It also works with PLM/PDM systems like SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional, PTC WindChill®, Autodesk® Vault Professional, and Siemens Teamcenter®—among others.

Benefits

Reduce Manual Entry

With CADLink's direct integration, engineers can bypass tedious data entry, minimizing errors and ensuring that production utilizes information that mirrors work order documentation. This leads to a more efficient production process and better use of engineering resources.

Improve Data Accuracy

CADLink helps maintain the integrity of your engineering data. By keeping CAD and Kinetic data in sync, you can trust that your BOMs reflect the most current designs, leading to fewer errors and scrapped parts.

Streamline Product Development

Integrating CADLink into your workflow accelerates the product development cycle. It allows for real-time updates and seamless data flow between systems, which can contribute to on-time project completions and faster time-to-market.

Features

Direct CAD Integration

CADLink's direct, two-way link eliminates the need for exporting or importing data files, enhancing efficiency.

Bidirectional Data Push

Keep CAD and Kinetic data consistent to maintain part quantity and material selection accuracy.

Live Data Comparison

Visually review BOM changes before finalizing, and quickly create Kinetic and with a single click, create BOM records that are identical to your drawings.

Discrepancy Notifications

CADLink identifies and alerts users to critical errors before saving, supporting data accuracy.

Powerful Searches

Streamlines the process of finding and inserting non-CAD items into BOMs, improving data completeness.

One-Click Summary Report

Generates a PDF version of BOM, facilitating documentation and export requirements.

Auto Part Numbering

Simplifies part number generation, applying business rules to help ensure accuracy.

Job BOM Integration

Save Job BOM directly, bypass part master/engineering checks, and pick/create job numbers on the fly.

ECN Manager

Facilitates the creation and modification of ECNs within design software, streamlining the ECN process.

Custom Field Mapping

Allows engineers to map custom fields in Kinetic to CAD file properties and code new logic to CADLink.

Powerful Visual Interface

Engineers use CADLink's color-coded visual interface to easily identify and track BOM changes and discrepancies in data.

Optimize BOMs for Production

The optional MBoM module lets engineers reorganize and modify BOMs from CADLink to optimize for manufacturing before pushing to Kinetic.

Streamlined Routing

Offers a simple, intuitive interface to create and assign operations on a BOM.
