In many manufacturing companies, the handoff between engineering (CAD/PLM) and operations (ERP) becomes a real bottleneck: design data is re-entered manually, revisions fall out of sync, and building items, BOMs, and routings takes too long. Epicor CADLink addresses this gap by enabling automated data transfer between CAD/PLM systems and Epicor Kinetic (Epicor ERP), so the path from design to production becomes faster and far more consistent.
In this customer testimonial asset, Epicor features Matrix Design, highlighting their use of CADLink to automatically transfer data between their CAD/PLM environment and Epicor Kinetic (presented as a video).
What is Epicor CADLink?
Epicor CADLink is an integration solution that connects CAD/PLM with Epicor Kinetic, allowing engineering data to flow into ERP automatically, reducing rework and accelerating the engineering-to-manufacturing handover.
Business value you typically feel first
Based on CADLink’s core purpose, automating CAD/PLM ↔ ERP data transfer, the practical outcomes manufacturers usually target include:
- Less manual re-entry of design data into ERP
- Faster time-to-production by removing admin-heavy handoffs
- Improved data consistency between engineering and operations
- Lower risk of revision mismatches when designs change
Who benefits most from CADLink?
CADLink is highly relevant for ERP for Manufacturing and Distribution organizations that:
- rely heavily on CAD/PLM (engineered-to-order, custom manufacturing, or frequent design changes), and
- want engineering data to reach Epicor Kinetic (Epicor ERP) quickly and consistently, without repetitive manual steps.
If you’re running Epicor Kinetic (Epicor ERP) and want to accelerate engineering-to-manufacturing execution, KANO, as an Epicor consulting partner in Indonesia can help assess your current CAD/PLM data flow, define integration scope, and build a pragmatic Implementasi Epicor Kinetic roadmap so data moves faster with stronger control.
