Enhanced CAD PDM PLM Connector for Dynamics 365 Now Shipping

Elmo Solutions announces an enhanced release of the Agni Link CAD PDM PLM Integration System for Microsoft Dynamics 365. The leader in engineering data integration has begun shipping a connector for Agni Link (https://elmosolutions.com/agni-link/), its live, bidirectional CAD PDM PLM to ERP data integration system, that will provide support for Microsoft Dynamics 365 finance & Operations and Dynamics 365 Business Central on both Cloud and On-Premise platforms.

The new connectors will allow live, bidirectional integration between Dynamics 365 ERP platforms and a number of CAD/PDM/PLM applications, including: 

  • SOLIDWORKS
  • SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional, Enterprise PDM (EPDM)
  • AutoCAD and its various “flavors” (Mechanical, Electrical, etc.)
  • Autodesk Revit
  • Autodesk Inventor
  • Autodesk Vault
  • Solid Edge
  • PTC Windchill

"The Agni Link connectors for Dynamics 365 are a natural evolution of our existing Dynamics NAV and Dynamics AX connectors, which were first introduced in 2007. This represents an important milestone for the Elmo Solutions family of products,” says Science Officer Ricardo Talbot. "The Elmo Solutions development team is poised to providing the most powerful and dependable CAD/PDM/PLM-to-ERP integration solution to its Microsoft Dynamics ERP users. Knowing Agni Link is a Dynamics 365--compatible product will reassure these users they are achieving a very high level of productivity when using Agni Link and Microsoft.”

Agni Link is a companion to CAD, PDM and PLM applications that provides seamless, real-time, bidirectional connectivity with ERP systems. It's the only application of it's kind that offers a unique and reliable way to integrate CAD and ERP data. It automatically resolves discrepancies, and allows editing of engineering data using possible values obtained "live" from the Dynamics 365 ERP system, thus ensuring perfect synchronization of both data sets and completely eliminating redundant data entry as well as eliminating costly errors. Agni Link can process and synchronize a wide range of product data from either environment, including:

  • Bills of Materials (BoMs)
  • Jobs
  • Estimating
  • Sales Quotes
  • Change Management
  • Business Process Management (BPM) data
  • Work Orders
  • Production Orders
  • Production Schedules
  • Product Catalogs
  • Product Configurations
  • Parts Catalogs
  • Technical Documentation
  • Supply Chain Data
  • Document Management

Agni Link addresses the needs of CAD, PDM, PLM and Dynamics 365 ERP users sharing product data throughout the enterprise. Designed with the end-user in mind, it includes powerful characteristics such as:

  • An Integration Dashboard that allows validation of BoM data directly from the CAD environment
  • A Configuration Builder that enables customers to create and edit an unlimited number of mappings.

Established in 1979, Elmo Solutions is a world class leader in CAD-ERP data integration, with users in over 50 countries.
