Reduction in Labor Costs
Typical reductions data entry costs after CADTALK implementations are 70-90%. Companies with high engineering activity see ROI of 3 months or less in time savings
CADTALK ERP Integration with Infor CSI (Syteline)
Summary
CADTALK ERP Integration with Infor CSI (Syteline)
Integrate CAD/PLM with Infor CSI
Overview
Accelerate the engineering to manufacturing hand-off
Accelerate the engineering to manufacturing hand-off by leveraging artificial intelligence to transform the engineering bill of material (eBOM) from CAD/PDM/PLM applications into manufacturing bills of material (mBOM), routings, items, inventory records, and other data inside Infor CloudSuite Industrial. CADTALK works bidirectionally keeping data in both systems in sync while providing advanced features to add manufacturing operations, calculate manufacturing cycle times, and even determine estimated scrap on jobs. It can also select the best vendor and warehouse location for each bill of material and routing.
Features and Benefits
Shortening Lead Time to Customers
Lead time reduction activities yield additional benefits to companies. Companies that deliver faster consistently have a competitive advantage in the market. Having the ability to deliver faster allows premium pricing and improved margins. Companies that focus on on lead time reduction also see a reduction in overall production costs

BOM Accuracy
Product definition like items and bill of materials are the basis of many of the modules of all ERPs. These modules work the best when the product definition data is accurate and even more importantly consistent. Improving the accuracy/consistency of the product definition data has compounding benefits which allows companies to realize more value from the ERP investment.
Areas directly affected by improved accuracy/consistency in product definition and routing, Purchasing, Manufacturing, Planning, Scheduling, Quality.
BOM Consistency
Anthony Scriffognano, Chief Data Scientist at Dunn & Bradstreet states, "Consistently wrong is better than inconsistently right. Drive consistency into your process."
It is much easier to fix inaccuracies when they are consistent.
Consistent data that is slightly inaccurate can still be useful for directional insights. Software and automation are consistent (precision). People can be accurate, but inconsistent. People + Automation = Precision and Accuracy.
User Flexibility
CADTALK users are manufacturing engineers, design engineers, engineering admins, operations manager, or configuration management. CADTALK has many interfaces and does not always require a CAD license. Flexibility and choice = easy to implement and use.
