proALPHA CA-Link ensures lossless information flows when commercial and CAD data are exchanged between the engineering department and other divisions. Engineering data provide the basis for many business processes. They are automatically transferred from the CAD system to the ERP software by means of CA-Link. Additional interfaces and applications for product data management (PDM) and product lifecycle management (PLM) are no longer required. Viewers allow all departments to access CAD data and display them as bills of materials or interactive 3D models. This not only avoids inquiries but also makes room for creativity in engineering.
