About CAD Parser
CAD Parser is a plug-in based software utility for the AutoDesk AutoCAD® program. It compiles information from AutoCAD drawings and builds accurate, consistent and validated bill of materials (BoM) data for assembly or sub assembly manufacturing processes. While AutoCAD comes with built in BoM options, they are not comprehensive and more often than not they are inaccurate. Requiring additional labor related cost to update and validate the bill of materials (BoM) data. CAD Parser resolves those inaccuracy issues and eliminates manual errors by making the bill of materials (BoM) extraction process an automated and efficient process. It does this by allowing for drawings descriptions to be updated automatically and giving you the ability to update bill of materials (BoM) from third party inventory applications.

Agni Link
Agni Link automates the transfer of Bills of Materials using an add-in to CAD/PDM/PLM applications by Autodesk, SOLIDWORKS, PTC (Creo, Windchill) and Siemens (Solid Edge, Teamcenter), just to name a few. It brings your data from both information silos into one common data object. You can easily define simple rules, so the discrepancies found between your systems are resolved in real-time automatically, based on simple rules that you can easily define. Easy, error-free, accurate and reliable. The Elmo way. And if you are not quite happy with the mappings and their behavior, you can easily edit them all by yourself — without any programming! It is proven that in an ETO process, manual transcription of data from Engineering to Manufacturing can consume up to 25% of the total engineering effort. And unfortunately, the export-import approach is barely better. Only bidirectional, real-time data validation and populating can eliminate the terrible waste of brains.

ProSteel
With ProSteel software you can efficiently create accurate 3D models for structural steel, metal work, and steel assemblies. You can then quickly generate design drawings, fabrication details, and schedules that automatically update whenever the 3D model changes. Additionally, detailed output to CNC machines automates the steel fabrication process. ProSteel fully supports your construction and planning tasks for structural steel and metal work in a 3D modeling environment. Working with AutoCAD or MicroStation, you get an intuitive and integrated multi-material modeler perfectly suited to layout complex structures, produce shop drawings, assemble all your connections, and manage your bills of materials. Quickly extract 2D drawings that automatically update when the 3D model changes. Easily exchange information with other disciplines thanks to interoperability with other Bentley and third-party applications.

Merlin MRP Factory 8
Easy to learn, this MRP software has a built-in User Guide, with help on every screen. Just follow the Work-Flow on the Home Screen (see the SOFTWARE page), and you will quickly find how easy to use is the very powerful Merlin MRP System. Using a combination of Stock Control and the MRP process, you can determine precisely which items you want to hold in stock, with Minimum Stock Level options, and which items you wish to purchase on a JiT basis, by single job or groups. The system will analyse your production jobs for shortages, will generate work orders for subassemblies, and it will auto-create and schedule the subassembly Jobs. It will then drill-down for shortages of materials according to the BoM (Bill of Materials), create Purchase Orders, and Delivery Schedules according to the start dates of the jobs.
