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.

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.
