Vault/Inventor ERP integration

[Anonymous]

I am currently looking into alternative ERP systems.

We use Inventor Pro and Vault Basic and to date we are transferring our Inventor BOM via a VBA macro into our ERP system (e2i by Radan).

The macro is horrendous, it's been passed around so many people since it was initiated and now nobody in house really knows how to keep it up to date.

Bu that's not the main issue.... once the BOM is in e2i, making changes to it or the manufacturing routings that get generated, is extremely laborious. Its all done manually, which introduces a huge amount of human error, so the two systems are very rarely in sync 

I really want bit of software that synchronizes with Inventor/Vault. I'd be interested in hearing what sweet setups people are using out there?

The most common thing to do here is have a middle ware program written for you by a Professional Services company or Reseller.  You would also likely have to upgrade to Vault Professional but only based on the criteria you need to pass.  Probably the best software on the market to assist in this type of back and forth is Cool Orange.

We use an ERP system called Syspro, and they have a middleware program of their own called CADTalk, which is designed specifically for pulling in CAD data.  I can't say how it works, because we are not using it, but I thought I'd throw it out on the table as another one for you to look into.

Good luck!

Mark,

I find your comment quite interesting... How did you come to the conclusion that Cool Orange was probably the best solution?

Thanks,

Ricardo.

We have looked into Jitterbit for our integration as they will work with our MRP system and other systems.  Cool Orange is also a company that has much experience with Data Management/Vault and have a product called PowerGate and that is likely why @mflayler mentioned them.  Check out their website as well to see the free products they offer and the solutions.  I would also suggest you speak to your Autodesk Reseller to see how they can assist.
