Elmo Solutions Releases Agni Link 2009

By DE Editors

Elmo Solutions (Quebec, Canada)  announced Agni Link 2009, a live, bidirectional CAD-ERP connector for SolidWorks and Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision), Dynamics AX (Axapta), and other ERP applications.

Agni Link is a companion application to SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD that provides real-time, bidirectional integration with Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision). Agni Link is the only application of its kind that offers a way to unify SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and AutoCAD and Dynamics NAV (Navision)  databases, says the company.

Every time a SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, or AutoCAD document is updated, the user may enter and/or edit data shared between SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, or AutoCAD and Microsoft Dynamics/NAV (Navision) using possible values obtained “live” from Microsoft Dynamics/NAV (Navision). Upon end-user confirmation, data is updated in both the SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, or AutoCAD document and the Microsoft Dynamics/NAV (Navision) database, ensuring perfect synchronization of both data sets and eliminating redundant data entry,  says the release. Agni Link 2009 can integrate a wide range of data from either side, including SolidWorks Part, Component, and Assembly data; Autodesk Inventor Part, Component and Assembly data; AutoCAD entities; Microsoft Dynamics/NAV (Navision) Bills of Materials; and Microsoft Dynamics/NAV (Navision) Routing.instructions

New features for Release 2009 include automatic import of ERP BOMs into CAD BOMs;  ability to work on all BOM levels simultaneously; and real-time notification of CAD users upon changes to the EPR database.

Usually yielding high Return on Investment (ROI), Agni Link typically pays for itself in less than 90 days.
