Solid Works and Visual Manufacturing by Lilly

Is there anyone out there using Solid Works with an MRP system called
Visual Manufacturing by Lilly software? How do you integrate the 2? We
would like to be able to create engineering masters (essentially BOM's
with labour, time and material costs) in Visual, with data from
SolidWorks files.

 

Hi Paxton

Our "ToolWorks BOM Manager" and "ToolWorks ERP-Link" might be the solution
you are looking for.

ToolWorks ERP-Link is used to connect from within SolidWorks to your "Visual
Manufactoring" software. ToolWorks BOM Manager exports the BOM's from
SolidWorks to your MRP system either via txt-files or via XML-files.

You can download a free trial from http://www.toolworks.info

Hi Paxton

We also use Visual Manufacturing & Solidworks at the moment we have no
integration between the two but I am about to look at a program called
Revzone which I believe can link up with An SQL Based MRP system.
This software is a bit like PDMWorks but also includes a change note
system for modification notification.
I have a 14 Day trial CD which I am about to install I will let you
know how I get on -if you want more info on Revzone visit

Hello,

I'm using DBWorks to push SW meta data to another ERP system.
System is identical no matter which manufacturing software you use.
I'm assuming VM has an import function (excel, flat ascii, etc..)
DBWorks can create just about any output format you need to import
into VM.

Question: Do you want a one-time push (SW to VM upon release to
manufacturing) or continuous push (SW to VM as needed)?
