Interfaces for CAD, PDM/PLM and ERP for Seamless Processes

The integration of CAD systems with PDM/PLM and ERP systems is crucial for efficient product development. Cideon interfaces make this process seamless and efficient. Find out how our solutions optimise the interaction of these systems and create the basis for successful business processes.


Interfaces for Autodesk, SAP, Eplan, PRO.FILE and Other Systems


Are you looking for seamless integration and efficient data management for your assemblies, components and drawings? Our CAD interface to the PDM/PLM system offers you just that. Your CAD users can continue to work in their familiar environment while benefiting from an integrated PDM/PLM menu that allows direct viewing and editing of original files.

Integrating your PDM system with your ERP system opens up additional advantages. Here, you can not only make a precise material assignment to the design documents, but also automatically derive bills of materials. This ensures uniform data structures for all those involved in development.

Learn more about our customized interface solutions for Autodesk, EPLAN, PRO.FILE and SAP. Or contact us directly. We will support you not only in the selection, but also in the implementation and configuration - and much more.

Rely on our many years of experience and exclusive partnerships with Autodesk and SAP. With our innovative Cloud CAD interfaces to SAP PLM, we are once again setting standards in the area of interfaces between CAD and SAP.
