About Agni Link

Agni Link is a cloud-based software platform from Elmo Solutions that integrates project management and cost control tools. It provides features for document management, budget tracking, and real-time collaboration so project managers can maintain oversight and improve project delivery. Designed specifically for construction and engineering projects, Agni Link helps teams manage project documentation and financials in one place. Users can track expenses, share updates, and access critical information at any time. Key capabilities: document management budget tracking real-time collaboration project reporting data analytics Best for: project managers and construction teams that need centralized tools for effective project oversight and financial management.

Agni Link by Elmo Solutions is an advanced integration platform tailored for organizations that need to synchronize engineering data with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Specifically designed to bridge the gap between computer-aided design (CAD), product data management (PDM), and ERP platforms, Agni Link automates the bi-directional exchange of critical information such as parts lists, bills of materials (BOMs), and product specifications. Its core value lies in reducing errors, eliminating redundant data entry, and accelerating time-to-market by ensuring seamless collaboration between engineering and operations. Key features include real-time synchronization, rules-based mapping, error-checking mechanisms, and robust data validation tools that allow teams to maintain consistency and accuracy across platforms. The user interface of Agni Link is structured for efficiency and usability, particularly for engineering and IT professionals. While the design focuses more on function than visual appeal, it remains accessible with intuitive configuration panels and clear options for managing integration workflows. The dashboard layout allows users to monitor active sync sessions, validate mapping logic, and receive real-time alerts if issues occur during data transfers.

Pros & Cons

What users like
  • +Eliminates Manual Data Entry: Drastically reduces errors and saves time by automating data transfer between systems.
  • +Real-time Synchronization: Ensures up-to-date information across engineering and manufacturing, improving decision-making.
  • +User-Configurable (No Code): Empowers users to manage integrations without programming, reducing reliance on IT/developers.
  • +Broad Compatibility: Connects with a wide range of leading CAD/PDM/PLM and ERP systems.
  • +High ROI: Claims quick payback by significantly improving BoM accuracy and reducing rework.
What users flag
  • Initial Setup Complexity: While user-configurable, initial mapping and rule definition for complex systems might still require a learning curve.
  • Focus on Manufacturing: Primarily tailored for engineering-to-manufacturing data flow, which might be less relevant for non-manufacturing businesses.
  • Pricing Not Transparent: Specific pricing details are not publicly listed ("Contact Us for Quote," "P.O.A.").

Features

Key features

Real-time, Bidirectional CAD/PDM/PLM to ERP Integration
Automates seamless, two-way data flow between engineering and manufacturing systems, updating critical data points instantly.
Comprehensive Data Synchronization
Transfers a wide range of data, including Bills of Materials (BoMs), product data, routing instructions, raw materials, revisions, vendor/pricing info, and Engineering Change Management (ECRs, ECOs, ECNs).
No-Code User Configurability
Empowers users to define and edit integration rules and mappings themselves through an intuitive Configuration Builder, eliminating the need for programming or custom development.
Unified Data View & Discrepancy Resolution
Consolidates data from disparate systems into a common data object and automatically resolves discrepancies in real-time, presented via a color-coded Integration Dashboard.
Extensive System Compatibility
Supports a vast array of leading CAD, PDM, PLM (Autodesk, SOLIDWORKS, PTC, Siemens, Dassault Systèmes) and ERP (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle NetSuite, Acumatica, etc.) platforms.
High ROI & Low TCO
Delivers a quick return on investment (3-6 months) by virtually eliminating manual data transfer and reducing factory floor errors, leading to a low total cost of ownership.

Additional features

Real-time Bidirectional Data Integration
Automates the transfer and synchronization of data, allowing updates to flow in both directions between engineering (CAD/PDM/PLM) and manufacturing (ERP/MRP/BPM/CRM) systems.
CAD/PDM/PLM Add-in
Integrates directly as an add-in to popular engineering applications like SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk (Inventor, Vault, AutoCAD), PTC (Creo, Windchill), and Siemens (Solid Edge, Teamcenter, NX).
Extensive ERP/MRP/BPM/CRM Compatibility
Connects with virtually any ERP, MRP, BPM, CRM, or other business system, including major ones like SAP (ERP, S/4HANA, Business ByDesign, Business One, All-in-One), Microsoft Dynamics (365, NAV, GP, AX, SL), Oracle NetSuite, Acumatica, IFS, ODOO, and more.
Bills of Materials (BoM) Synchronization
Automatically updates or creates BoM items and quantities in the ERP/MRP system from engineering data.
Product Data Transfer
Automatically updates and/or creates component, subassembly, or assembly data in the ERP system.
Parts and Items Management
Can work with multiple part/item tables in some ERP systems (e.g., Master Catalog, Engineering Part).
Routing Instructions Integration
Edits and automatically inserts routing data into a CAD document and synchronizes it with the ERP system.
Raw Materials Management
Allows end-users to optionally supply raw material information (including quantity and units of measure) from the ERP system, and can automatically extract geometric information (mass, length, area) for raw material quantities.
Revision History Transfer
Faithfully transfers version and revision history data between engineering and manufacturing environments.
Procurement Data Visibility
Users can view real-time procurement data from the ERP system, including vendor information, costing, and available quantities, within the engineering environment.
Bidirectional Engineering Change Management
Maps Engineering Change Requests, Orders, and Notifications (ECRs, ECOs, ECNs) between engineering and ERP applications for joint change management.
Job-Centric Integration for ETO
Supports Engineer-to-Order (ETO) manufacturers by mapping engineering documents directly into jobs or work orders instead of just BoMs.
Quote Integration
Allows instant switching from product design integration to quote integration, or any other type of business data integration.
Unified Data Object
Brings data from different information silos (CAD/PDM/PLM and ERP) into one common data object for seamless management.
User-Definable Rules
Enables users to easily define simple rules to automatically resolve discrepancies between systems in real-time without programming.
Integration Dashboard with Color-Coding
Presents merged CAD and ERP data, indicating automatically resolved discrepancies or potential issues with color-coding (e.g., new items to be created).
User Control over Discrepancies
Users can override automatic discrepancy resolutions, revert to previous values, or select different acceptable values.
Real-time ERP Lookups
Performs real-time lookups on the ERP system to ensure data sent is compliant with ERP's business logic, improving BoM accuracy.
Automatic ERP Item/BoM/Routing Creation
Can automatically create data (Items, Bills of Materials, Routings) that does not yet exist in the ERP system upon user confirmation.
Three-Bucket Architecture
A unique, flexible, and reliable architecture designed for comprehensive data model mapping and exchange.
Data Transformation and Calculations
Processes mappings that can include constants, expressions, data transformations, and calculations during the integration process, with user override capability.
Event-Triggered Integration
Allows integration to be triggered by selectable events or workflows in PDM/PLM systems (e.g., new revision, new version, approval, release).
PLM Data Exchange
Extends beyond CAD and PDM to integrate a richer data set from PLM, including procedures, user manuals, schematics, marketing, service, quality, and support documents.
Distributed Approval Processes
Facilitates distributed approval processes to prevent discrepancies in real-time and identify who made changes.
Configuration Builder (No Programming)
Provides a tool for users to create or modify an unlimited number of mappings and their behavior without any programming.
High ROI (3-6 Months Payback)
Claims a quick return on investment, typically paying for itself in 3-6 months in ETO-intensive environments, by eliminating manual data transfer and reducing errors.
