Standardization
In mechanical design, designers seldom have common terminology for design attributes or parameters. Link-It™ helps mechanical designers in terminology standardization by offering selection lists for design attributes. Link-It™ products support standardization in a multinational design environment in local languages.

Synchronization
Manufacturing item attributes are managed in MRP/ERP. Managing these attributes exactly already in the mechanical design stage requires continuous manual parameter validation and searching from ERP during design. Creating new designs, new item codes, copying old item parameters and raw material information into the CAD model will give powerful tools for the designer.

Quality
When designers are able to use only valid selection lists, active items and raw materials and when keystroke errors are disabled, design quality improves. Automated BOM (Bill of Material) creation into ERP or other systems results in more reliable control compared to creating BOM’s manually.

Efficiency
“Produce more faster, save time in design and in non-value added tasks.” Link-It™ saves time in engineering and design work and also when supporting other organizations. Design work can be done faster, when design and manufacturing parameters are selected quickly and reliably. Automatic BOM creation into ERP and other systems saves manual work. Support for other organizational needs can be provided by exporting and producing manufacturing documents for production, suppliers or OEM’s. Link-It™ helps automate these non-value added tasks with effective tools.
The Link-It™ product family saves designers’ time using ERP clients.

Design Automation
“Use zero-design-time for producing manufacturing information directly based on customer order.” The Link-It™ product family includes a powerful technical CAD-Integrated product configurator module, which manages product configuration based on the customer’s product options. After the salesman enters customer parameters on-line/off-line, a new product configuration is created into CAD and saved as a customer configuration. All manufacturing documentation and CAM formats are exported automatically. This will lead to major benefits in productivity and optimized product deliveries to customers.
