Description
Kratki, a leading Polish manufacturer of fireplaces and heating solutions, started Management of production workflows by integrating Inventor and Vault software with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Design models are enriched by data based on reference values from ERP and calculated properties from the Inventor 3D model. Customization of Vault Professional software also provides automatic generation of PDF, DXF™, and STP files, as well as quick updates of many projects after the change of a single part. With these tools, Kratki can efficiently respond to specific customer needs, through full digitalization at every stage of the process and data consistency in both systems. This optimizes the technology preparation process, eliminates tedious project update activities after changing single parts, and reduces errors related to outdated documentation. This session will explore how the synergy of CAD/PDM (product data management) and ERP systems has strengthened Kratki’s innovation capacity and market agility.
