System Integration
Your Digital Gateway to Success
Connect Processes and Eliminate Data Silos
In the competitive field of engineering, market success depends on speed and data consistency. System integration dissolves traditional departmental silos, creating a seamless connection between engineering, sales, and manufacturing. The result is an end‑to‑end digital value chain spanning CAD, ERP, PDM, and CRM integration.
Intelligence Instead of Manual Data Management
Eliminate the risk of manual, error‑prone data transfer. Lino solutions connect design, product, and process data directly to your core business systems – keeping information consistent across your entire landscape.
Configuration results flow automatically into quoting and order processes, while technical documentation is classified and versioned in the background. Everything stays up‑to‑date, structured, and ready for future reference.
Agility Thanks to the Digital Thread
Modern system integration creates a seamless flow of information between engineering, sales, and production. It connects CAD, ERP, PDM, and CRM systems into a unified ecosystem to ensure reliable data exchange at every stage of the process.
The Digital Thread builds on this foundation by providing a continuous, traceable flow of information, ensuring that all data remains consistent, connected, and up to date.

Frequently asked questions
Knowledge base on CAD, ERP, PLM, and CRM system integration
Here you will find answers regarding the integration of heterogeneous IT systems in mechanical engineering.
Discover how seamless data flows between CAD, ERP, PDM/PLM, and configuration solutions are created, and how companies can eliminate data silos, automate processes, and establish a robust digital process chain.
What does end-to-end system integration mean in mechanical engineering?
End-to-end system integration connects sales, design, engineering, and manufacturing via a central integration logic. Configuration, CAD, and order data are exchanged automatically between ERP, CRM, and PDM/PLM systems. This creates a digital process chain without media disruptions, from the first customer contact through to delivery.
How are data silos in a company eliminated?
Data silos arise when systems operate in isolation. An intelligent integration architecture centrally links product, configuration, and CAD data. Information is synchronized automatically so that duplicate data maintenance is eliminated and all departments work with consistent data.
How do configuration data flow into ERP and CRM systems?
Customer requirements captured during configuration are automatically transferred into quotation and order processes. Bills of materials, technical specifications, and, where applicable, prices are passed
Does system integration improve data quality?
Yes. Automated interfaces and defined data models ensure that information is maintained only once and used across systems. Versioning, classification, and structured data handover increase transparency and prevent inconsistencies.
How does system integration support the digital thread?
System integration creates a continuous digital thread across all process steps. From product selection and automatic CAD generation to manufacturing approval, all systems work together seamlessly. Every change is passed on transparently, ensuring an end-to-end, traceable process chain.
Does sales benefit from integrated processes?
Yes. Sales staff have access to up-to-date product and pricing data and can create valid quotations more quickly. Because technical data are transferred automatically into downstream systems, coordination loops with engineering are significantly shortened.
What advantages does system integration generate for engineering?
Design engineers work with consistent, automatically generated data. CAD models, bills of materials, and documentation are provided and versioned across systems. This reduces rework and increases process reliability. Repetitive tasks are eliminated, and the support effort for sales is greatly reduced.
Is an integrated system landscape scalable?
Yes. A modern integration architecture grows with the product portfolio, variety of configurations, and system landscape. New applications or processes can be connected without destabilizing existing workflows, which is ideal for growing industrial companies.
