Lino Automate ERP

The Bridge between Engineering and Business

Lino Automate ERP connects automated engineering and configuration processes directly to your ERP system. Item master data, bills of materials, and documents are automatically transferred and consistently maintained.

This creates end‑to‑end data flows from the CAD model through design to production planning—without manual interventions or media breaks. This increases data quality, reduces errors, and accelerates order processes.

Maximum Efficiency Through Automated Data Integration

In modern manufacturing companies, the seamless connection between design and resource planning is the key to success. The Lino Automate ERP module closes the gap between your CAD system (especially SolidWorks) and your ERP environment. No more manual data entry, data‑transfer errors, or media breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Knowledge base on bills of materials transfer, production data, and process coupling.

Here you will learn how configuration and design data are automatically transferred to ERP systems.
In mechanical engineering this enables a seamless handover of quotations, bills of materials and production information – for faster order processing and reduced error rates.

What is Lino Automate ERP?

Lino Automate ERP connects engineering and CAD processes directly to your ERP system. Item master data, bills of materials, routings, and documents are transferred automatically from the CAD environment into the ERP system. This creates an end-to-end data chain for medium-sized manufacturing companies – without manual transfer or media disruptions.

Why is ERP integration critical for Industry 4.0?

Industry 4.0 is based on networked systems and consistent data. When CAD and configuration data flow automatically into the ERP system, a digital thread is created from quotation through to production. As a result, processes become more transparent, faster, and scalable.

Which data is transferred automatically to the ERP system?

Directly from the CAD process, material master data, complex bills of materials, routing information, and related documents can be created or synchronized in the ERP system. This eliminates the need for duplicate data entry.

How do medium-sized companies benefit economically?

Eliminating manual data entry significantly reduces error rates. At the same time, lead times between design, purchasing, and production are shortened. Especially in medium-sized businesses, this leads to measurable efficiency gains.

How is data quality ensured?

Automated data transfers prevent typing errors and inconsistencies. Data is stored in the ERP system in a revision-safe and reproducible manner—an important factor for quality management and compliance.

Welche ERP-Systeme können angebunden werden?

Die Integration erfolgt über skalierbare Web-Services und unterstützt zahlreiche gängige ERP-Systeme wie SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, ABAS, Infor oder ProAlpha. Weitere Anbindungen sind möglich.

How flexible is the solution in day-to-day operations?

The ERP integration can be triggered manually or embedded into existing PDM/PLM release processes. This allows companies to retain full control over their workflows.

How does Lino Automate ERP support growing companies?

Thanks to its scalable architecture and industrial standards, the solution grows alongside increasing product variety and rising project complexity. This makes it particularly attractive for medium-sized companies in a growth phase.

For which companies is Lino Automate ERP particularly suitable?

Mechanical and plant engineering companies with highly configurable products benefit the most from automated connectivity between engineering and ERP. As soon as data must be maintained multiple times, automation delivers clear competitive advantages.
