Built on a robust industry standard Microsoft SQL database e2i encompasses the processes faced by all manufacturing companies, enabling the tracking and management of cost throughout the design and manufacture process with the added benefit of being integrated into RADAN CAD/CAM. Developed to meet the needs of sheet metal subcontractors but equally at home in any production environment.

 

A typical e2i system comprises of a standard server core, the only option for this is stock control. Standard components within the core in addition to those provided by eQuote are Sales Orders, Route Cards, Nest Routes, Purchasing, Capacity Planning, Deliveries and Invoicing, where a system has stock control enabled.

The MDB expands with your business. The introduction of new customers, new products or new machines brings into your manufacturing environment the need to control new material, strategies and new practices. The MDB ensures consistency of programming for these new criteria for all of your machines, which translates to less rejects, less rework and higher returns.
