What is IDC Missing Link?

IDC Missing Link is Innovative Dynamics Corp.’s own implementation of its CAD2xRP Technology.

Its features include:

  • Generate Design BOMs
  • Multi-level Production BOMs with routings
  • Automatic part number assignment
  • Drawing management (file, retrieve, check-in, check-out drawings)
  • Automatic updating of materials list, title block, and revision history
  • Two powerful search engines
  • Graphic previews of drawings
  • CAD access to MRP/ERP info
  • Intelligent part description construction
  • Absolute revision control
  • Approval process

Does IDC Missing Link Increase Productivity?

Absolutely! Especially in the engineer-to-order manufacturing environment, where it yields astonishing increases in design efficiency and overall productivity.

Times required for creating an assembly drawing in AutoCAD and registering it with a company’s data management system (MRP or ERP) have shown increases in efficiency of over 1,000% when using IDC Missing Link.

Assuming that the many work-saving features of IDC Missing Link were used only a conservative 20% of the total time spent on the creation of an engineering design, the resulting increase in productivity averages about 200%.

Design-to-product cycle times have been reported as reduced 40 to 50 per cent.

These results are directly attributed to faster design times, better production scheduling and parts ordering—all enabled by IDC Missing Link’s ability to communicate engineering requirements enterprise-wide with both speed and accuracy.
