MaXXflow with MaXXlink
From design to production, connected
MaXXlink structures BOMs from your engineering systems. MaXXflow turns them into purchasing, inventory and production decisions. Together they connect design to production.
The handover problem
A design BOM doesn't tell you what to buy, what to make or what's short
Engineering creates the product definition: models, drawings, BOMs and revisions. Production needs something different: what to buy, what to make, what's available and whether the job can go ahead.
When that handover is manual, things go missing. Non-modeled items aren't captured, quantities change, revisions don't reach purchasing in time, and production builds from information that has already moved on. If the BOM is wrong, the purchasing, inventory and production plans built on it are wrong too.
How the two work together
From engineering BOM to manufacturing action
MaXXlink and MaXXflow are complementary steps in the same journey.
01
Structure it
MaXXlink captures BOM information from CAD or PDM, including non-modeled items and custom information, and prepares a manufacturing-ready structure.
BOMs reviewed and supplemented before they're used.
02
Bring it in
BOMs are imported into MaXXflow through the MaXXlink BOM connector, assigned to products, with control over what's ingested.
No retyping into spreadsheets.
03
Plan from it
MaXXflow uses the BOM for material requirements, inventory checks and purchasing.
What to buy and what to make.
04
Build from it
Work orders and production readiness rest on the same structure.
Jobs built from current information.
Why it matters
Close the gap between what's designed and what gets made
Fewer handover errors
Missed items, wrong quantities and revision mix-ups caught before they reach purchasing or the floor.
Design intent protected
Engineering information becomes useful to manufacturing without being copied and reinterpreted along the way.
Planning you can trust
Requirements, purchasing and readiness rest on BOMs that reflect the current design.
One story from CAD to shop floor
For engineering-led manufacturers, this is what sets MaXXflow apart from generic planning tools.
Do you need both?
MaXXlink matters most when your BOMs start in CAD
If your BOMs originate in CAD or PDM and have to be reviewed, restructured or supplemented before purchasing and production can use them, MaXXlink and MaXXflow together give you the cleanest path.
If your BOMs are maintained another way, MaXXflow can create or import them directly, and MaXXlink can be added later. Your MaXXlink requirements are part of the scope conversation, and part of how your investment is shaped.
