A modular ERP, scaled to how you manufacture

DELMIAWorks covers the full run of a manufacturing business, sales through to shipping and accounts, with a modular, single-database architecture that lets you switch on more capability as you grow, without adding new systems.

Product

Manufacturing Execution System (MES)

Real-time shop floor data collection, process monitoring, preventative maintenance and production reporting: the foundation the rest of the system is built around.

Scheduling & MRP

Advanced planning and scheduling, capacity, labour and material requirements planning, forecasting, and master production scheduling in one connected view.

Inventory & warehouse management

Lot tracking, traceability, Kanban and vendor-managed inventory support, built around lean manufacturing principles.

Quality & compliance

Document control, statistical process control (SPC), non-conformance and audit tracking, and full manufacturing traceability.

Sales, CRM & quoting

Contact and opportunity management alongside quoting and order entry, tracked against the same customer, partner and vendor record.

Financial management

Full financial control integrated directly with ERP and manufacturing activity, so job costs and margins update as production happens.

Shop floor control & labelling

Work order management, job shop and tooling/die/mould project tracking, plus barcode and label automation for shipping and inventory.

Multi-plant & web portals

Manage multiple facilities, companies and languages from a single system, with supplier, customer and employee web portal access.

Manufacturing Execution System

Real-time control of the shop floor

DELMIAWorks' MES is tailored to what you need to manage: preventative maintenance, process monitoring, SPC, quality, document control or lot traceability, and shares data back and forth with the ERP side automatically, across a single facility or many.

Core MES capabilities

Process & production monitoring

State-of-the-art tools track and analyse process data parameters, alongside direct shop floor machine data collection.

Real-time control charts

Data can be keyed manually or captured automatically from serial devices, with live control charts including X-bar-R, X-MR, p-np and histograms, plus Cpk capability analysis.

Preventative maintenance

Scheduled maintenance plans reduce unplanned downtime and keep equipment performing to spec.

Quality & document control

A comprehensive suite of quality modules covers document control, inspections, non-conformance and compliance recordkeeping.

Traceability, tracking & genealogy

Production traceability follows materials and components through the full manufacturing process, supporting recalls and audits.

Business activity monitoring

Exception and notification tooling (IQAlert) flags mission-critical issues and turns them into advisories and actions.

Two-way ERP data sharing

Whether you run one facility or several globally, DELMIAWorks' data-sharing tools pass shop floor information back and forth with the ERP automatically.

Configurable to your process

Low-code configurability supports nearly every style of manufacturing, with over 40 standard connection points into ERP systems.

Please note: the MES functionality in DELMIAWorks runs on the same database as the ERP. It's not a separate system requiring its own integration project.
SOLIDWORKS ↔ DELMIAWorks
CAD to manufacturing, connected

From engineering BOM to manufacturing BOM, without re-keying

For companies already designing in SOLIDWORKS, DMO Solutions can connect that CAD environment directly to DELMIAWorks, so the bill of materials your engineers build never has to be manually re-entered on the shop floor.

Why this matters

A SOLIDWORKS bill of materials and a DELMIAWorks bill of materials aren't the same thing. SOLIDWORKS captures the engineering view: item numbers, part numbers, quantities, dimensions and materials. DELMIAWorks needs the manufacturing view on top of that: work centres, labour, tooling, dies, fixtures, scrap rates, setup times and yield. Historically, turning one into the other has meant manual re-entry, and every engineering change means doing it again.

01
Step 01

Design in SOLIDWORKS

Parts and assemblies are modelled as usual, generating the engineering bill of materials (eBOM) from the CAD structure.

Step 02

Bridge the eBOM into DELMIAWorks

A DELMIAWorks menu inside SOLIDWORKS, or a SOLIDWORKS PDM-to-DELMIAWorks connector, links drawings and documents straight to DELMIAWorks records, so both systems reference the same release of a part.

Step 03

Generate the manufacturing BOM (mBOM)

The eBOM becomes the basis for the DELMIAWorks bill of manufacture, adding work centres, labour, tooling and process detail specific to how the part is actually produced.

Step 04

Run production from a single source of truth

DELMIAWorks allocates materials and manages production against the connected BOM, with its built-in MES capturing real-world results: materials consumed, labour used, cycle times.

Step 05

Feed shop floor results back to design

Real shop floor data highlights where a design caused rework, delay or waste, so engineering can adjust the model before the next production run.

What it removes

Manual BOM re-entry

New parts and engineering changes flow through without being retyped into the ERP by hand.

Out-of-date drawings on the floor

Linked documents and drawings stay tied to the correct release, removing the walk to engineering for the latest version.

Disconnected change control

An engineering change ripples through to the connected BOM and documentation, rather than being tracked separately in two places.

This integration sits between SOLIDWORKS and DELMIAWorks specifically for BOM and document data. It does not require adopting other SOLIDWORKS modules such as Simulation, Composer or PDM more broadly, though PDM environments can plug into the same connector.
