Data interchange between computer-aided design programs and information systems

Increased data quantity and quality have caused need for better and larger data interchange as between programs as so between companies. CAD programs stand at the beginning of production cycle and give basic data about product, while information systems try to consort all data about products, resources and markets, and to help in overall company business. Intention of this paper is to point out data interchange possibilities among CAD programs and information systems. Thereby more attention is devoted to dynamic bi-directional data interchange. The first part of the paper considers program possibilities separately for CAD programs and separately for information systems developed on Mechanical Engineering Faculty in Slavonski Brod, and shows mechanisms which allow interchange. In a sequel are accentuated data types suitable for the interchange, suggested kinds of a links and considered potential benefits from interchange in respective departments of company. A paper conclusion deals with benefits and disadvantages of suggested data interchange mechanisms and proposes improvements in conjunction i.e. integration of considered subsystems, all in purpose of computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM).
