Engineering Workflow Automation Services That Connect CAD, PDM, PLM, and ERP
DevWorks engineering workflow automation handles handoffs such as BOM status and release for manufacturers—not regenerating CAD geometry or part models inside your design tools.
DevWorks Automation provides engineering workflow automation services that connect CAD, PDM, PLM, and ERP systems for manufacturing, aerospace, energy, and civil engineering teams, automating approval routing, BOM generation, and documentation to remove manual handoffs from the engineering lifecycle.
Challenges We Solve
Repetitive Manual Tasks
Engineers often spend a significant amount of time on repetitive design and documentation tasks, which can slow down overall productivity and reduce focus on more critical work.
Human Errors in Designs
Manual workflows often lead to a higher risk of costly mistakes in design and documentation, creating inconsistencies and requiring additional rework, reducing accuracy and consistency across all outputs.
Slow Project Delivery
Approvals that sit in someone's inbox and design changes that have to be re-entered by hand add days or weeks to a project timeline that has nothing to do with the engineering work itself.
Lack of System Integration
Disconnected tools often hinder productivity by creating fragmented workflows and limiting smooth collaboration between teams.
Our Engineering Workflow Automation Services
DevWorks Automation provides engineering workflow automation services that connect CAD, PDM, PLM, and ERP systems for manufacturing, aerospace, energy, and civil engineering teams, automating approval routing, BOM generation, and documentation to remove manual handoffs from the engineering lifecycle.
CAD Design Automation
Automate creation of complex CAD models and drawings with rule-based logic and parametric templates. This removes the need to rebuild models by hand for every new order or variant.
BOM Automation
Generate accurate Bills of Materials instantly from CAD models and product configurators. BOMs stay in sync with the design automatically, reducing errors from manual spreadsheet entry.
Design Configuration Automation
Create customizable product configurations that generate valid designs from user inputs. Sales and engineering teams can configure valid product variants without manual rework.
Drawing & Documentation Automation
Automatically generate engineering drawings and documentation from design data. Documentation updates automatically whenever the underlying design changes.
Approval Workflow Automation
Automate review and approval processes across engineering and quality teams. Requests route to the right reviewers automatically, so approvals don't sit in someone's inbox.
ERP/CRM Integration
Connect engineering workflows with business systems for seamless data flow, including SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics.
Our Automation Process
Our process transforms complex engineering workflows into streamlined, efficient systems through careful planning, development, and seamless integration, ensuring accuracy and improved productivity.
(01)
Requirement Analysis
We understand your current workflow and challenges. We map how design changes, approvals, and BOM data currently move between your CAD, PDM, and ERP systems to find the highest-cost manual steps.
(02)
Workflow Design
We design a tailored automation strategy. This covers the rules engine, approval routing logic, and system integrations needed, built around your existing product structure.
(03)
Development & Implementation
We build and integrate automation solutions. Your engineering team reviews and tests against real workflows and data, not sample scenarios.
(04)
Deployment & Support
Smooth launch with ongoing support. We stay engaged after go-live to adjust rules and integrations as your workflow evolves.

What Our Clients Say
“We rolled out a unified analytics platform on a practical timeline. Production planners finally see the same numbers as finance, and weekly review meetings are shorter.”
Manufacturing operations leader
United States
“The machine learning models DevWorks built for us reduced unplanned downtime on critical lines. The team delivered clear documentation and stayed involved through the first production release.”
Engineering leader
United States
“They helped us move off spreadsheets without breaking existing workflows. Our engineers adopted the dashboards faster than any prior IT project we have run.”
Data and operations leader
United States
“Predictive maintenance alerts now reach supervisors before equipment fails, so the plant can act on issues before they become stoppages.”
Plant operations leader
United States
“The data pipeline work was thorough and practical. We get near real time visibility into inventory and supplier performance without adding manual reporting steps.”

Frequently asked questions
Engineering workflow automation connects CAD, PDM, PLM, and ERP systems so design changes, approvals, and BOM data move automatically between them, instead of through email and manual re-entry.
BOM automation generates and validates a single Bill of Materials from CAD data. Engineering workflow automation is broader. It also automates approval routing, documentation, and the connections between CAD, PDM, PLM, and ERP systems.
Yes. We build rule-based approval routing that moves a design or change request through the right reviewers automatically, with the outcome synced back to your PDM/PLM and ERP systems.
Yes. Our workflow automation solutions integrate with leading ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics, with data flows mapped between your engineering tools and ERP for real-time synchronisation.
Simple automation projects can be delivered in a few weeks, while more comprehensive enterprise integrations typically take two to four months.
Yes. We build bespoke automation workflows tailored to your specific processes, data structures, and tool ecosystem, rather than an off-the-shelf solution that requires you to change how you work.
