Developer of LIGHT, the next-generation proton therapy system for cancer treatment, gains immediate ROI from integrating Epicor with PLM
The production of the LIGHT machine that Advanced Oncotherapy is developing is fully managed in its product lifecycle management (PLM) software from Autodesk, which provides enterprise-wide collaboration for all involved in the product lifecycle – from engineering and supply chain to quality and manufacturing. However, all the transactional data and information needed to be passed into Epicor. BPA Platform was therefore deployed to provide the Epicor PLM integration and to automate the tranfer and monitoring of transactional data and information.
Primary Applications Used: Epicor, PLM from Autodesk, Expensify
The Challenge
- Improve integration and data transparency
- Transfer data and information from PLM to Epicor
- Make data dynamic rather than static
- Improve workflow for manufacturing

As soon as data changes in our PLM software, BPA Platform pulls the information from it and then uses the standard API calls of Epicor to create or update parts and suppliers in Epicor. ROI was achieved within a couple of months of using BPA Platform, thanks to the ease of integration and the time savings that we achieved. It helped us get the company up and running a lot quicker.
