Why manufacturers need custom engineering platforms — ERP extensions cannot carry geometry and analysis truth. Part of Hendoi’s aerospace, digital twin, engineering AI, and manufacturing automation series.
Key challenges
- ERP extensions handle transactions, not engineering geometry and physics
- Forcing engineering into ERP creates spreadsheet shadows
- Owned engineering platforms integrate to ERP without becoming ERP
Recommended actions
- Keep engineering systems of record for geometry and analysis
- Integrate clean events/APIs to ERP for cost and order data
- Reject “ERP will do engineering” as a programme plan
Audience · Metric
Manufacturing IT and engineering systems architects
