CitiusKBE’s CAD automation toolkits directly complement EMUG Tech’s engineering resource augmentation and PLM consulting programs. Where EMUG Tech places CAD engineers in client NX environments, CitiusKBE’s QC-Mate NX Suite enforces OEM model quality standards automatically. AutoDraft Pro accelerates drawing production. ChangeXtract supports Teamcenter and Windchill ECM implementations at the CAD data level — together addressing both the people layer and the tooling layer of engineering productivity.
EMUG Tech’s SAP PP, EWM, and MES integration programs connect production planning, shop floor execution, and quality management. Frugalhacks’s automation systems are the physical production layer those programs govern. For clients implementing both layers in the same facility, the two organisations coordinate the data interface design between the automation PLC layer and SAP and MES middleware — ensuring machine data flows correctly into SAP production confirmations, QM notifications, and PM work orders without manual re-entry.
