What is Lantek API?

Lantek API is a standardized set of services that allows external applications to securely access data and functions within Lantek software solutions. It acts as the central integration layer across the Lantek ecosystem.

It follows an API-first approach based on REST architecture, supporting integration in on-premise, cloud, or hybrid environments. Business logic is applied in every operation to ensure data consistency and security.

What type of information can be synchronized?

Lantek API provides access to core entities across the manufacturing workflow, including production, inventory, CRM, quoting, sales, purchasing, and subcontracting.

It supports full data interaction, including custom fields, and enables event-driven communication through webhooks.

• Production and Inventory

• Supports integration between Lantek MES and external ERP systems, covering a broad functional scope with modern API technology.
• 
  

• CRM and quoting

• Connects Lantek quoting tools with corporate systems for consistent commercial data.
• 
  

• Sales

• Links customer orders and business processes with financial and administrative systems.
• 
  

• Purchasing and Outsourcing

• Synchronizes supplier data, purchase orders, and outsourced operations with external systems.
• 
  

• Production data validation

• Allows external applications to register production data when standard shop floor tools are not used.

What problem does it solve?

Lantek API removes dependency on rigid file-based integrations and reduces the need for custom developments.

It enables faster integration projects, supports third-party development, and improves data consistency through structured communication.

What is Powersync?

Powersync connects Lantek MES with external ERP and MRP systems through structured import and export processes. It enables consistent data exchange without duplication or manual intervention.

From the ERP, Lantek MES receives manufacturing orders, materials, inventory data, and technical information required for production. Orders can be launched automatically, updated, and prepared for CAD/CAM processing.

After execution, Lantek returns real production data to the ERP, including material consumption, scrap, and validated results.

What type of information can be synchronized?

• At the master level, companies, contacts, items, parts, assemblies, materials, sheets, profiles, work centers, and employees are synchronized. This ensures consistency between corporate catalogs and the production environment.
• 
  
• Within the sales cycle, sales orders and their lines are integrated, keeping commercial commitments aligned with actual production capacity.
• 
  
• In purchasing and inventory, suppliers, purchase orders, and material movements are managed, allowing actual manufacturing consumption to be reflected in the corporate stock.
• 
  
• In production, Powersync manages manufacturing orders, operations, and jobs, connecting planning with execution.

Lantek MES returns production data such as material usage, scrap, and finished parts, ensuring accurate reporting in the ERP.

What problem does it solve?

Powersync removes duplicate data entry between systems, reduces errors, and ensures consistency between planning and production. It creates a continuous data flow between the office and the shop floor.

It is suitable when the ERP remains the central system for business management, while Lantek manages sheet metal manufacturing processes.

What is Masterlink?

Masterlink connects Lantek Expert with ERP and MRP systems to transfer production orders in a structured way. The ERP manages planning and order creation, while Lantek Expert converts this data into executable CAD/CAM processes.

It establishes a stable data flow that supports automated order import and consistent execution in the workshop.

What type of information can be synchronized?

Masterlink imports production orders, order lines, quantities, and technical data from ERP systems. It can also include geometry required for CAD/CAM preparation.

After production, Lantek Expert returns manufacturing results, material consumption, and data required for cost control and administrative processes. This includes manufacturing results, consumption tracking, and the data required to complete the administrative and cost control cycle.

The data flow is structured so that each system maintains its natural role without duplications.

What problem does it solve?

Masterlink eliminates the manual re-entry of orders between systems. It prevents inconsistencies between what is planned in the ERP and what is executed on the shop floor. It reduces operational errors and speeds up the transition from order to actual production. It allows the ERP to manage the business and Lantek Expert to govern manufacturing, keeping both environments connected with reliable and up-to-date information.

Result: more executable planning, better-aligned production, and greater control over the entire order flow.
