Organizations are faced with the increasing challenge of ensuring that all types of CAD data and documents are stored in a secure repository for later recall, either directly or in the context of the product to which they relate.
Additionally, they must ensure that accurate, up-to-date information can be viewed by any user during design reviews, engineering changes, defect investigations, and other processes.
PDM with Aras Innovator manages the creation, change, and archive of all information in a centralized or distributed data repository and provides easy access to all users via secure visual collaboration capabilities. Connectors are available for all popular MCAD and ECAD tools, as well as for Microsoft Office, where part and BOM items are automatically extracted and linked to corresponding CAD and document items in Aras.
Powerful PDM capabilities ensure that everyone is accessing the correct information, helping to avoid errors and eliminate delays. Distributed storage vaults make information quickly accessible anywhere, supporting global product development and supply chain collaboration strategies. Visual collaboration tools enable in-context discussions, increasing the pace of review and approval and resulting in better products that can be brought to market faster.
