By implementing direct integration between PTC Windchill and Cadence OrCAD, Stratec delivers the ability for its electronics staff to work faster, easier and more efficiently. Learn how you can improve productivity in your company.

Always using valid, logically related design data in a transparent PLM environment results in genuine added value for developers. But also for other development domains.

For a pilot project, XPLM donated 30 CATIA V5, 30 Siemens NX and 30 SolidWorks to Aras integration licenses to the Department of Computer Graphics Technology at Purdue University in Indiana. This allows the university to make the integration of CAD with PDM an integral part of the curriculum.

Putzmeister is a global supplier of machinery for construction sites and mining. Migration from PTC Creo and PTC WorkManager to Siemens NX and Teamcenter worldwide enables the company to create a transparent, end-to-end engineering process. The integration of SAP ERP makes it possible to transfer BOMs directly from Teamcenter. Legacy CAD data is available thanks to migration.

Since directly integrating its CAD systems Autodesk Inventor and Altium Designer into Oracle Agile PLM, the development teams at Brooks have been working much more efficiently. Interdisciplinary coordination processes have been harmonised and the approval processes simplified. Thanks to migration, the PDM inventory data have been available in the new PLM system right from the start.

OSI Systems, supplier of electronic systems with very high compliance regulations, set special requirements for directly integrating SOLIDWORKS into Oracle Agile PLM. In the case of an updated CAD file, the file-naming should allow for corresponding values to be recorded. OSI Systems also wanted to store FEA analysis files in Agile when saving them.

Primarly, Dr. Meister was interested in the potential of digital processes, the synergies between economy and science as well as the effectiveness of current funding programs.

Carestream, a provider of diagnostic imaging systems, now automatically updates and synchronizes its Mentor libraries between the CAD and PLM systems. One click is all it takes to upload a BOM, including the BOM XLS report generated in the desired format.

Kiepe Electric has significantly optimised its product development processes by directly integrating Aucotec ELCAD and Engineering Base into the PLM system PROCAD PRO.FILE. The traction supplier of electrically powered vehicles transfers the plans created with the Aucotec tools to PRO.FILE in a controlled manner. In doing so, this integration procedure generates the parts list in the defined format with guaranteed up-to-date components.

With its milling tools, ANCA CNC Machines is regarded worldwide as a trendsetter in the industry. All requirements were successfully implemented despite the extremely tight schedule for migration to Aras Innovator with NX integration. Focus was placed on the simple and reliable management of CAD assemblies with over 50,000 parts.

At Grundfos, a provider of intelligent pump systems and global player, the integration of Mentor PADS in their PLM system significantly increased the value added. Automated, bidirectional data and BOM management between ECAD and SAP improved data and process quality, and the generated manufacturing data minimized manufacturing errors.
