In six out of ten companies, innovation teams circumvent data handling policies to share product information. These workarounds can jeopardize innovation projects. This is the conclusion of our Fall Study 2023 "Industry Study 2023, Data as a Success Factor". Employees take these workarounds because product information is distributed across different systems, organizations and locations. This doesn't have to be the case, because intelligent data federation solutions have long since allowed direct, rights-controlled access to data in any system - from the task context and the company's own system environment.

The aim of the DigiTain project, Digitization for Sustainability, is the 100% digitized development of sustainable electric drive architectures. Together, the total of 28 partners from industry and science are researching the most efficient, comprehensible methods, models and processes possible for interdisciplinary engineering. In line with our expertise, XPLM takes over data management and the control of information flows in the product development process.

Development teams, production, procurement and shipping - many teams need product data. Each needs different data, and as timely and digital as possible, so that they can incorporate it directly into their own processes. When technical data is conveniently available, teams work more productively. XSPHERE makes it easy to query data in other systems, according to access rights, from within your own system environment and without having to adapt systems or data models. The basis is web services, and you can find out what they enable here.

Further internationalization: XPLM opens location in Japan. The decisive factor was the increasing global demand for solutions for consistently available product data and digitized processes throughout the company. As the second largest single market for PLM systems, Japan was the next logical step.

Industrial companies are taking advantage of the potential offered by PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)-supported engineering processes. By means of mechatronic product development and product data provided to their entire supply chain, they realize the product variety expected by the market. At the same time, they manage to shorten the innovation cycles and to reduce costs. Especially in recent years, XPLM has therefore seen an exponential increase in demand for its intelligent CAD connectors for electrical and electronic engineering.

Investment strengthens XPLM as the world's leading independent provider of integration solutions proven thousandfold

XPLM Solution GmbH will be even more financially stable and thus more flexible in the future. Thanks to the investment by ARAS Corporation, XPLM, as an independent provider of system integration solutions, will be able to further develop and expand its globally unique portfolio even faster. The XPLM management emphasizes that XPLM will continue to act as an independent, autonomous company in order to protect the intellectual property of customers and partners and not to jeopardize the trusting relationships built up with them over the years.

The Digital Product Model Exchange Stadrard (DPMX) simplifies Circuit Board Designers and subcontractors their tasks, as it notably simplifies the exchange of data. Therefore, it is quite understandable that XPLM stands up for this standard.

Digitalization is still a hot topic – both as an instrument to optimize and as basis for data-driven business models. But also to present a professional image.

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.

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.

The X in front of PLM stands for the more than 100 integration solutions in the PLM world that have put our customers' data management and coordination processes on a secure, efficient and economical basis for almost 20 years.
