Everyone is faced with the challenge of finding better ways to manage, protect, collaborate and share product information in order to stay competitive within today’s global product lifecycle environment. With product development, manufacturing and suppliers geographically dispersed, connecting your resources and the product information they are generating is critical to remain successful.

During this presentation, Essig PLM will highlight how companies can leverage and share their rich CAD data and structures via direct Connectors to Aras PLM. A direct connection between CAD and PLM allows accurate and timely information to be immediately shared and synched, including the CAD-driven BOM, eliminating the need for any middleware or manual data re-entry. With the top level EBOM – derived from multi-CAD data – now managed in PLM, companies can benefit from the features of Aras such as visualization, BOM reports, Manufacturing Process Planning, Quality Management and more.

As an Aras Gold Certified Partner and Reseller, Essig PLM develops integrated CAD Connector products for the Aras Innovator PLM solution suite and delivers CAD/PLM implementation services that enhance business performance. Essig PLM Connectors include support for SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD, NX and Creo.
