Aras Innovator combines enterprise open source technology with an advanced model-based service oriented architecture to deliver a highly scalable, flexible and secure PLM solution suite.

Our extensive out-of-the-box functionality and modern web-based, cloud-ready architecture enable you to deploy quickly and continuously enhance your PLM environment in a fraction of the time required by conventional enterprise PLM / PDM systems and at a total cost of ownership far below that of any leading competitor.

Traditionally companies face high initial costs to acquire a PLM or PDM solution, folled by unpredictable ongoing costs for support, maintenance and upgrades.

This places a huge burden of risk on companies, requiring them to commit significant expenses and resources long before the success of the system can be known.  Aras Innovator subscribers gain access to full PLM, PDM and Platform capabilities, significantly enhancing the scope and value of their solution.  Subscription access is designed for organizations using Aras solutions to manage business-critical processes and data.

Exactly what you’d expect from the software you trust. Creo 8.0 offers enhancements to model-based definition
(MBD), additive and subtractive manufacturing, generative design and simulation. You’ll also find usability and
productivity improvements to help you deliver better products faster.
Turbocharge your design process with Creo 8: the future of how you design

Design smarter today and tomorrow. With Creo Parametric you’ll be more productive than ever with the most robust 3D product design toolset and the new functionality you need to design the products of the future. It’s design the way it should be.

Creo Design Exploration Extension (DEX) is a dedicated tool for enabling the quick and easy investigation of alternative concept designs within the parametric environment. Using “checkpoints” Creo DEX eliminates the need to manage multiple versions of data and allows designers to move seamlessly back and forth between design branches.

Generative design autonomously creates optimal CAD model designs from a set of requirements you specify. Both of Creo’s generative design solutions help you deliver high-quality, lower-cost, ready-to-manufacture products, all within the Creo design environment. Choose to adapt the results or use them as a final design.

Generative design autonomously creates optimal designs from a set of system design requirements you specify. The result? A manufacture-ready design that you can use as the final design or choose to adapt.

GTO works within the Creo design environment to turn your ideas into reality easily, define your geometry, functional objectives, physics, materials and manufacturing processes. Your optimized designs are quickly generated to meet your requirements and converted into rich B-rep geometry so you can enjoy an uninterrupted parametric workflow.

It’s no secret that the pressure is building on designers to create lighter, faster, and stronger
products at lower cost that work the first time. Creo Simulation Live gives you real-time feedback on your design decisions as you make them. This fast, easy-to-use tool is fully integrated into the 3D CAD modeling environment. Now you can iterate more quickly, generate more options, and design with greater confidence.

Each time you make a change, it’s analyzed in seconds. That’s not just convenience and speed, that’s design guidance as a normal part of your workflow. No need to simplify geometry, create a mesh, or move between windows. Get to your best work faster, and enjoy the benefits of a tool developed specifically for the design engineer

A truly comprehensive suite of additive manufacturing capabilities. With creo you can design, optimize, validate, and print-check the highly complex geometry that can only be produced through additive manufacturing. Now with simulation-driven lattices.

These are challenging times. Designing the best product is no longer enough to stay ahead of the competition. Product developers, manufacturing and service process planners, supply chain managers, and sales and support teams are spread across the globe and require secure access to up-to-date product information.

Escape Inefficient Data Management

Without effective PDM, product design engineers are distracted from productively engaging in key design activities, resulting in time wasted searching for product information, recreating designs, updating systems, and responding to product data requests from the extended organization.

Agile manufacturing hinges on a seamless flow of information. To ensure that each product developed and manufactured satisfies all requirements and is of the highest quality, each stakeholder must be able to access the most up-to-date product information. Yet, digital data created by Engineering and Manufacturing is rich, varied, and rapidly evolves over time.

Windchill® Classification is a tool built on the Apache SOLR Classification Engine designed to enhance and simplify the user experience in a complex PLM/PDM world. Windchill Classification opens functionality as a bolt-on to Core PDM that enables Engineers to leverage searching/browsing to find and re-use Parts in a quick and intuitive manner. This module aims to bring time back to users by allowing them to locate and use information in a simplified method.

To succeed with product-related projects, companies are increasingly calling upon diverse and dispersed teams and information. In fact, a growing number of project teams span multiple disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, systems, software, product management, and even marketing. The key is to provide access to timely project information, and visibility into project status and completion.

Manufacturers are continually working to deliver tailored products to suit their markets, geographies, and industries.
By offering greater choices, manufacturers can better satisfy customer requirements to realize a competitive edge and pursue new market opportunities.

Windchill Product Quality is purpose-built for life science, medical device and bioscience innovators who seek to accelerate delivery of breakthrough medical products. It extends the industry’s leading PLM platform with best-practice processes harmonized for ISO 13485, EU MDR, and FDA TPLC and 21 CFR Part 820 regulations.
