“To power the next wave of global industrial productivity, GE is investing in critical foundational capabilities for the Industrial Internet," Steve Taub, the managing director of advanced manufacturing and enterprise at GE Ventures, said in a statement.

Given the amount invested and the reputation of the investors, CIMdata sees this as well-deserved recognition of Aras’ position in the global PLM industry, as well as their future potential. Their innovative technology and business model are well proven at this point and continue to gain traction in the marketplace.

Aras has managed to produce a solution that effectively covers what tend to be weak spots in large corporation’s PLM environments: supplier collaboration and simplicity to upgrade. Add in the fact that there are no license fees (Aras is free to download) and it becomes obvious that the solution has a couple very hard-to-resist advantages.

“Aras embodies this strategy with a game-changing platform and ‘SaaS Anywhere’ approach that has proven very compelling to customers, and we are excited about Aras’ next stage of growth." -Martin Fichtner, managing director of Silver Lake Kraftwerk.

The T-Systems International PDM Workbench 5.0 is available and provides a bunch of new and improved functionality. New “Rep Types” can be defined as non-BOM relevant CAD Documents, e.g. “CAD_KIN” for kinematics. All “Rep Types” can be handled easily with the full CATIA-integrated GUI of PDM Workbench. A step to improve usability in large structures like Aerospace is the possibility to load just portions of a structure, but maintaining the geometrical context – hence reducing data traffic and load time in CATIA. Also the handling of configuration information is improved by enabling the handling directly within CATIA. Please visit our homepage to see the full list of new functionality in the release notes.

The T-Systems International PDM Workbench 6.0 is available and provides a bunch of new and improved functionality. Focus with this release was improving download performance by enabling the release cached. Now it is possible to save even more time for the designers. Also options for only loading visualization is available. Please visit our homepage to see the full list of new functionality in the release notes.

“With this latest release of Aras Innovator, we continue to expand the Aras PLM Platform, whether building out the Quality Management System application for the specific needs of quality professionals or extending the platform to connect Engineering, Manufacturing, and Service to enable Digital Thread."

Quality management professionals face the challenge of quickly responding to quality issues and communicating change requirements enterprise-wide. The new Quality Systems (QS) component in Aras QMS connects the proactive and reactive aspects of quality management, and fully integrates quality processes into engineering and manufacturing.

"We are on fire, the company, since about 2013-2014 has been growing,” said Aras CEO Peter Schroer during his ACE 2017 keynote presentation in front of a slide showing a 51% compound annual growth rate. “I gotta say … it’s because of you guys. The community is pushing us to continue to expand the product, build the scalability, build out the partner community so we can cover you everywhere. I would say the switch to open source, the opening up of everything we do — it’s an experiment and it’s played out perfectly.”

Aras Quality Systems enables Closed-loop corrective action/preventive action (CAPA) – accelerates identification, containment, and analysis of issues, and tracking of affected items; Root cause analysis (RCA) – offers a variety of RCA tools; fault tree analysis, fishbone analysis, and five whys; collaboration – supports quality review through Visual Collaboration, business rules and workflow, and aggregation and packaging of CAP items; and Reporting – provides 8D reporting and tracking of CAPA metrics (% closed, % due).

Even more surprising is the announcement from Aras CEO Peter Schroer that the company has appointed Tony Affuso, Siemens PLM's former CEO and a seasoned PLM expert, to its Board of Directors. Tony Affuso was the one responsible for pushing through the deal in which Siemens acquired UGS. This purchase added NX and I-deas (high end CAD), Solid Edge (mainstream CAD), Teamcenter (PDM/PLM), Nastran and Femap (CAE), Tecnomatix and more to the Siemens portfolio.

Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd. has selected Aras Innovator to standardize management of drawings, data, design and development processes of the company’s wide portfolio of products. After implementation with Aras Certified Partner Hitachi Systems, Aras will standardize processes in engineering data management and workflow management across the company’s main manufacturing plants in Japan, Thailand and China.

Former French president Charles de Gaulle once famously complained about the difficulty of governing a country that had 246 different kinds of cheese. In the time since that statement was made, life for both societies and enterprises has become even more complicated, and the hardship of ruling diversity, illustrated by this “cheese analogy,” has grown exponentially

IBM, Aras Corporation and OSI Soft today are launching new IBM Digital Twin capabilities, to create multiple views of products by bringing together various ‘digital threads’ and data streams that can be tailored to the needs of a particular user.

Digital transformation is one of the key issues at Schaeffler. The Engineering Cockpit application is one of the central tools to connect all disciplines and systems. The Engineering Cockpit is a web-based application allowing direct access to development data for a large number of development centers. It supports the company-wide configuration and change management in the initial phase.

Schaeffler´s Engineering Cockpit provides up to 20,000 users with role-based access to information across multiple disciplines, interfaces, systems, and authoring tools to make better decisions. The collaboration with Schaeffler is the first result of the partnership between Aras and IBM that was announced in December last year.

TEC’s principal analyst PJ Jakovljevic what this deal means for the future of product development and what product companies stand to gain in the era of digital transformation.

3DViewStation V2014 ships with a fresh Office 2013 compliant user interface and provides functionality, which can be leveraged by the user quite intuitively. The focus of the latest developments has been set to customization of the user interface and BREP export capabilities.

The KISTERS 3DViewStation now provides several additional ways of UI customization: a pure left mouse button mode has been added to simplify the usage for occasional and also tablet-PC (finger) users. Mouse users now can determine, which functions should be performed when pressing the middle or right mouse button. The quick access toolbar can be customized and is pre-set now, so that frequently used functions are available without accessing the ribbon menu. Also, accelerator keys are defined for several functions and can be customized as per the user’s needs. Finally via XML the complete UI of the KISTERS 3DViewStation can be redefined.

KISTERS has announced the support for mobile users with the need for powerful 3D CAD viewers. The KISTERS 3DViewStation product family is available on many mobile devices and is known for the modern user-interface, high performance 3D-viewing, current and mature CAD-importers plus a reasonable set of functional tools to view, analyze and communicate 3D-data.

A company implementing PLM faces many challenges. One of the typical challenges is to get data from sources like CAD into the PLM system. Having an automatic integration between the PLM system and CAD is an option, but it is often costly, and for many companies the number of CAD users is too low to justify the investment.

בלוג יולי – הגרסא החדשה של
Aras Innovator

בתחילת החודש (יולי 2011) שוחררה הגרסא החדשה של
גרסא Aras Innovator – 9.3.0
אישית – חיכיתי בכיליון עיניים לגרסא החדשה כיוון שהיא כוללת בתוכה אוסף עצום של יכולות חדשות וחזקות במיוחד.

The ShapeSpace 3D Search tool for Aras extends the searching capabilities of Aras to enable searching by shape. For the first time, this puts advanced and affordable 3D search capabilities into the hands of organizations giving them the opportunity to improve part re-use, reduce the part number counts, aggregate and consolidate bought in parts, and drastically reduce external spend.

Imagine an organisation with thousands of products broken down into tens of thousands of parts. Now consider their drawings repository, all tagged with non-uniform descriptions and part numbers, often shared across several departments and offices. What a nightmare! How do they find a specific part in a hurry? Hope the description was entered intuitively? Rely on the accuracy of the part number? What about duplicates – aren’t they costly and confusing? ShapeSpace solves the problem. Shape-Space is a unique 3D search engine which enables you to re-organise, re-catalogue and eradicate duplicates in your massive drawings archive in hours.

I ett telefonsamtal i veckan med Leon Lauritsen på Minerva i Danmark talar vi om att man i varje samtal där begreppet "open source" förekommer, först behöver enas om vad det betyder. Leon är representant för Aras Innovator (PLM) som använder uttrycket Enterprise Open Source om sin produkt. Han säger också att open source-budskapet ibland gör kunderna oroliga. Att köpa eller hyra ett program är liksom enkelt. Men när det handlar om open source så blir affärsmodellen betraktad från alla håll den också, inte bara själva produkten som kan komma att användas. Och det är klart att det inte är så dumt att syna sina affärspartners oavsett om det handlar om ett köp, hyra eller "open source-användning". Men inget säger egentligen att det skulle vara helt tryggt att köpa och hyra eller helt otryggt att ta hem en vara "open source"? Det handlar kanske mera om att vänja sig vid modellen. Det menar i alla fall de som jobbar med "open source".

Because design engineers often lack browse and search capabilities, the business of finding a part within a large component library can be complex and time consuming, especially when the name or part number is unknown. Naturally, this problem tends to make finding and reusing existing parts extremely difficult. A solution to this problem is available in the form of ShapeSpace, a 3D shape search technology provides engineering companies with a comprehensive 3D CAD search tool.

Control valve manufacturer Bifold wanted to drive changes in their manufacturing processes which would cut costs and deliver measurable improvements in reliability and performance. Using ShapeSpace 3D search technology to search their entire part reference library and identify all parts manufactured from the same raw material, Bifold were very quickly able to consolidate manufacturing processes and improve efficiencies. “As well as being leaner, greener and more efficient, we are able to turn around customer orders in a more reliable timeframe as the majority of parts are always ‘on the shelf’," said Mike Peacock, General Manager at Bifold.
