InnovMetric, publisher of intelligent 3D metrology software solutions, offers the possibility of interconnecting product lifecycle management and digital 3D measurement ecosystems to facilitate the sharing of product definition and provide direct access to 3D measurement data.
InnovMetric has recently announced the launch of new PolyWorks|DataLoop PLM Connectors to interconnect product lifecycle management systems and the PolyWorks intelligent 3D metrology digital ecosystem. PLM connectors enable product engineering, manufacturing and 3D measurement teams to leverage shared product definition and 3D measurement data. Rapid access to the latest information facilitates new product development and increases the efficiency of quality assurance processes. Supported PLM systems include Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill and Contact CIM Database.
"Our main mission is to support the digital transformation of our customers' 3D measurement processes. With this in mind, our new PLM connectors play an essential role, as they ensure seamless digital interoperability between a customer's PLM system and PolyWorks solutions."says Marc Soucy, President of InnovMetric. "For PolyWorks|Inspector users, this means they can directly import their CAD models and data from the PLM system. Designers and manufacturing specialists now have access to 3D measurement results from their PLM interface. Thanks to PLM connectors, it is now possible to exchange digital data quickly and securely between the PLM and 3D measurement ecosystems - a dream come true! he adds.
Universal digital access to 3D CAD and measurement data
PLM connectors provide digital access to 3D CAD and measurement data for all PLM and PolyWorks users, eliminating the errors and time wasted by manual data exchange.
PolyWorks|Inspector users can search CAD models and assemblies that are stored in PLM, and directly import any revisions. PLM users can access 3D measurement data and results with a single click via lightweight inspection objects linked to projects stored in a PolyWorks|DataLoop 3D measurement database.
Digital PLM processes enhanced by 3D measurement data
According to the editor, PLM connectors enable proactive improvement of product quality by integrating valuable 3D measurement data into digital PLM business processes, such as :
- Engineering modifications: Access 3D measurement data from PLM to solve design and manufacturing problems, and verify the success or failure of a correction.
- Revision traceability: Document the causes of engineering changes with hyperlinks to 3D measurement data and relevant discussion threads.
- Approval process optimization: Improve the efficiency of existing PLM-based approval processes by linking CAD revisions to their corresponding 3D measurement data.
- Continuous improvement: Analyze the capability of your company's current manufacturing processes to improve future product designs.
