The vdR Resource Library includes demos, data sheets, whitepapers, case studies and more. The content is focused on the PLM, PDM, and integration solutions offered by vdR and our partners. Major content categories include document management, CAD connector demos, parts and BOM management, project management, component engineering, quality management and among others.
Having the ability to establish and maintain traceability of requirements to all system, design, testing and manufacturing data throughout the product’s lifecycle is critical to managing Digital Thread and Digital Twin. It is critical to managing ever-increasing product complexity.
The Aras Quality Management System (QMS) applications includes Quality Planning (proactive) and Quality Systems (reactive) to provide organizations with comprehensive quality management capabilities. QMS enables quality professionals to manage product quality throughout the lifecycle of the product.
Quality Planning is composed of features for proactive quality management traditionally done during the product development. Planning features include failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) capabilities to manage risk, improve quality, and attain environmental, regulatory, safety, medical, and other forms of compliance. The capability allows you to use Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) to control risks and mitigate critical product risks, deploy FMEA processes to achieve compliance with regulatory requirements and quality standards including TS/16949, AS9100, FDA QSR, manage libraries of critical characteristics, failure modes, effects, and control mechanisms, utilize ISO-compliant process flows to drive cross-functional collaboration, and create dashboards, scorecards, KPI metrics, and reports to track your project’s status.
Quality Systems addresses the challenge of quickly responding to quality issues and communicating change requirements enterprise-wide. QP includes closed-loop corrective action/preventive action (CAPA) features to accelerate identification, containment, and analysis of issues, and tracking of affected items. Identified issues are analyzed with a variety of Root Cause Analysis tools including fault tree analysis, fishbone analysis, and five whys. To ensure that issues are tracked and your teams are in the loop, QS provides 8D reporting and CAPA metrics (% closed, % due).
Together Quality Planning and Quality Systems constitute Aras Quality Management System, a closed loop, through lifecycle application for quality management professionals. Like all Aras applications, QMS is built on our Open, Flexible, Scalable, and Upgradable PLM Platform allowing organizations to tailor their business processes to their specific requirements with guaranteed confidence. Customer value is enhanced with additional platform capabilities such as quality review through Visual Collaboration, business rules and workflow, and aggregation and packaging of CAP items
#AskAras question is: What Makes Requirements Engineering Unique? Hear the answer from Rob McAveney, CTO of Aras.
Manufacturing Process Planning in Aras Innovator manages the complex process of transforming an EBOM (engineering bill of materials) to an MBOM (manufacturing bill of materials).
When it comes to product development, technologies for working together remotely require context, security, and traceability. Aras Innovator offers built-in Visual Collaboration--a discussion-thread style user experience associated with any item in the system and supported by a central experience for all discussions, mentions, and product updates throughout the system.
Few features in modern software applications make users more productive than Search. Aras Innovator Version 12 has been making many updates to its Search functionality, from the Table of Contents all the way through to the way you search for items to create new relationships across the platform.
See how simulation can be implemented across entire product lifecycle using Aras PLM Platform. This allows simulation studies to be part of Digital Thread and span interdisciplinary implementation details.
Learn about the Altium Vault Connector, a system that supports the development approach to product engineering, the management of BOM variants and differences within and between releases and the improvement of collaboration between electrical, mechanical, and software engineers.
If you've always wished your PLM system worked more like other software applications - with flexible options for multitasking - check out the new features in Aras Innovator Version 12 and see how flexibility enhances productivity!
The Aras Innovator sample application, Variant Management, helps companies who need to design for product platforms with modular architectures. Handling different product variants is a complex task requiring careful organization of which options and combinations can work together. Try it out today in our Variant Management sample application available on github (https://github.com/ArasLabs/vm-sample...).
