Data Enrichment – Static and Dynamic Sources Part 1

As mentioned in a prior post, CAD models are like mini databases, and these CAD models represent just part of a bigger picture. There’s related data in other apps like product lifecycle management (PLM), enterprise content management (ECM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO). For example, a part referenced in a CAD model might have pricing and vendor data in ERP, maintenance data in MRO and user manuals in an ECM environment. There are multiple connections, but rarely is this related data found and/or virtually connected. That’s where data enrichment can add significant value to the wealth of information CADnection extracts from CAD models.

CADnection “Smart Parsing” for Normalizing Measurements and Labels

In our last blog post we talked about CADnection and looked at the solution’s core capabilities comprised of extraction, data enhancement, and CAD model visualization. This post takes a closer look at the first of these capacities to better understand a key piece of the extraction approach referred to as “smart parsing”. We’ll look at the technology and how it solves the issue of maintaining data’s context when extracting information from dissimilar CAD model formats. This improved context is what enables downstream capabilities such as data enrichment and normalization.

Highlighted Demo - Better Understand your PLM Data with Graph Navigation

Graph Navigation is a platform service introduced in Aras Innovator 11.0 SP15 that allows users to quickly visualize and navigate data structures via a node-edge graph. Since Graph Navigation is a service of the Aras Innovator platform and not a feature of a specific application, users can explore data across all applications. Graph views also obey the permissions and access controls defined for your item data.
