Etrage announced that Chromalloy has successfully applied its Bulk Loader software tool and migration methodology in migrating the company's Creo model files and various documents to Windchill 10. Chromalloy is one of the world's largest non-OEM providers of advanced coatings, repairs and replacement parts for gas turbine engines.
 
The Etrage Bulk Loader is a fast and reliable way of migrating, uploading and checking-in a large quantity of CAD data, CAD metadata and documents from a Windows file system into Windchill. It validates against existing CAD files in Windchill and identifies conflicts.
 
According to the company, the Bulk Loader with the Etrage migration methodology provides an effective process for capturing the entire history in Creo and recreating it in Windchill PDMLink or INTRALINK.
 
A well respected consultant advised Masud Zaman, Chromalloy Manager of Technical Data Systems, on the benefits of the Bulk Loader software. As a result, Chromalloy saved several man months of effort to transfer data from one system to another.
