T-Systems Provides File Converter Framework for Aras PLM Platform

By DE Editors

Aras announced the availability of the File Converter Framework application for the Aras Innovator PLM platform developed by Aras certified partner and global systems integrator T-Systems International. The T-Systems File Converter Framework automatically translates files to a wide range of formats for viewing, collaboration and inclusion in PLM workflows within Aras. The application simplifies the sharing of files across the enterprise and with global supply chain partners, and eliminates the need for format-specific software licenses to view information.

The server-side File Converter Framework can convert files to one or more designated formats when a file is checked into an Aras vault anywhere in the world. When a new or modified file is saved to Aras, the File Converter Framework performs the conversions and attaches the new files to the defined Item Type, and users can then see the new files, as well as the original file, in Aras. The conversion process can be applied to multiple CAD file types including CATIA and Siemens NX.

Users can convert/check files in Aras and automatically attach the converted (or checked) files to the designated Item Type; perform custom file handling; set up new batch conversions; attach custom events to handle files; and monitor created fils and logfiles within Aras.
