DEXcenter

ITI TranscenData's on-demand web based infrastructure, DEXcenter, allows global product data collaboration to be fast, efficient, and reliable while maintaining security and accountability. It is common for an organization to use ITI's Supplier CAD Data Collaboration solution as an overlay or replacement for their current systems. Many adopt our data exchange solutions because they can achieve significant results and return on investment without impacting hard decisions that have been made on existing PLM systems.

Some aspects of the DEXcenter framework include:

Security:

The collaboration infrastructure provides multiple levels of security to protect proprietary corporate assets. This includes private, secure access, encrypted transmission, and layered firewall security. DEXcenter is frequently used to provide a secure buffer between internal proprietary PLM systems and external suppliers, partners, and customers.

Accountability:

DEXcenter captures each transaction so there is always a record of exactly what data was sent, to whom it was sent, and when it was sent.

Regulatory Compliance:

ITI's product data collaboration solution can be configured to ensure regulatory compliance procedures are followed and to provide traceability.

Timeliness:

The standardized web infrastructure is available to any authorized user with a web browser anytime of the day. The streamlined automated procedures reduce the number of people who must be involved in an exchange. Clients report exchanges which once took days are now completed accurately, securely, and reliably in a matter of minutes.

Resources:

Typical manual processes in corporations involve many people including those with skills in high demand. The automated processes of a web accessible framework eliminate the need for highly skilled engineers and designs to spend their time performing largely repetitive, non-value added activities thus freeing them to concentrate on making better products. Computer resources are better utilized through concentrating processing to dedicated servers that provide high availability while minimizing software license requirements.

Multi-CAD Environment:

Collaboration partners typically utilize a variety of engineering tools. To exchange data effectively, data provided to partners or received from them should be immediately usable without requiring extensive manual rework or preparation. The CAD Data Exchange Automation aspect of DEXcenter provides robust functionality to provide fast, efficient, and reliable translation between CAD applications that can be configured to meet individual partner requirements.

Business Process Integration:

Unique corporate business processes must often be included when exchanging data for collaboration. This may include integration with a PLM system, an approval process, special CAD data processing, or proprietary transmission methods. DEXcenter open architecture supports customization to include these processes automatically. Additionally, ITI TranscenData's PLM Integration Solutions team has a great deal of experience in understanding and executing integration processes.

Proficiency

The Proficiency supplier delivery solution enables feature-based, native CAD files to meet product delivery requirements. The solution integrates with all major PLM solutions, complete with automated batch exchange, business logic driven rules and audit and verification reports.

You can cost effectively deliver designs that meet your customer specifications while protecting your intellectual property. As a supplier you can bid on opportunities based on your design expertise without concern to specific product data delivery requirements and not limited by their CAD system. With the ability to load balance designers you are able to reduce down time and improve productivity.

Sharing product knowledge information between design partners, the prime, the customer, different departments or divisions within a company or with manufacturing is essential for successful design collaboration.  Proficiency solutions provide automated results across the full spectrum of translation detail: from JT or STEP to native, feature-base CAD files. This allows you to meet required delivery formats while also providing the appropriate level of detail throughout the design and manufacturing processes. The result is more effective design collaboration, reduced time associated with manual translations, improved workflows and processes, more time for innovation, faster time-to-market and higher product quality.
