The DEXcenter enterprise solution is a web based application automating and managing the exchange of CAD data in a multi-CAD environment between customers, suppliers and partners. Highly configurable to fit with any PLM environment, it automates the running of CAD systems, batch processing and translation with the secure transmission of data to the recipients.
DEXcenter offers OEMs and suppliers a secure, SOA-compliant, vendor-neutral platform for automating CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM interoperability workflows, including:
- Supplier-OEM collaboration
- Legacy data conversion
- Model usability and validation
- Long-term data retention and archival
DEXcenter consists of a Global Collaboration Portal providing web access and a Process Automation Engine that automates CAD and other processing workflows. The Global Collaboration Portal can be used with the Process Automation Engine as a completely stand-alone server solution providing interactive "Push Button" data translation and exchange. Alternatively the Process Automation Engine can be integrated with existing PLM or other business applications to provide robust batch processing. Modular components can be included to support direct integrations for PLM systems, archival systems, third-party translators, intellectual property security and model-based validation.
The DEXcenter web interface provides easy accessibility to all users with standard web browsers. The user interface is designed to provide very easy use for occasional and casual users yet provide advanced functionality for expert users who need greater control and flexibility.
