Aras 9.4 Release Highlights

Aras Innovator Recent Highlights

With a 10X increase in speed, 10X reduction in memory and 6X smaller XML / AML package size, the latest release of Aras Innovator enables us to deliver best in class multi-CAD management performance.

The newest release of Aras Innovator® features a series of CAD-focused enhancements enabling Aras to deliver best in class multi-CAD management performance. The latest release of Aras Innovator also includes expanded support for the Microsoft platform and the enablement of secure managed file transfer (MFT) capabilities called TRUaras from Aras partner Trub iquity, embedded in the Aras Innovator PLM platform. Companies with an Aras subscription package receive free upgrades to the latest release regardless of the amount of customization in the current deployment.


BEST IN CLASS MULTI-CAD PERFORMANCE

10X increase in speed, 10X reduction in memory and 6X smaller XML / AML package size make Aras Innovator the fastest PLM platform for Multi-CAD Check-in / Check-out. New Check-in / Check-out Manager capabilities streamline and automate the check in / out process for entire CAD assembly structures. With a rapid status check for an entire CAD structure, a single compressed metadata commit and high-performance parallel, asynchronous file check-ins for each level of the CAD structure, Aras users realize greater reliability and faster performance.

SECURE FILE EXCHANGE

Secure File Exchange leverages Aras’s connected cloud capabilities to enable managed file transfer from directly inside Aras Innovator, providing a secure way to transfer files and conduct regular data transactions while adding encryption, tracking and traceability. Secure File Exchange replaces disconnected multi-step procedures, such as FTP, and non-secure methods, such as email and consumer file sharing sites, to enable users to safely and confidently collaborate from within the Aras PLM environment across the extended enterprise with customers, suppliers, outsourcing partners and contract manufacturers.

TRUaras– Secure Managed File Transfer

TRUaras embeds Trubiquity’s advanced managed file transfer (MFT) inside the PLM work flow so that users can securely share and exchange large CAD files, technical data packages, manufacturing data, inspection and test results, and other intellectual property with full tracking and traceability. TRUaras is ideal for companies that need to exchange large sets of files with suppliers, such as CATIA, Creo and NX assemblies, or for companies that frequently transmit product designs such as PDX files to contract manufacturers.

TRUaras Highlights:
  • Powerful - Allows global supply chain partners with thousands of users to securely manage transfers of large, complex sets of file
  • Seamless - Embedded in the Aras PLM platform for an integrated user experience and maximum productivity
  • Performance - Industry leading transfer speeds with high availability and uptime
  • Encryption - Endpoint-to-endpoint security capabilities via authentication and multi-layer encryption including 128-bit SSL, 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and 1024-bit private key
  • Traceability - Complete audit trail of all file transfers including the date & time, companies and individuals that conducted file uploads/downloads
  • Visibility - Track and monitor file movement in real-time from pending transfer status to post transfer receipt
  • Compliance - Support for Odette OFTP2 compliance and export compliance such as ITAR and EAR (Export Administration Regulations)

EXPANDED MICROSOFT PLATFORM SUPPORT

Designed to take full advantage of the latest Microsoft platform products for the scalability and high availability required by global enterprises, Aras Innovator is enabled on Microsoft SQL Server 2012, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10.
