Aras and IHS Partner to Deliver Next-Generation Cloud-based Component Engineering Embedded in PLM
Aras® today announced a partnership with HIS to connect the IHS cloud-based CAPS Universe Electronic Component Data into the Aras PLM platform for component engineering of new products and systems. The new component engineering capabilities will enable global companies to quickly find the right parts, compare electronic component details, part availability, environmental compliance, end-of-life obsolescence and more from within the PLM environment.
IHS CAPS Universe is a leading electronic component database containing part attribute data and documentation on hundreds of millions of parts from more than 2000 manufacturers worldwide. Aras users will be able to seamlessly access the IHS CAPS Universe data of electronic and electro-mechanical with powerful analytics from within Aras Innovator.
“As new products and systems include more and more electronics, having the component information needed for new designs integrated directly into the PLM workflow in Aras speeds innovation, improves productivity and assures compliance,” said Bob Braasch, Sr. Director Parts Management at IHS.
“Partnering with IHS enables us to embed interactive component data and analytics inside PLM for better design decisions,” said Peter Schroer, President of Aras. “Automatic product change notices, counterfeit alerts, end-of-life forecasts and other proactive notifications will help our enterprise customers reduce risk and improve component lifecycle planning as well.”
