Razorleaf Corporation introduced Clover, its new open integration platform that is designed to provide any-to-any endpoint integrations to support a rapid implementation, migration or upgrade of PLM applications and databases. Clover’s integration capabilities will exchange data with systems outside of PLM including ERP, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Industrial Automation, 3D hardware, and Content Management Systems (CMS) using open interface protocols. PLM/CAD vendors supported include Dassault Systèmes®, ARAS®, Autodesk®, DriveWorks, SharePoint, Infor, Siemens and others. “The Clover platform is a result of our long-standing experience in creating CAD/CAM/PLM integration endpoints,” stated Eric Doubell, CEO of Razorleaf Corporation. “We now have created an industry standard application integration platform that has a flexible architecture and can scale easily based on its endpoint applications. This platform helps our customers retain the feature sets they have come to rely upon in their application investments and allow for a more controlled migration path forward when upgrading is

Granta Design announced new capabilities in its GRANTA MI™ materials information management system, further enhancing materials support for enterprise Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). A new web app answers the often-crucial question: 'Where is this material used?', CAD users benefit from a new approach to exploring alternative materials, and there is a new option for PLM integration. GRANTA MI enables enterprises to efficiently manage vital proprietary information about their engineering materials, combine it with a comprehensive library of reference data on materials properties, and apply the resulting knowledge-base—including within PLM, CAD, and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE). The new ‘where used?’ app enables designers selecting a material from their GRANTA MI database to query their PLM system to find out which of their existing products or parts already contain that material. When considering a plastic for a new product, for example, the designer may want to know where else that
