The Bremen-based companies have successfully developed a connector between CONTACT Software’s PLM solution and Synera’s AI agent platform for engineering. This integration combines efficient data management and digitalized processes.  Engineers often face intense pressure to deliver results in record time. The connector enables to fully automate design or analysis processes while ensuring that the correct data is being worked on. For example, CAD designers can push their latest design iteration to CONTACT's CIM Database PLM, then trigger a Synera AI agent to analyze the latest design for mechanical performance and generate a report. This automated solution avoids organizational bottlenecks and costly rework related to error-prone, manual data management, accelerating design outcomes. The collaboration builds on a successful foundation: CAIQ, a subsidiary of CONTACT Software, previously developed a CATIA V5 connector that allows engineers to remotely adjust the parameters of a 3D model in CATIA V5 directly from within Synera. Now a CATIA V6 version
