In a data-driven world, access to up-to-date and consistent product information is crucial. Development teams can only develop innovative products efficiently if this data is provided reliably in internal process chains and across companies . Without seamless data integration, this advantage remains unattainable.

Enterprise Integration through Data Exchange
The engine for innovation in the context of data-driven product development
Modern product development is facing ever greater challenges: increasing complexity, global collaboration and the need to make decisions based on accurate and up-to-date data. Data integration overcomes these challenges and is the key to remaining competitive.
Why is enterprise integration indispensable?
Mastering complex system landscapes
Companies use a variety of specialized software tools and business applications – from various authoring systems, such as CAD and simulation systems, to database solutions, such as SPDM, PLM and ERP. Integrating these systems is crucial to breaking down silos, automating data exchange and ensuring that each department has access to the information it needs.
Collaboration across company boundaries
Successful product development requires close cooperation with development partners, suppliers and customers. This global collaboration brings immense opportunities, but also challenges. Only stable, automated processes for data exchange can ensure that everyone involved is working on the same basis and that trust and efficiency are guaranteed.
Modern business solutions for data exchange
PDMconnect is our powerful software solution for the cross-company exchange of engineering data. Our Enterprise Integration offering helps companies with their day-to-day challenges:
Quality inspection and customization
Ensure that your product information meets the requirements. Tools such as the SmartX Viewer support you with comparisons, delta calculations and quality checks.
Data handling made easy
Connectors, e.g. for Siemens Teamcenter, extract relevant data from Teamcenter or import data into Teamcenter. PDTec SmartX Viewer is available for checking the data (e.g. delta analysis).
Cross-format conversion
Converters enable conversion between native and standard data exchange formats, for example ISO 10303 STEP 242, ensuring maximum compatibility.
Process automation and orchestration
Thanks to the PDTec BatchHub module, you can eliminate manual steps, automate and orchestrate the entire data exchange process for maximum efficiency.
PDTec Engineering Platform
PDMconnect is based on the PDTec Engineering Platform, the leading component architecture that sets new standards in areas such as composability. Designed for modularity, in which software is divided into individual functional components, PDMconnect meets your future requirements for openness and flexibility. Not only does this make it easier to integrate new functions and technologies, but your PDM solution can also grow in line with increasing requirements. This gives your software strategy more investment security and future viability!
The advantage of PDMconnect lies in the combination of several modules
Always up-to-date information
Data is obtained directly from your source PDM system and provided in predefined format for internal company systems – ideal for smooth further processing.
Improved data quality
Thanks to data comparisons and Delta Reports, the consistency and quality of your data is always guaranteed, even when working with external partners.
Automation for greater efficiency
Automated processes prevent errors, increase process reliability and speed up data exchange considerably.
Reliability and transparency
You can rely on correct, up-to-date data. At the same time, seamless traceability and transparency ensure optimized collaboration and greater user acceptance.
Flexibility through composable architecture
With its modular structure, SmartXChange adapts perfectly to your individual requirements. This cost-effective and quick-to-implement alternative to individual solutions saves time and money.
