Aras Announces Latest Open Release of Advanced Enterprise PLM Platform

Aras announced download availability of the latest release of the Aras Innovator PLM platform and solution suite. The new release features a series of CAD-focused enhancements enabling Aras to deliver improved multi-CAD management performance. Additional highlights include enablement of the TRUaras secure cloud-based file exchange, support for Microsoft SQL Server 2012, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8 and IE 10, and other scalability, performance and usability improvements.

“With improved API capabilities and a unified CAD data model across mechanical and electronics, Aras is delivering a new level of multi-CAD management performance in this release,” said Peter Schroer, president of Aras. “We believe global enterprises with complex, geographically distributed design environments need greater scalability and much faster performance than they’ve been able to get from the other major PLM systems, and that’s why it’s been a key area of focus at Aras for this release.”

According to the company, the new release features a 10-times increase in speed and 10-times reduction in memory. Managed file transfer (MFT) capabilities via TRUaras from Trubiquity, a global provider of secure cloud-based MFT services, are embedded in the Aras Innovator PLM platform. With TRUaras, users can securely share and exchange large CAD assemblies, technical data packages, manufacturing data, inspection and test results and other intellectual property with full tracking and traceability.
