1.2.1. Overview

What is PLMsynchro?

  • PLM Synchro is a standard product for the creation of own part catalogs from CAD, PLM and ERP data and as such integrated in PARTdataCenter.

  • A Wizard guides through the basic steps and significantly eases the creation of your own parts catalog (see ???).

    A process pipeline is automatically created, where all single processes can be adjusted in detail via nodes and edges - if needed.

    Through the devision in different process steps specific customization is possible.

  • Furthermore the integration of plugins allows flexible customization.

  • Data import happens one time initially. Then during a nightly (for example) data synchronization data changes at article master, class structure, etc. are transferred by automated processes.

With the help of plugins and extensive configuration options, the information can be enriched, filtered and modified.
