  • Benefit from the integration of TRUfusion Enterprise and the ENOVIA SmarTeam® PLM system to automate and streamline your product design data exchange processes?
  • Connect these two enterprise systems and use one user interface?
  • Integrate automated product data exchange with ENOVIA SmarTeam® workflows?
  • Review the status of your data exchange transactions without leaving ENOVIA SmarTeam®?
  • Increase user productivity by avoiding manual steps when sending product design data to customers and suppliers?

Realize Automated Internal and External Data Exchange Within the ENOVIA SmarTeam® PLM Solution

Many companies have invested in ENOVIA SmarTeam® to manage their product design data. This integration combines the benefits of this solution with those of TRUfusion Enterprise® which is used to automate, control and manage the distribution of product data and related documents both internally within an Enterprise® and externally to customers, partners and suppliers.

ENOVIA SmarTeam®

ENOVIA SmarTeam® is a scalable PLM solution to manage product design data from early concept design right through to the manufacturing phases.

TRUfusion Enterprise®

TRUfusion Enterprise® automates the manual importing, exporting, transformation, encryption and transportation of product design data. It enables global data exchange with all business partners. TRUfusion Enterprise® manages all backend data transformations and transfers while automatically storing details on all data exchange activities. Often more than 80% less time is needed with an automated process compared to manual processes for product design data exchange. This helps companies improve employee productivity and speed up decision making in their extended Enterprise® activities.

Integrate Both Systems - Improve, Simplify and Automate Design Collaboration Processe

With the integration of ENOVIA SmarTeam® and TRUfusion Enterprise® Trubiquity now provides the opportunity to use the functionalities of both systems at the same time. This means that you are able to benefit from TRUfusion Enterprise® functions within the ENOVIA SmarTeam® user interface without the need to use two solutions one after the other to achieve the task. Product design data exchanges can be executed within ENOVIA SmarTeam® directly without any manual intervention whilst TRUfusion Enterprise® works in batch mode in the background to guarantee reliable execution of necessary automated steps to deliver the right data, in the right format and at the right time.

An Integration to Provide New Functionalities

The integration of these two solutions enables users to exchange parts, assemblies, drawings and other related documents that the user has permission to access within the PLM system. Product structures can now be reviewed before they are exported or imported with the option for defining partner specific rules. The combination of ENOVIA SmarTeam® and TRUfusion Enterprise®, together with the bi-directional data exchange capabilities, shortens and simplifies all processes with the confidence that all transactions are recorded for audit trail and compliance requirements
