Join vdR Group, a long-time Autodesk partner, as we explore the various use cases of PLMConnect and learn more about implementation, related engineering change best practices, and PLMConnect Enterprise extensions that support broader connectivity into Vault, as well as the enterprise, for consumers of released product data across ERP, MES, CPQ, MRO, and more.

Take a walk through the Autodesk Fusion 360 connected data platform, from product design to manufacturing. Tour a seamlessly connected process that goes from Fusion 360 to Upchain to Fusion 360 Manage and finally to Prodsmart. The Team D3 rock stars for these products will be on stage presenting a coordinated role-based demo of product data passed through each primary product in the Fusion 360 cloud-based platform, powered under the hood by Team D3's ForgeFlow integration, existing Autodesk in-product integrations, and open-source tech sales demonstration tools such as Sven Dickmans' manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM) tool. We'll focus on the product experience and proof of the convergence use cases from beginning to end in the design-to-manufacture lifecycle. This session will focus on the Fusion 360 cloud products used for product design (Autodesk Fusion 360), product data management (Upchain), product lifecycle management (Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage), and manufacturing execution (Prodsmart), as well as a connected data pathway between them all.

Every year, we add new features to the Vault product. This class is to not only introduce those features but also discuss how to use them. After learning about the new features, we will discuss the Vault roadmap and how you can help drive the future of Vault.

Accurate transfer of Bill of Materials (BOM) data is a critical step in the design-to-production process. However, manually transferring this data to the ERP system can be time-consuming and error-prone. powerGate streamlines this process by providing a tool that enables precise and efficient transfer of BOM data to your ERP system, reducing the risk of errors and improving your business processes. powerGate offers an end-to-end integration between Vault and ERP, setting itself apart with its real-time live connection. This innovative feature allows for a seamless BOM data transfer and a two-way communication, providing instant feedback to users. With a strong focus on data quality and governance, powerGate prioritizes automation and workflow optimization to streamline processes. Its scalability and exceptional performance empower organizations to effectively handle large volumes of data and support their growth

In today's world, many companies require custom processes and solutions that are not covered by out-of-the-box implementations. APIs are a great way to bridge those gaps. Upchain offers a wide range of APIs that can be used to create custom integrations, automate workflows, and enhance data exchange between different systems and applications. Whether you're looking to connect your existing system with your product lifecycle management (PLM) platform, automate your business processes, or enhance your reporting capabilities, Upchain's APIs can help you achieve your goals and unlock new value for your business. In this interactive talk, we will explore basic Upchain capabilities, and how they can be achieved using available APIs. We'll also give an overview about other APIs that could be used to implement custom solutions and discuss best practices for creating effective custom integrations.
