Which problem does Aras InnovatorEdge solve?

Challenge: Product data lives in PLM, but it is needed elsewhere too. ERP and MES need the valid structure and change status, a supplier needs its own slice of the data, and a quality inspector needs it on the shop floor without the full PLM client. When the data does not flow, it travels as Excel exports and email attachments, and every portal becomes a custom project of its own.

Solution: Aras InnovatorEdge turns the data and functions of Aras Innovator into governed APIs, and integrations, task apps and AI agents are built on those. Data and processes stay in Aras Innovator, and Edge controls who gets to see what.

What does Aras InnovatorEdge include?

  • Edge API: APIs are defined with a low-code tool instead of custom integration code: you choose which data and functions to open up, for example to an ERP, MES, CAD, IoT or analytics system. Policies, keys and auditing are managed centrally.
  • Edge Builder: Lightweight, task-based web apps and portals are built on the Edge APIs and hosted in the Aras cloud. A supplier sees and updates only its own parts, quality gets its own view, and an approver signs off a change without opening the full PLM client.
  • Edge AI: Services for building, running and governing AI agents on the product data in Aras Innovator. Read more: Aras InnovatorEdge AI.
