Key Features
Connected, Simplified Administration
Deploy CAD, PDM and PLM instantly. With two cloud-native solutions, your BOM is always in sync, and your engineers, manufacturers, and suppliers can instantly and securely share product design information.
It’s one connected process. Sign your approvals in one location and track the latest product design, engineering changes (ECO/CO), and quality information throughout a product's lifespan.
Connect Your People
Improve communication by enabling multiple users to access information simultaneously and collaborate in real-time.
With Arena Scribe, an embedded chat tool, you can have formal and informal conversations as you move through your review process.
With Onshape’s Follow Mode, you can interactively screen share for peer-to-peer editing sessions during reviews addressing Comments and Markups as you go.
Connect To Your Data
Keeping product data in sync through the churn of rapid development cycles can be a challenge, but out-of-date information results in time, cost, and quality penalties.
With the Onshape Arena Connection you can make better decisions with all stakeholders always up-to-date, wherever they may be. Share product data (parts assemblies, drawings, bills of materials) and meta-data (categories, attributes, part numbers) accurately, securely, and in real-time.
Connect Your Processes
Keep design, operations, and manufacturing partners in sync with one process, enabling rapid change and innovation with less chaos. Sign off on a change in Arena PLM and your drawings in Onshape are automatically updated with the approved revision.
Move faster with Onshape’s versatile Release Management connected to Arena’s comprehensive Change Management. Sync part numbers and categories from Arena into Onshape and push BOMs and CAD neutral files from Onshape to suppliers in Arena.
Secure, Scalable Access
Eliminate downtime with secure 24/7 access to product data, bills of materials, and engineering change information from any device, anywhere.
User analytics and simplified licensing make managing access to CAD, PDM, and PLM easy, scalable, and cost-effective. With both Onshape and Arena using secure cloud storage, your IP is always safe and backed up, giving your organization full traceability and real-time visibility.
