Vault Professional data management software helps engineers and designers organize, manage, and track their design data. Vault Professional supports file-centered and item-centered environments, where files and items are the central data management units. In this session, we will explain the differences between these two environments, the benefits of using an item-centered vault, and the considerations for transitioning from a file-centered to an item-centered vault.

Fusion Lifecycle software can be deployed faster than any other PLM (product lifecycle management) tool on the market. This was tested for a company that wanted to take its ventilator project to production in the shortest time possible due to the COVID-19 ventilator shortage. A prototype of the ventilator was completed using Fusion 360 software. Now it is time to take it into mass production using Items and BOMs, ECO, and NPI Workspace of Fusion Lifecycle.

All great products start with an idea. See how Vault PLM software can help you get your latest product innovations to market on time and on budget.

Learn how to increase efficiency in your development process by implementing Vault software and Fusion Lifecycle software. In this class, you will hear about the journey Reynaers Aluminium took to move from its old product data management (PDM) system to a fully integrated solution: CAD, PDM, PLM (product lifecycle management), and enterprise resource planning (ERP). You will learn about the how and why behind our architecture and the lessons learned during implementation. Get insight into the place PDM and PLM have in our organization today, how they are connected with other core databases, and what our further digitalization road map looks like. Also discover how Fusion Lifecycle offers article lifecycle management as well as full project management by streamlining our NPI (new product introduction) flow. All project phases are implemented into Fusion Lifecyle, including a customized project management tab to enable real project planning. Integrating Fusion Lifecycle with Vault creates one common platform, resulting in an efficient way of collaboration as well as a single source of truth across the company.

The ideal lifecycle is possible. Everyone can manage change the way they want—and, in fact, they do. Because, the way you manage files now, regardless of whether you like it or not, is what you choose to do. To move past the basics of file management into the area of drawing revisions, approvals, security, and advanced property management, you need to deal with lifecycles. In this class, we’ll look at Vault lifecycles and help you decide which is the best course of action. This class will introduce you to the powerful tools that are available in Vault Workgroup and Vault Professional for revision management, approval workflows, and engineering change orders (ECOs). Learn how categories are used to control the flow of your data and how versions and revisions are intertwined. We’ll also cover how to apply different revision schemes and how to initiate and track change via a change order.

When used together, Vault Professional software and Fusion Lifecycle software provide a combined solution that is the best of all worlds for product data management (PDM) and product lifecycle management (PLM). While Vault runs on-prem to keep your CAD data safe behind your firewall, Fusion Lifecycle is cloud-based for flexibility and ease of deployment. With powerFLC (Vault Fusion Lifecycle connector), coolOrange offers an easy-to-use and flexible tool to combine Fusion Lifecycle and Vault processes. Previous versions of powerFLC included predefined workflows, and with the latest version of powerFLC, it is even possible to create custom workflows to synchronize any data between Vault and Fusion Lifecycle. This class will demonstrate the advantages of using both products together and show some of the endless possibilities of this integration.

2020 imposed upon us an unprecedented need to shift our workforces from office environments to remote ones. With this, many Vault users found themselves struggling to access their data, IT personnel had to scramble to set up previously unnecessary VPNs, and many companies found themselves struggling to maintain status quo amid the pandemic. Fusion Team is a suggested resolution to this data-access issue, but setting it up to work with Vault software without knowing the intricacies of that relationship will usually end with more frustrations than solutions. In this class, we will provide guidelines to maximize the efficiency and productivity of using Fusion Team with Vault software in order to keep your team up and running no matter what life throws at them.

In this session, you will learn about the proper care and feeding of your BOM, how to prevent using the wrong vendor to source your components, the evolution of the BOM, comparison and markup—what’s changed, and how to see the history. The past, present, and future of your product's bill of materials.

Surveyors, engineers, and governments all collect significant amounts of spatial data and supporting documentation such as design drawings and metadata. When undertaking new projects, it is important to have easy access to all the supporting information, especially in the context of geographic location. While you can store documents and their associated properties using document management systems such as Vault software or BIM 360 Docs software, those systems do not directly enable integration with a geographic information system (GIS). By accessing the Vault and/or Forge API along with Esri’s JavaScript and REST APIs, you can directly integrate GIS data to provide better, more versatile access to this data.

Last year we did a class (“How to Use Fusion 360 and Inventor for Effective Designs”) where we linked Fusion 360 files with Inventor using Desktop Connector. The most requested addition to that was to link those files into Vault software, so this year we’ll go through some of the different configurations for how we can load and manage these Fusion 360 files in Vault. Some of the things we will look at include creating the connection and adding the files, as well as managing the files; and we’ll also discuss version and revisions of the files in Vault.
