eQube Mendix App (Multi PLM + ERP)
This is an example of a For Purpose application. An automotive OEM manages PLM in Teamcenter. This EOM has two key suppliers who deliver the sub-assemblies. But these suppliers do not use Teamcenter to manage their PLM data. They use two different PLM applications -ARAS and Windchill.
The OEM is the design authority and needs to see the consolidated Engineering BOM across all three PLM systems (Teamcenter, ARAS and Windchill).
In addition to the eBOM data, the OEM also needs to see information related material information of the eBOm alon with the Cost in their ERP system.
Here eQube-MI exposes Services to all the applications involved, and an intuitive user interface is built using Mendex, which consumes these services.
The user gets a single view of data spear across 4 systems and is able update data through this single view, to multiple systems, without having to login to the individual systems.
This brings a huge gain in productivity.

eQube Mendix App (Navy Demonstrator)
This is a For Purpose application built as a demonstration for the Navy. All the infrastructure is built into the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
The ship referred to as "Afloat" accesses applications in the VPC, and updates Flight recovery logs of planes taking off and landing on the ship. The for purpose application internally connects to multiple applications as shown in the video, and updates multiple applications using a common user interface. Behind the scenes eQube-MI API gateway orchestrates the data movement from each application and provides a simple interface for the user.
The data from this instance (Afloat) instance of the VPC is then synchronized with the Ashore instance. And in a similar manner multiple ships can synchronize data ashore. The demonstration shows a complete app which can very easily manages multiple application such as SAP, Teamcenter, SQL Anywhere as well eQube-BI for Business Intelligence built into this For Purpose application

eQube Mendix App (Teamcenter + SAP)
This is an example of data federation between Teamcenter and SAP using eQube-MI & Mendix
This is an example of data federation between Teamcenter and SAP using eQube-MI & Mendix More often than not, it is not essential to integrate data between applications within an organization. It is more convenient to view and update related data across two or more systems on a single user interface.
In this example, the eBOM is fetched from Teamcenter, and at the same time the Material information and cost information is fetched from SAP - all related to the same eBOM information. The result is that all information connected to this eBOM can be seen by the user on a single screen. But more importantly the user can work with this consolidated information across multiple applications and edit this information.
Behind the scenes eQube-MI updates the changed data in it's home system transparently. The user no longer needs to log into each of the systems and update the data individually.
eQube-MI API gateway is used to fetch and update data. The services are exposed as ReST Services. These ReST services are consumed by Mendix. Mendix is used to build the federation application UI.

Business Intelligence & 'visibility'
eQube-BI provides analysis of data on-demand, near real-time, providing single version of truth accessed under established security rules. There is no data warehouse required, the data is fetched from production systems on the fly.
Businesses require analysis of data on-demand, near real-time, providing single version of truth accessed under established security rules. In addition, business users are not satisfied with having a static final analysis or KPI as the end state. Rather, KPIs, dashboards, or detailed reports represent the beginning of the analysis cycle. They require the ability to drill-down / drill-through the KPIs until they reach a point where 'action (s)' can be taken. Actionable insight is what they are after.
Due to the explosion of technology at dramatically lower price-points, it is creating newer business approaches from marketing to personalized promotions to providing preventive maintenance as required by devices / machines. With the advent of Industrial Internet (IIoT), inexpensive sensors are set to revolutionize medical devices, automobile, shipbuilding, gas turbine manufacturing, aerospace, defense, and retail businesses. These tectonic shifts in technology and their applications are resulting in explosion of volume, variety, and velocity of data - creating a substantial demand for Big Data analytics.
eQube-BI establishes a "Rapid-BI" infrastructure for enterprise-wide visibility. Its technological underpinnings of "in-memory" analytics, "in-context" analytics, and its innovative algorithms allows it to sift through massive amounts of data in parallel and present the necessary analysis in intuitive manner. It is able to correlate and mash-up critical information from streaming data or huge quantity of simulation / analysis data with PLM, ERP, and ALM data for Actionable Insight. Essentially, the eQube-BI architecture is ready today to effectively deal with the challenges of Big-data analysis.

DOORS to Teamcenter Integration
DOORS to Teamcenter Integration using eQube-MI
This is a scenario in which both DOORS as well as Teamcenter applications participate in workflow accross the organization, with the help of iQube-MI which helps move the data back and forth between the two applications.
This is a scenario in which the requirements is managed in DOORS application, and this information is updated in Teamcenter using eQube-MI. The updated requirement is submitted to the workflow by eQube-MI during the process of updating the change in requirements in Teamcenter for somebody in the Engineering / design team to address this requirement change for allocation of the part.
The design engineer then creates a tracelink for the part allocation, and then user sings off on the worklist in Teamcenter and completing the Part alocation process.
The moment the signoff happens eQube-MI synchronizes back the part allocation event, into DOORS.
The videos shows how the update done in DOORS is propagated to Teamcenter. It shows how the event has got submitted to the workflow, and then how the user signs of the part allocation. Once part is allocated the updated information is shown in DOORS.
It also shows how eQube-MI was configured carry out this organizational process is orchestrated between two different application systems

Migration - NX to Teamcenter
This is a typical scenario where many organizations use home grown / legacy PLM systems and use NX for CAD management, and are now looking at moving to Teamcenter for their PLM.
Here is a demonstration of NX data and PLM data from legacy system is moved to Teamcenter. NX data as well as the metadata from legacy PLM system is inserted into a database for this purpose as a first step. The problem faced here is that the data in NX and the legacy system does not always match
eQube-BI the business intelligence software is used to compare the data between NX files and the legacy PLM system. In this example the report highlights data mismatch between legacy PLM system and NX file.
After analyzing the report comparison, 3 anomalies are highlighted. And after seeing these anomalies, it was decided how to address these situations.
1.The legacy BOM has a Part, but there is no CAD file for it. This could be a bought out item and therefore there is no CAD in NX, and therefore after moving this data to Teamcenter, the "No GEOMETRY flag is set indicating that there is no CAD file is associated with this part.
2.There are instances of excess number of occurrence of the part, in the legacy PLM system compared to the CAD system. Here also the "NO GEOMETRY" Flag is set during the migration
3.There instances of part missing in legacy system, but present in CAD system. In this case "Reference only" flag is set
4.There instances of excess occurrences in CAD system as compared to Legacy system. In such a case during the migration "Reference only" flag is set.
Using the above rules the migration is carried out. The trigger for the migration is shown. The actual Visual process that orchestrated the migration is shown, the mapping / business rule of the data shown in eQube-TM is shown
The Generic migration Process (GMP) configuration on eQube-MI is shown where sequence of migration, number of threads, batches for the migration etc. is configured.
Finally the migrated data is shown in the new application - Teamcenter.
