Smart Materials, being a flexible and open materials management system, incorporates open interfaces to those engineering systems and CAD systems with the highest market significance and thus allows several convenient ways to exchange data with these systems.
With the Open Ident Interface, new import functionality that addresses an important area of data take-on has been added. The OII interface allows the import of unstructured ident data into the standardization module of a Smart Materials database. The most valuable application of this interface is the import from 3rd party systems or legacy systems where the old data does not fit into the Smart Reference Data, but where it is required to quickly and easily have this data available for the Smart Materials Bill of Material module or for BOM data import via the Smart Materials Open MTO interface (OMI).
