Theorem Data Translators Selected by Webasto to Supports its PLM Strategy
CATIA V5 to ProductView Adapters Rolled Out at Five International Sites
Advanced data translators from Theorem Solutions have been selected by leading automotive equipment supplier, Webasto to provide fast and accurate transfer of CATIA V5 product models into the ProductView™ visualisation application at five company locations world-wide.
Webasto’s design and manufacturing sites in Europe, Asia, South Africa, the USA and Australia not only employ CATIA V5 as their principal design system, but also collaborate with automotive OEMs who frequently distribute product data to supply partners in this format.

The use of CATIA V5 is complemented by Webasto’s Product Life Management strategy, which is based on PTC’s Windchill™ application, with ProductView™ as the company’s visualisation format of choice.
The ability to bridge the mix of software vendors’ products by the complete and accurate transfer of CATIA V5 components, assembly data and 2D drawings into ProductView™ is a key requirement. In addition, the link between the two systems must be able to provide visualisation data automatically as part of the product design release cycle.
Theorem’s CATIA V5 to ProductView™ Adaptor has fully met these challenges. It not only achieves the required data translation and compatibility with Webasto’s visualisation system, but also dovetails with their data management philosophy through its Windchill compliancy. As a result, the customer has taken the decision to deploy it internationally at sites throughout Germany, France, Japan and the USA.
Commenting on the order, Theorem's General Manager, Keith Jeacock said: “Webasto has experienced the benefits of our product data translation technology - as a user of our on-line translation service, cadverter.com. Our CATIA V5 to ProductView™ Adaptor is a perfect fit for their requirements, by facilitating close integration between the group’s visualisation and PLM systems.”
“Webasto is a world renowned supplier to automotive OEMs and the aftermarket sector around the world and we look forward to ensuring that its engineers achieve excellent results from this and other products that they may buy from us in the future.”
