Synera and CONTACT Software automate engineering with new connector

The Bremen-based companies have successfully developed a connector between CONTACT Software’s PLM solution and Synera’s AI agent platform for engineering. This integration combines efficient data management and digitalized processes.

Engineers often face intense pressure to deliver results in record time. The connector enables to fully automate design or analysis processes while ensuring that the correct data is being worked on. For example, CAD designers can push their latest design iteration to CONTACT PLM, then trigger a Synera AI agent to analyze the latest design for mechanical performance and generate a report. This automated solution avoids organizational bottlenecks and costly rework related to error-prone, manual data management, accelerating design outcomes.

The collaboration builds on a successful foundation: CAIQ, a subsidiary of CONTACT Software, previously developed a CATIA V5 connector that allows engineers to remotely adjust the parameters of a 3D model in CATIA V5 directly from within Synera. Now a CATIA V6 version follows, further closing the gap between traditional CAD environments and agile, automated engineering processes.  

By working closely together in Bremen, the two companies are setting a new benchmark for regional collaboration with global impact. "This collaboration is just the beginning – we see enormous potential in continuing our joint innovation efforts to empower engineers with even more seamless automation across CAx environments," said Andrew Sartorelli, Product Management & Partnership Lead at Synera.

"We share the same DNA when it comes to open technology and innovation," adds Frank Patz-Brockmann, Director Product, Operations & Development at CONTACT Software. "By combining our expertise, we are making engineering processes significantly more agile and interconnected – an essential step towards the AI-powered future of digital product development."

Through this deepened partnership, Synera and CONTACT Software are helping customers worldwide – from automotive to aerospace – optimize engineering efficiency, unlock innovation potential, and scale their product development processes for the digital age.
