Autodesk Vault Now Integrated with Canvas Envision Platform

Canvas GFX, Inc., provider of connected knowledge solutions for the manufacturing enterprise, has announced a new integration between the Canvas Envision model-based digital work instructions platform and the Autodesk Vault product data management (PDM) platform. 

The integration allows for CAD models stored on Vault to be inserted into Envision documents directly from the Envision Creator authoring application, and for Envision documents to be saved to and managed on the Vault platform. 

In addition, model-based content within Envision instructional documents, including visualizations, interactive embedded models, and animations, can now be linked to source CAD data stored on the Vault PDM platform, allowing for rapid updates to instructional documentation in the event of engineering changes.

“Integration and partnership are critical components of our strategy as we help our customers drive meaningful digital transformation intheir front-line operations,” says Patricia Hume, CEO of Canvas GFX. “The ability of Envision to function as a seamlessly integrated component of the wider manufacturing digital ecosystem is fundamental to our ability to drive measurable value for our customers.”

Other publicly announced integrations include the Aras Innovator product lifecycle management (PLM) platform and the Plex manufacturing execution system (MES) from Rockwell Automation. 

The latest news from Canvas GFX follows the recent announcement of multiple commercial and go-to-market partnerships, including with SolidCAD, and Engineering Industries eXcellence, to drive uptake of the Envision platform within the wider manufacturing sector.
