Automations

With Violet Automations, you can fetch as well as sync data between your integrations.

For example, synchronize part data between your PLM and ERP (like Teamcenter and NetSuite), or purchase order data between your procurement and ERP tools (like Silkine and ION).

How does it work?

This powerful feature works by ingesting and mirroring data from a source app into Violet, then pushing it to a downstream tool that has a known, mapped data structure.

Once an automation is created, Violet will continue to push new revisions to the target app when they occur.

You can configure rules for your data sync as well, for example only syncing parts that are Released, contain a certain Part Number prefix, etc.

Read on for more info on some of our most popular automations:

Teamcenter to ION

Save your engineering team valuable time by automating a typically manual task: pushing assemblies from Teamcenter into your ION parts library.

This automation is configurable in a number of ways:

  • Push parts on an individual basis, or by default for your entire Teamcenter instance

  • Configure rules for which parts you want to push, for example pushing only released parts

  • Update revision scheme post-push to ensure consistency in ION

Teamcenter to Netsuite

This automation pushes assemblies from Teamcenter to NetSuite to populate Inventory items.

This automation is configurable in a number of ways:

  • Push parts on an individual basis, or by default for your entire Teamcenter instance

  • Configure rules for which parts you want to push, for example pushing only released parts

Teamcenter to Datum

This automation pushes CAD metadata and files from Teamcenter into Datum as Parts and Files.

When configuring your Teamcenter integration, select Datum in the dropdown menu to push part information to Datum’s part library.

Detailed information can be found here.

Solidworks PDM to Fusion

This automation allows you to sync assemblies from Solidworks PDM into Boltline.

Currently, this automation supports Solidworks PDM via .csv import. A Solidworks plugin is on our feature roadmap and launching soon.

Follow the instructions here to get started.
