FEATURES

Why CoreFace?

CoreFace is more than just another interface for your PTC Windchill system. The following features set CoreFace apart from other interfaces and are the reason why you too can benefit from introducing CoreFace into your company!

Software as a Service

We provide CoreFace as a service so that you do not have to install and operate the interface. It’s operated in an independent tenant in the AWS Cloud and communi­cates with the connected systems via interface standards. Leverage all the intelligence and flexibility of a modelable and configurable integration platform designed to integrate your Windchill(+) and ERP systems. Harness the power of the cloud and stay up to date with minimal effort.

Multi system integration

No problem for CoreFace. CoreFace is designed for the integration of n:n systems. Triggers in connected systems start independent commands that have a clear target system. Design the n:n integration scenarios as required for your processes.

Modellable and configurable

CoreFace provides no code standard modeling and configuration capabilities and uses RESTful APIs, ODATA and other WEB services. CoreFace is highly scalable through cloud technologies and can be used for five or thousands of users.

Continuous updates

CoreFace is continuously beeing developed and maintained for all our customers. We provide the latest versions of all supported Windchill(+) and ERP connectors and provide regular updates. Due to the system architecture, updates to the connectors have minimal impact on CoreFace itself. Updates have never been easier.

FUNCTIONS

What makes CoreFace?

System connector (n:n)

CoreFace allows several systems to be linked. Access to the linked systems can be configured and functionality tested in the system connector.

Trigger configuration

Each interface transaction is triggered by an event in one of the linked systems. The triggering events can be defined in the trigger configurator in relation to the source system.

Command modeler

An interface transaction is modeled in a command. The incoming data can be validated and processing can be controlled according to the requirements. For example, material masters can be created in SAP based on the part type in Windchill(+) with different field mappings.

Object mapping

CoreFace transfers data from a source system to a target system. CoreFace has its own object model. The source data required for a transaction can be selected and mapped in the CoreFace object model.

Field mapping

Creating or changing data in the target system requires fields or attributes of the source data to be mapped to fields of the target object. As a rule, a 1:1 mapping is not sufficient. CoreFace provides a very flexible and powerful mapping editor that allows you to map any complex mapping task (e.g. mapping two fields to one field).

Connector actions

The creation or modification of data in the target system is done via connector actions. In CoreFace we provide all functions required in the standard of the target system as connector actions. Each connector action allows a specific mapping of the fields from the source data model to the respective connector action.

Validation and steering

In CoreFace it is possible to check and validate data. Controls within a command can be accessed via this module. Both simple and complex tests and controls can be implemented without coding.
