aP Connect¶
aP Connect, which is part of the aP Generate solution, enables you to create workflows that automatically cost components, generate reports, and share the resulting data with members of your team
aP Connect automates the analysis and reporting of component manufacturability and cost by integrating Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems with other products and services in the aPriori Cloud.
aP Connect helps aPriori Deployment Leads and PLM System Administrators generate and communicate data that helps engineers Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and cost.
aP Connect in the aP Generate Solution¶
aP Connect Agents bridge your PLM or File System to aP Connect.
The aP Connect Agent Rest API allows you to retrieve information about your aP Connect Agent and Workflows or to initiate actions, such as service shutdowns or workflow invocations, from a machine or server that is networked to your Agent. Learn more about aP Generate
Connection Note
The aP Connect Agent communicates with the aP Connect application through a secure websocket connection. The agent does not support outbound proxies.
