X4.0
Project Management and Data Exchange Software
For secure, automated data exchange and audit-proof process integration.
What is X4.0?
X4.0 is an intelligent project management and data exchange software solution designed to simplify and automate complex data transfer processes. Developed by TECHNIA, X4.0 ensures secure, efficient, and audit-proof data management for industries such as automotive engineering, mechanical engineering, and consumer goods.
Its capabilities include automated data conversion, process checking, and configurable notifications, making it an indispensable tool for organizations seeking to enhance collaboration and operational efficiency.
What can you do with X4.0?
As a powerful project management and data exchange software, X4.0 provides a versatile set of features designed to streamline workflows, enhance collaboration, and ensure secure, efficient data handling across industries.
Automate data conversion
X4.0’s automated data conversion simplifies the transformation of files into neutral formats, ensuring compatibility across diverse systems. By eliminating the manual effort typically required for converting data formats, this feature reduces human error and accelerates workflows. Users can convert CAD files, BOMs, and other data into formats like STEP or IGES, facilitating seamless interoperability between systems. Built-in validation ensures data integrity before conversion, preventing errors downstream. By automating repetitive tasks, teams can reallocate resources to more strategic activities, ultimately improving productivity.
Configure notifications
X4.0’s notification system keeps teams informed about process statuses through customizable alerts, ensuring timely communication and enhancing operational transparency. By instantly notifying users when processes deviate from expected parameters, the system enables proactive issue resolution. Notifications can be tailored to specific events, such as successful data transfers or errors requiring immediate attention, with alerts delivered via email, SMS, or messaging platforms like Teams or Slack. Administrators can configure alerts for individual users or groups, ensuring that the right stakeholders receive relevant updates.
Encrypt data transmission
X4.0 ensures secure communication by employing robust encryption protocols for data transmission, making it particularly critical for industries handling sensitive intellectual property or customer data. It supports secure file transfers and communication through protocols such as OFTP(2), SFTP, and HTTPS. End-to-end encryption safeguards sensitive information by encrypting both commands and data, preventing interception during transit. Additionally, web portal integration enables external partners to exchange encrypted files securely. By safeguarding data integrity and confidentiality during transmission, X4.0 helps organizations meet industry standards such as GDPR and TISAX.
Enhance integration
X4.0’s open architecture enables seamless integration with external systems such as 3DEXPERIENCE, Teamcenter, CIM Database, and Windchill, as well as TECHNIA products like myPLM, Lite3D, Q-Checker, xCompare, and Integration Framework. By leveraging standardized protocols such as XML and REST APIs, it ensures smooth communication between disparate systems. This flexibility allows businesses to expand their infrastructure by integrating new tools without overhauling existing systems. Additionally, components can be added or upgraded independently, minimizing operational disruptions. As a result, X4.0 remains a scalable, long-term solution that adapts to evolving organizational needs.
MFT (managed file transfer)
X4.0 is a powerful project management and data exchange solution that facilitates managed file transfers while streamlining workflows, enhancing collaboration, and ensuring secure, efficient data handling across industries.
Enhance security
Maintain security and traceability across data transmission, storage, and access to prevent costly errors, such as sending incorrect data or incompatible formats.
Why use X4.0 for project management and data exchange?
X4.0 delivers several benefits that enhance organizational efficiency.
X4.0 simplifies project team collaboration through automated data assignment and centralized access to all relevant information. By automating data exchange processes, including automatic task management, stand-alone smart filing, or sending project data, X4.0 minimizes redundancies and accelerates workflows across departments and external partners.
With encrypted transmission protocols and audit-proof storage systems, X4.0 ensures that sensitive data remains protected at all times – during data transfer, storage and access. Includes support for all common encryption technologies.
X4.0 reduces storage space and network shares through centralized data management. There is no need for duplicate data maintenance with regard to PLM users and data exchange partners. Automated workflows lead to higher efficiencies in manual tasks resulting in significant labor cost savings and error mitigation.
The open and modular architecture X4.0 can be optimally adapted to company size and needs, allowing businesses to scale their operations seamlessly by integrating additional systems as needed.
