Arena PLM is a product lifecycle management system by PTC. To fully leverage its value, Arena PLM must be seamlessly connected with surrounding systems such as ALM, ERP, MBSE, Ticketing and production planning.
 

The PROSTEP Connector for Arena PLM enables seamless integration of Arena PLM objects and structures into heterogeneous Digital Thread architectures. Built on proven OpenPDM technology, the connector ensures consistent, reliable data exchange across the entire product lifecycle. It supports bidirectional communication, is fully configurable without coding, and leverages vendor-approved interfaces to ensure long-term compatibility.

The PROSTEP Connector for Arena PLM abstracts system-specific complexity and exposes Arena PLM data using PROSTEP’s unified REST API and standardized data schema. This allows organizations to integrate Arena PLM into enterprise-wide processes without custom development or deep system-specific expertise.

The connector supports fine-grained read and write access to Arena PLM objects as well as the exchange of complete data structures. Objects, attributes, relations, and documents, including physical files, are synchronized in a controlled and traceable manner. As part of the PROSTEP Digital Thread Platform, the Arena PLM connector enables consistent information flow across domains and organizational boundaries.
 

Digital Continuity Across Domains

Integrate Arena PLM seamlessly with ALM, PLM, MBSE, and production systems to ensure consistent lifecycle information.

Reduced Integration Effort

Replace custom-built interfaces with a ready-to-use, configurable connector that lowers cost and maintenance effort.

Release-Safe and Future-Proof

Vendor-approved APIs ensure compatibility with future Arena PLM releases and long-term platform stability.

Bidirectional Integration

Read and write access to Arena PLM objects, attributes, structures, and documents.

Configuration-Based Control

Unlimited import and export scenarios can be defined via configuration - no coding required.

Standardized OpenPDM Data Model

Consistent mapping of Arena PLM data into the Digital Thread using the OpenPDM schema.

PROSTEP offers vendor-neutral products and services, built on strong and long-standing partnerships with all major PLM and enterprise software providers.

The close collaboration between PTC and PROSTEP ensures that the PROSTEP Arena PLM Connector is fully aligned with Arena PLM standards, APIs, and product roadmaps. Customers benefit from a stable, supported, and future-proof integration solution for their Digital Thread initiatives.

Custom-built integrations are costly, difficult to maintain, and often not release-safe. PROSTEP Connectors are based on decades of OpenPDM integration expertise, continuous customer feedback, and extensive testing. 

PROSTEP continuously invests in the training and certification of its developers and consultants to work closely with our partners in delivering best-in-class system connectors and providing our customers with top-tier integration solutions.

Instead of investing in development and long-term maintenance, customers gain a ready-to-use, enterprise-grade integration solution that evolves with both Revit and the surrounding system landscape.
 

The PROSTEP Connector provides:

  • Vendor-certified interfaces for long-term release security
  • Bidirectional data exchange with intelligent decision handling
  • Fully configurable import and export scenarios
  • Web-based administration UI for flexible operation
  • Unified REST API for access to all connected systems
