Increasingly important to engineers is the ability to quickly design optimized, reliable and durable products. The accessibility of big data has driven the need to quickly and easily analyze high volumes of various data coming from many different sources. The ability to perform advanced analysis and simulation also needs to be increasingly in the hands of more engineers. To meet these challenges, Aqira offers a unique collaborative engineering platform for engineers, managers, and IT.
Engineering apps allow technical experts to wrap up their complex processes, including nCode and Python scripts, into web-based easy-to-user interfaces. These apps can then easily be managed and shared to user groups, effectively democratizing knowledge by enabling less-expert users to leverage standard processes. Apps are created using a “no-code” approach through an intuitive drag and drop interface and similarly user-defined front-end pages are graphically and interactively defined. Apps enable more engineers to focus on the results and efficient decision making rather than spending time on data manipulation and manual calculation steps.
Aqira is a secured web-based platform (HTTPS), which is installed on-premise or on cloud-hosted Linux virtual machines (Azure, AWS, Google). Aqira utilizes cloud-ready technology with Kubernetes container orchestration for scalability. Aqira manages user access, using active directory LDAP or OpenID Connect. The use of secure technology enables work from home and work from anywhere to meet the demands and flexibility of today’s business needs.
Aqira leverages a token-based licensing system which draws a specified number of tokens from a shared cache when a ReliaSoft or nCode software product option is launched. Aqira gives you more control on your tokens pool by allocating them to different departments, groups, or entities as well as monitoring software usage over time.
Additionally, the system utilizes a time-zone based usage model for license tokens, providing a more cost-effective approach for global software usage, plus other advantages as reducing tokens draw for ReliaSoft XFMEA and DesignLife thread option.
