Autodesk Vault Pro is the advanced solution for product data management, empowering engineering teams to control, collaborate, and optimize their design-to-manufacturing workflows. Vault Pro delivers robust capabilities beyond Vault Basic, tailored for organizations seeking comprehensive data governance and process automation:
- Advanced Data Management: Track revisions, release management, and revision history to finalize and lock designs for production, preventing unauthorized changes. Classify data by categories (e.g., prototyping, production) for improved security and handling throughout the design process.
- Customizable Permissions & Access: Set and tailor user permissions for viewing and editing data. Non-CAD users can access files, including view-only web access, supporting broader collaboration.
- Automated Engineering Workflows: Leverage automated Engineering Change Orders (ECO), revision management, and Bill of Materials (BOM) and item management for seamless integration with PLM systems. Batch plotting, sheet set management, and advanced Copy Design Wizard streamline project delivery.
- Collaboration & Integration: Integrate with Microsoft Office, Fusion Team, BIM 360, PLM, and Autodesk Shared Views. Multisite functionality synchronizes design data across distributed workgroups, extending collaboration across geographies.
- Compliance & Reporting: Manage compliance documentation, enforce engineering data standards, and customize lifecycle states for process standardization. Project reporting enables tracking via KPIs, giving managers real-time status insights.
- Scalability & Security: Instantaneous, incremental backup utilities minimize downtime. Data archiving and trash bin features support efficient data recovery and growth management. Flexible data security and multisite scalability ensure robust protection and accessibility.
- Mobile & Web Access: Vault Gateway, Thin Client, and the Vault mobile app provide secure, VPN-less access to your data from anywhere, enabling productive remote collaboration.
Vault Pro 2027 transforms engineering data management, helping teams deliver better products, faster, and with greater control.
