The Advanced Digital Thread Integration Platform

CLOVER Integration Explained: Connect PLM, ERP, MES, & Beyond

CLOVER is the end-to-end integration platform that connects PDM, PLM, ERP, MES, and other critical manufacturing systems to power a seamless digital thread. Break down the walls between engineering, manufacturing, and business operations — and eliminate the bottlenecks caused by manual data exchange. With CLOVER, teams get real-time visibility, improved collaboration, and smarter decisions at every stage of production.

Watch how connected data leads to a more efficient factory floor and faster time-to-value.

Make Integration a Priority in Your Tech Stack Without the Expense and Risk Associated with Connecting Complex Product Data

This next generation of CLOVER platform puts you in the driver’s seat for executing your integration strategy.  Integration has been around for many years, but it often falls after other technology initiatives due to its high cost, maintenance and inflexibility.

In a recent study with Tech-Clarity, 69% of respondents rated digital thread integration as highly important, yet only 25% reported significant progress. CLOVER aims to close this gap.

Move Beyond the Integration Status Quo with CLOVER

Built for Cloud with enhanced performance. scalability, security and flexible deployments

As a cloud-native and low-code platform, CLOVER empowers companies to build a scalable digital thread by connecting essential domains such as PLM, ERP, MES, and more. This flexible approach allows organizations to integrate critical systems with ease, facilitating data continuity and collaboration across the product lifecycle. With CLOVER, companies can construct a digital thread that evolves with their needs, supporting agile and efficient operations across departments and functions

Why is CLOVER Different?

Clover was architected from the ground up to help our clients achieve their goals faster with effective integration and eliminate the typical complexity and prohibitive costs of integration projects. Some of the ways this was accomplished include:

• Out-of-the-Box Plugins provide the ability to build capabilities without writing code, connecting MES. PLM, ERP, CRM and other major system platforms
• Fully extensible to meet unique process, systems, and workflow requirements that allows the creation of any type of operation, offload data processing, and incorporates cross-system business logic and data flow
• Easily create custom plugins to connect to other data sources or in-house systems

Quickly Build and Adapt Unique Digital Threads

CLOVER provides the foundation to build out your digital thread incrementally, while saving time and professional services costs with self service options. Establish automated task plans to perform the most complex challenges around communicating and exchanging product and engineering data and improve the accuracy and time to complete business workflows across the enterprise.

When it comes the building a digital thread, businesses can quickly become overwhelmed with executing a complex plan. The good news is, with CLOVER you can start right where you are. Building a digital thread takes time and CLOVER has the building blocks needed to accomplish a plan.

While there are similarities when it comes to defining data points to capture in a digital thread, every organization will go about it differently.   Whether its ERP, CRM, MES, Quality, Warehousing, CLOVER is designed to support the IT footprint for any size organization and drive incremental success to add new end points and build it as you go.

CLOVER also comes with preconfigured workflow processes to help get you started more quickly, which are also easily adaptable to your environment.  See workflows table.

Maximize the Value of your Business and Product Data

Every organization has made significant IT investments, but much of the data sits in separate silos and do not benefit the whole.  Integration allows organizations to tap into the full power of their business by accessing key data and sharing that with the people who need the information to do their job.  Benefits of effective data integration include:

• Improved Decision-Making
• Flexibility and Scalability
• Streamline Operations
• Eliminate redundant processes and systems

CLOVER is Designed to Manage Product and Manufacturing Data

When it comes to product and manufacturing data, there is added complexity that requires attentive handling and processing.  There are inherent layers associated with objects and relationships that must remain intact.  Manufacturing and product data is unlike other data types found in ERP and CRM systems like finance, purchasing, orders and customer data that is more simplified and can be easily transferred in point to point, transactional processes.

We Understand the Character of the Data

At Razorleaf, we designed our approach by factoring in the underlying character of the data, which means that it is treated with four considerations:

• Definition – What it represents – a BOM, Part, Document, etc
• Trait – What is the hierarchy, how many levels, where is data contained
• History: Keeping what is important such as Revisions, file evolution
• Behavior – How it transforms or changes over time or from one application to another

This approach ensures that product and engineering data are handled correctly during any exchange or workflow and will fully support its end destination purpose, preserving all data integrity, ensuring accurate and timely exchange.

CLOVER Deployment Flexibility

CLOVER is now Cloud ready and operates seamlessly in Cloud with the flexibility to run on-premise, air-gapped, in the cloud, or as a hybrid model. It has been developed from the ground up for scalability and growth, with the most advanced tools including:

• Microservices Architecture
  • Scalability of Individual Components
  • Technology Agnostic
  • Reliability and Isolation
  • Faster Feature Release / Time to Market
• Containerized in Docker
  • Docker supported on Windows and Linux
