Graebert’s Trinity concept enables CAD Software users to create and modify DWG drawings on Desktop, Mobile and Cloud.

The AWS Manufacturing and Industrial Competency is recognizing Graebert for its deep industry experience and expertise

Graebert, the developer of the ARES® Trinity of CAD software for desktop, mobile and cloud, announced today that it has achieved the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Manufacturing and Industrial Competency. This designation recognizes Graebert for its expertise in providing customers software solutions for an end-to-end Industrial Manufacturing Software toolchain.

As manufacturing customers move to the cloud, they are looking for cloud experts with manufacturing experience to help them transform and use data in new ways, knowing they need to move faster than ever. AWS Manufacturing and Industrial Competency Partners provide customers with solutions across their digital transformation journey while being assured that they have support from a validated AWS Partner to meet their needs. These solutions follow AWS best practices for building secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient cloud infrastructure for industry applications.

Professionals in product manufacturing, construction and many other fields rely on computer-aided design (CAD) software to generate 2D and 3D drawings and views of their designs. Sharing these files, in the industry-standard DWG format, enables countless workflows.

ARES Kudo by Graebert, is a leading technology for online editing of technical drawings in DWG format — and that technology runs on AWS. Graebert’s innovative Trinity approach combines on-premises, mobile, and cloud solutions into a collaborative ecosystem that natively reads and saves in the DWG format.

ARES Kudo replaces AutoCAD® and similar CAD software at a fraction of the price, with the added value of cloud-based collaboration.

Achieving the AWS Manufacturing and Industrial Competency differentiates Graebert as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member with demonstrated technical proficiency and proven customer success in running cloud solutions on AWS for the manufacturing and industrial sector. This program showcases manufacturing consulting and software partners who have domain knowledge and are providing cloud services. To receive the AWS Manufacturing and Industrial Competency designation, AWS Partners must undergo rigorous technical validation and provide vetted customer references.

“Graebert is proud to be one of the first APN Partners to achieve the AWS Manufacturing and Industrial Competency. The will enhance Graebert’s ability to build highly reliable and agile solutions, empowering our Cloud-based CAD technology ARES Kudo.”

Robert Gräbert, the Chief Technical Officer of Graebert

AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help customers identify AWS Partners with deep industry experience and expertise.

Uwe Urban, IT Manager of Nuesing explains the advantages of ARES Kudo: “Nuesing has customers in different regions of the World. With ARES Kudo we can potentially log in on any computer and access our drawings online. We can also generate a URL that external users such as customers can use to read our file without editing rights. We keep using the desktop version ARES Commander for most of the editing but we see that ARES Kudo will bring agility to our workflows in multiple ways.”

About Graebert

Graebert is a leading developer of DWG-editing CAD software headquartered in Germany. The Graebert product portfolio is anchored by the ARES Trinity of CAD software – a powerful suite of DWG-based CAD software for desktop, mobile and cloud – which also enables developers to create standalone CAD applications. The three solutions are bundled into a unique subscription allowing users to take advantage of each platform with similar features but different use cases. Overall, millions of professionals use our CAD technologies in more than 100 countries.

Powered by AWS’ Global IT infrastructure, ARES Kudo offers all the CAD features you came to expect to create and modify drawings in DWG or DXF format, with the additional agility to run in the cloud. ARES Kudo connects to many third-party data sources (such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive), but also offers direct integration with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for the ARES Kudo Drive. Manufacturing customers can also leverage the integration of ARES products with PTC Onshape, a cloud-native product development platform for 3D product design and product data management (PDM).

All metadata (access rights, file names, etc.) lives in Amazon DynamoDB and leverages Amazon S3 features (e.g., automatic version management, delete protection, AWS Lambda triggers) to provide a superior experience for all the ARES users. Nothing to install, and nothing to update, you just need a Web browser to access and edit your drawings online.
