Computer-Aided Engineering Exchange (CAEX) is a standardized data format specifically designed for the exchange of information between different computer-aided engineering (CAE) and automation systems. CAEX facilitates the integration of plant design and operations management by providing a standardized method for storing and sharing plant models and their components. This format supports interoperability between different engineering tools used in the design, simulation and operation of industrial plants.
By using CAEX, companies can respond more efficiently to changes in production, improve collaboration between different departments and facilitate plant maintenance and upgrades. CAEX is therefore a decisive factor for digitalization in Industry 4.0, as it helps to maintain digital continuity in technical projects and accelerate the implementation of advanced manufacturing technologies.
