Insight generation based on retrieved PLM data

A method comprising:

• receiving a query from a host platform via an agent installed on a product lifecycle management (PLM) database, wherein the query comprises a request for a plurality of values of a part to be extracted from a plurality of fields of a PLM object stored in the PLM database where the agent is installed, the host platform is connected to the agent installed at the PLM database via a computer network, and the plurality of fields comprise a plurality of field names in a format of the host platform;
• translating, via the agent installed on the PLM database, the plurality of field names in the format of the host platform into a plurality of field names in a format of an application programming interface (API) of the PLM database;
• executing, via the agent installed on the PLM database, an API call on the PLM database based on the plurality of translated field names to extract the plurality of values of the part from the plurality of translated field names within the PLM object stored in the PLM database;
• transferring the plurality of values extracted from the agent installed at the PLM database to the host platform;
• determining changes to one or more manufacturing attributes of the part to be manufactured based on the transferred plurality of values;
• and
• outputting the changes to a display.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that includes instructions which when executed by a processor cause a computer to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a query from a host platform via an agent installed on a product lifecycle management (PLM) database, wherein the query comprises a request for a plurality of values of a part to be extracted from a plurality of fields of a PLM object stored in the PLM database where the agent is installed, wherein the plurality of fields comprise a plurality of field names in a format of Hail the host platform;
• translating, via the agent installed at the PLM database, the plurality of field names in the format of the host platform into a plurality of field names in a format of an application programming interface (API) of the PLM database;
• executing, via the agent installed at the PLM database, an API call on the PLM database based on the plurality of translated field names to extract the plurality of values of the part from the plurality of translated field names within the PLM object stored in the PLM database;
• transferring the plurality of values extracted from the agent installed at the PLM database to the host platform;
• determining changes to one or more manufacturing attributes of the part to be manufactured based on the transferred plurality of values;
• and
• outputting the changes to a display.
