ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR EXCHANGING ENGINEERING INFORMATION

摘要

An arrangement for exchanging at least one engineering artifact (Lib, Lib1 to Lib3, CS1 to CS3) between a first (PC1 ) and at least one further (PC2, PC3) computer device comprises at least one synchronization unit (8a, 8b, 8c) and a cloud storage (9) containing virtual storage spaces (1 1a, 11b, 1 1c). The cloud storage (9) is arranged to copy the at least one engineering artifact (Lib) into the first (11 a) and the at least one further (11 b, 11c) virtual storage spaces. The at least one synchronization unit (8a, 8b, 8c) is arranged to establish communication links between the virtual and corresponding local storage spaces (12a, 12b, 12c) contained in the respective computer device, as soon as a respective communication connection (10a, 10b, 10c) is established between the cloud storage (9) and the respective computer device. The synchronization unit is further arranged to compare the contents of the local storage spaces with the contents of the corresponding virtual storage space, and in case that the first and/or the at least one further virtual storage space contains an additional and/or more recent version of the at least one engineering artifact compared to the corresponding first and/or at least one further local storage space, respectively, to automatically start a copy process of the additional and/or more recent version of the at least one engineering artifact to the corresponding first and/or the at least one further local storage space, respectively
