SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA INTEGRATION OF ENGINEERING TOOLS
First Claim
1. A system for data integration in a unit having a robot system and stored program control, comprising:
- at least two independent engineering tools each including a respective database, wherein all data items in a first engineering tool that are of interest to a second engineering tool is identified, configured, and stored in an electronic data container;
a database provided with a link to the original data of each data item stored in the electronic data container and with a snapshot copy of each data item,wherein the electronic data container including said data items is imported by the second engineering tool or a separate application, which provides a read-only view of the imported data items within the second engineering tool and which allows importing the engineering data.

Abstract
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relates to a system and method for data integration using at least two independent engineering tools including their private database, where all data in the first tool being of interest for the second tool are identified, specified and stored in an electronic data container. Each data item stored in the electronic data container is provided with a link to the original data and with a copy of the stored data items. The electronic data container that includes the data items can be accessed by the target tool or a separate application to obtain a read-only view of the engineering data of the source tool for further use in the target engineering tool and navigation through the data for the engineer as well as for a data import.
