UXML - the new communication standard for precast concrete plants

The open "Unitechnik CAD-CAM interface" has been the basis for the free exchange of information within a precast concrete plant for 30 years. This interface is now also available in the modern XML format. UXML is the future communication standard for precast concrete plants.

Unitechnik is presenting the interface definition "Unitechnik CAD-CAM-Interface XML 7.0.1" or UXML 7.0.1 for short at bauma. It is available in German and English. This interface is already being implemented by some CAD manufacturers. The pioneer here is Tekla Structures, which is already presenting a UXML-compatible program version at bauma.

As in the past, all software and system manufacturers can incorporate their requirements into future versions of the Unitechnik CAD-CAM interface. In this way, Unitechnik is countering the trend towards manufacturer-specific interfaces and continuing to enable free competition in the industry.

Advantages of the UXML interface compared to the conventional Unitechnik CAD-CAM interface:

  • Display in any browser
  • Showing and hiding of hierarchy levels
  • Simple implementation in modern software systems
  • Tunneling of additional information from CAD to subsystems without having to adapt the control system
  • Support for variable field lengths
  • Possible to send binary data (images, PDF, print data)
  • Validation option against XML schema definition
  • Referencing of objects via GUID
