Data Migration

Engineering and PLM data migration

Move critical engineering and manufacturing data between platforms while preserving integrity, relationships, and uptime.

Migration without losing the product story

Hikari exists in part because businesses struggle to keep data integrity and continuity during digital transformation. Engineering data is the hardest case: CAD vaults, revisions, BOMs, change history, and links to manufacturing and quality cannot be copied as a folder of files.

A successful PLM or enterprise data migration keeps those relationships valid in the target system, proves completeness, and lets teams keep working during the transition.

Where MigrateX fits

Hikari MigrateX is the migration and modernization framework: assessment, dependency mapping, automation, staged waves, and validation. It is used for application and data moves, including engineering landscapes, enterprise platforms, and hybrid or multi-cloud destinations.

The service promise on the homepage is the same one that matters in a PLM cutover: preserve integrity and reduce downtime when moving between legacy and modern platforms.

A typical sequence

  • Inventory sources, dependencies, and what “done” means for each data class
  • Map product structures, revisions, and ownership into the target model
  • Run rehearsal loads and reconcile counts, relationships, and samples
  • Cut over in waves with rollback and business-continuity controls
  • Reconnect the new platform with IntegrateX or extend into a digital thread with CortexFlow

Who this is for

Automotive, aerospace and defense, and manufacturers replacing or consolidating PLM and related systems in Asia and Europe — especially when auditability and digital continuity are non-negotiable.

FAQ

Data migration questions

PLM data includes CAD, product structures, revisions, effectivity, changes, and often linked quality and manufacturing records. Relationships matter as much as files. Generic ETL that ignores that context breaks digital continuity.

MigrateX uses assessment, dependency mapping, staged waves, and validation so cutover is planned rather than a single high-risk weekend. The aim is operational stability while data moves.

Migrated platforms still need to talk to ERP, MES, and other systems. IntegrateX and CortexFlow are used to reconnect and, where required, establish a digital thread on the new landscape.
