In this video, I talk about what is OpenBOM and how OpenBOM can help you to stop using Excel and Spreadsheets to manage Bill of Materials in your company. In many ways, OpenBOM is different from old on-premise PLM systems, and many cloud PLM tools available on the market today. Here are the key points…
I’m very excited today to introduce you to the next level of CAD integrations we developed at OpenBOM. The code name “one-click” and the goal of this integration to simplify even future the process of configuration, settings, and data extraction. OpenBOM manages a sophisticated data model for engineering and bill of materials data. Check out…
In my video today, I want to talk about CAD integrations and OpenBOM. The importance of seamless integrations between CAD and BOM management environments such as OpenBOM is hard to underestimate. Because of the moment of time, you will start using it, you will save tons of time. You can think, BOM is not a…
In this video, I talk about the Bill of Materials and Purchasing. For many companies a purchasing process is a messy combination of Excels extracted from the CAD system, manually created purchase orders and information about vendors. OpenBOM Design to Purchase process helps you to organize information about the Bill of Materials, Vendors, Cost, and…
In this video, I share a story about how OpenBOM helps engineers and manufacturing companies to stop using spreadsheets to manage product data, bill of materials, calculations, and purchasing. This is a visualization of the OpenBOM engineering story you can read here. Here are a few things you will learn from this video: 1- OpenBOM…
At OpenBOM, we believe in the visual Bill of Materials. Therefore, almost from day one at OpenBOM, we wanted to allow users to share visual information. This is how we can with OpenBOM Images Properties. These properties can be generated automatically when you extract data from the CAD system and placed in the OpenBOM Bill…
There is only one constant thing in the world. It is a change. Engineering and manufacturing companies are living and breathing the changes every single day. And to make it right is one of the most important things. And here is a challenge… if you do less than needed, you miss things that must be…
The magic names such as EBOM, MBOM, SBOM, and others are standing for a specific domain of knowledge — engineering, manufacturing, planning, supplier, etc. Sometimes, you can hear XBOM, which literally means any BOM. The division is logical (based on people’s role) and often system data siloed — CAD, PLM, ERP, etc. The recommendation of…
As you probably heard, PTC agreed to acquire Onsahpe. The press release and additional materials from PTC can be found here.
