the first installment of this series, we discussed the rationale for integrating Aras Innovator with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. The primary takeaway was that automating data exchange between these platforms significantly minimized errors, inaccurate outsourcing information, resultant reworking and scrap, missing procurement opportunities, incurring expedited shipping costs, and handling warranty issues. These errors contribute to the "Cost of Quality" (CoQ), which is about 3 to 10 percent of a company’s annual revenues. By integrating these systems, organizations can take proactive steps to mitigate these costs.
The applications shown include Product Data Management (PDM), Computer Aided Design (CAD), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), and Maintenance Repair and Operations (MRO), among others. As a PLM platform, Aras Innovator occupies a central role in the product lifecycle…
Manufacturers are constantly striving to reduce the “Cost of Quality” (CoQ) associated with the design and manufacturing of their products. This cost is reflected in the expenses of redesigning existing parts, scrap and rework, expedited shipping, warranties, and even the company’s reputation. According to analysts and industry groups, these expenses can represent profit leakage from 3 to 10 percent of a company’s annual revenues.
vdR is thrilled to announce our recent partnership with OpenBOM to enabling low-code integrations between OpenBOM and enterprise applications leveraging Nexus for OpenBOM. Nexus for OpenBOM is designed to treat data and processes unique to engineering and manufacturing transactions such as part/BOM release, document release, state-change event triggers, and more recently, data synchronization.
What if you could establish an environment whereby standalone applications work together to look and behave as one integrated solution? Parts, bills of materials, their documents and drawings could be automatically shared and/or exchanged at the right time to ensure everyone is on the same page, users wouldn’t be required to switch between applications to get the information, solutions could be left as-is, and there would be no need to “rip and replace” nor go through data warehousing or data lakes implementation exercises.
