The Modern PLM Challenge
Engineering enterprises routinely operate across heterogeneous CAD ecosystems (Siemens NX, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor). Maintaining a single source of truth across product lifecycle management (PLM) requires disciplined schema design and automated integration brokers.
Core Data Modeling Pillars
- Item Revisions & Life-Cycle States: Mapping Work-In-Progress (WIP), Engineering Check, Released, and Obsolete states.
- Multi-CAD BOM Synchronization: Translating CAD assembly trees into EBOM and MBOM structures with precise quantity rollups.
- ITK & SOA Service Brokers: Implementing event-driven Webhooks to sync bill-of-materials with enterprise ERP systems.
