Read MoreOpenBOM leverages Nexus as the “environment bonding” platform to exchange data with ERP and other enterprise platforms such as enterprise content management (ECM), manufacturing execution systems (MES), and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO). Nexus is published by the vdR Group, Inc. and is a true SaaS platform facilitated by its no-code integration capabilities.
Read MoreHence, the part/BOM release is easily the most common use case for an integration. What may have taken hours and/or days is now literally executed in seconds. When a user “digitally releases” a structure from OpenBOM, the event is almost instant.
Read MoreWhy integrate OpenBOM and ERP? What would such an integration do? And how is it implemented? These questions will be the focus of a three (3) blog series.
So let’s kick it off with the first blog and a short (re)visit to the popular theme of the “digital thread.”
Simply put, the idea of the digital thread is to link data that is generated from across the product lifecycle of activities. There is a lot of buzz around this concept. Analysts, software vendors and industry thought leaders all purport its importance and value. Organizations may not use the same phrase, but they want and need improved efficiencies, the ability to streamline processes, automate menial and repetitive tasks, and ultimately improve their performance and competitiveness.
Read MorevdR 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.
Read MoreThis video presentation provides an overview of vdR’s Integration between Autodesk Revit and Aras Innovator. This Revit to Aras integration highlights the various triggers and transaction templates available in the integration and illustrates the powerful business use case for pursuing tighter BIM and PLM integration.
This presentation has Japanese narration over English slides. A full English language version of the presentation will be available soon.

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.
Read MorePPLM: Ben, you recently participated in a significant Aras PLM implementation effort that spanned most of this past year. The Agile project management technique was used. Give us a net-net of what it meant to use this approach. Ben: Yes, it was a significant effort. In fact, I can’t imagine not having used the Agile approach. For this project, the so-called “water fall” approach would have been a disaster.
Read MoreAs a business owner for 30 years, I’ve developed a few guiding principles about making business decisions. One of these principles is based on understanding the impact of a decision on the P&L, and visa-versa, identifying what proactive steps I can take to affect changes to the P&L. A recently published white paper by Accenture parallels this idea (see next article below). It speaks to the benefits of PLM by highlighting its effect on time to market, reuse, scrap, quality, etc. It is informative, yet it prompted me to be more definitive. Can we map the contributions of PLM to the P&L … and what would that look like? So, I decided to take a stab at this.
