OpenBOM Feature Simplifies Digital Thread Management

OpenBOM, provider of cloud-based product data management and product lifecycle management software, has expanded its services to include xBOM and extended digital thread support. xBOM enables users to manage various types of bills of materials (BOM) such as Engineering BOM (EBOM), Manufacturing BOM (MBOM), and Support BOM (SBOM). 

xBOM reportedly provides a comprehensive, adaptable view of product structures, enhancing collaboration and streamlining processes across the product lifecycle. This service democratizes advanced BOM management features, making them accessible to companies of all sizes, and ensures transitions from engineering to manufacturing and support.

This solution provides access to advanced BOM management features traditionally available only through enterprise PLM platforms. OpenBOM’s xBOM service simplifies and enhances the user experience. By offering a flexible infrastructure for managing data across multiple product lifecycle stages, OpenBOM allows seamless transitions from engineering to manufacturing and support.

“At the core of OpenBOM’s xBOM service is a multi-view BOM architecture, enabling the creation of multiple BOM structures connected in the product knowledge graph database and polyglot persistence data architecture,” says Oleg Shilovitsky, CEO and co-founder of OpenBOM. “The intuitive administration interface allows for easy setup and management of different BOM types, with the flexibility to define templates and independently manage BOM structures.”
