Key takeaways will include how PLM helped build and validate an effective quality-management system, leading to efficient operations, successful audits, and the delivery of superior quality products.

Companies struggle with cost overruns, supply chain disruptions, and inefficient production due to poorly managed Bills of Materials (BOMs). Inaccurate BOMs can lead to delays, excess inventory, and missed revenue opportunities. So, let's take a deep dive into the important world of the BOM and build a blueprint for successful product development and equipment manufacturing. This session will equip you with practical strategies to create accurate, optimized BOMs. We'll explore best practices, tools, and case studies to streamline BOM processes. We'll start in CAD, building a good foundation. Then we'll move this information into product lifecycle management (PLM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and other production-related applications.

We'll explore the challenges and strategic solutions associated with our company's shift from SolidWorks software to Inventor software, as well as our simultaneous implementation of Vault software. This transition involved overcoming substantial technical and operational hurdles. We'll provide insights into the specific issues we faced during the integration process, such as legacy data compatibility, custom property migration, and user adoption. And then we'll share how we addressed these issues in order to achieve the company's goal of 10% year-on-year growth.

Gain insight into how the technology can help transform the traditional organisational system to become modern, productive, and cost-effective by utilising product customisations and configurations that fit the specific organisation's needs. We will show how Upchain answered the call for transforming messy data and legacy systems into a synergy of custom-tailored processes that all work on unified digital transformation. We will show how this process was implemented within ATS Automation Tooling Systems, a company that designs and builds custom factory automation systems.

The bill of materials (BOM) is at the heart of any manufacturing company, but each department (design, purchasing, production) and each system (PDM, ERP, MES, PLM) has its own view, understanding, and expectation of what the BOM should look like. Data is usually transferred manually from one system to another, which is time consuming and error prone. This session will explain where the BOM is created, how it moves between teams, how and why it is transformed, and what tool should do what to support this transition. We'll use practical examples to show how a BOM starts in Inventor and Vault software and moves between the above systems, and how these systems can be integrated with each other.

At the outset of a Revit project, it is crucial to define a clear process and workflow. This should encompass several key elements, such as accurately determining the building's location, shared coordinates, geodetic elevation, building design, and the materials to be represented. As we prepare to tackle the sustainability challenges of 2030 and 2050, it is imperative to integrate these factors into our workflow from the outset. Moreover, it is recommended that firms incorporate these processes and workflows into the creation of families intended for use in sustainable projects, ensuring that sustainability is woven into every aspect of the project. By doing so, we can ensure that we are setting a strong foundation for designing, constructing, and managing buildings that are in line with our sustainable goals.
