PLM solutions traditionally manage what a product is (aka design data) without much understanding of what the product does (aka design intent). Design data configuration management is critical for keeping track of product variants, releases, changes,…
How can Aerospace and Defense (A&D) companies best meet the needs of product development and manufacturing teams and their unique view of the authoritative source for product information—the bill of materials (BOM)? In other words, how do engineering…
Hello,
I need to make a new BOM form where the BOM level is only 1 and I need to remove some of the columns that appear in the default BOM form.
Also, need to add a logo to the form.
Super new to Aras, therefore, if someone can point me in the…
Hello Aras Experts,
I have a business requirement related to the BOM (Bill of Materials) tab. In my current scenario, there is a need to hide specific columns, illustrated by the black-highlighted sections in the attached screenshot.
Typically, to…
A while ago, I wrote a blog on why Variant Management needs to be considered way before 150% BOM (Bill of Materials) is reached for an already-designed product that becomes available. The key to that is the reuse of the variant logic on distinctive design…
Aras is pleased to announce that it has been named a leader in The Forrester Wave TM : Product Lifecycle Management for Discrete Manufacturers, Q1 2023 evaluation. Aras appeared as a leader based on its current offering, strategy, and market presence…
Is your company CAD-centric? CAD-centric means your focus is on model-based 3D representations of a product. The revision of a part will be the same as the CAD version. Often this practice has been driven using file-based storage in Windows Explorer,…
Systems Thinking and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platforms – do the two converge on measurable benefits for your engineering teams? We have the answer, and it is a resounding yes! Here is the story....
First, let’s discuss ‘ talking the talk…
Product variability is one of the key strategies used by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and companies that offer configure-to-order products. This helps to decrease costs, minimize Cost of Quality (CoQ), accelerate time-to-market, and quickly…
It used to be that product variant management was done using CPQ tools (Configure, Price, Quote) which allowed users to resolve a product configuration according to a set of rules applied to the product platform’s existing features, options, and usage…
If you haven’t noticed, the nature of change management in PLM is, well, changing due to exploding product complexities. It used to be that PLM was focused on changes to physical parts or physical assemblies (BOM). That was because PLM solutions and configuration…
Hello, I currently use the open, free version of Aras Innovator and am having difficulty figuring out how to store BOM data within the tool. I have seen from other posts that subscribers have access to a direct import functionality and also some kind…
Hello Aras Community Members
Does the ARAS REST API allow you to navigate the BOM structure, starting with a Part? For example, if I have a BOM structure as shown below, I would like to start with any Part in the structure and navigate down the BOM…
Good day all. I would like to export all of the Relationship info from one ItemType so I can import it to another ItemType. Currently our database is configured so the Parts List (BOM) is a document and not part of the Part, both are custom ItemTypes…
Hi,
I am trying to develop a custom BOM Quantity Rollout report, we have been able to pull in all the information we need from the Parts and Part BOM however, we need help pulling in the Manufacturer Part from the Part AML,
I need help in determining…
Recently, we hosted the webinar “Digital Twin: How to Build, Manage, and Enable a Powerful User Experience.” During the webinar, we discussed using an upcoming application, Physical Asset Foundation, you can use to create and manage any asset configuration…
Hi everyone,
a few months ago I had asked a question about displaying relations:
https://community.aras.com/f/applications/8963/displaying-relation-between-parts-found-in-different-product-structures
which led to creating a graph/web as shown below…
The following is a story of an aggressive startup company that was developing, and hoping to move a highly complex, electromechanical product into scale production.
From a design engineering standpoint, the Bill of Materials (BOM) was derived from the…
Hi everybody,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this!
Basically I would like to visualize how parts are related to one another if found in multiple subsystems (instead of determining it yourself through expanding the BillOfMaterials).
Some thing…
Hi,
Is it possible to modify BOM that we can see all parts levels, not just top-level, something like in the 'BOM Structure'?
I think it would be helpful to see this information when building a BOM.
You could even have a feature that lets you add…
Hi,
I am trying to get part all revision with maximum generation using IOM:
below are the entries:
Item Number Generation Revision
Testnumber1 1 00 Testnumber1 2 00 Testnumber1 3 00 Testnumber1 4 00 Testnumber1 5 00 Testnumber1 6 00 Testnumber1…
Hello,
I am learning how to use the batch loader to add a BOM to a specific part, but now I would like to do the opposite: I would like to come up with a script I can run with the Batch Loader that would delete a BOM regardless of how many components…
Graphs have been eating the world for the last few year. Every time you start a PLM implementation you will draw a datamodel with nodes (itemtypes) and edges (relationships). A few years ago I made a project to draw the datamodel graph. I was sharing…
