Hybrid BOM Management
Manage mechanical, electrical, and software components in one unified BOM. CAD and non-CAD items are handled seamlessly within the platform, giving you a complete view of your product structure.
Unify Mechanical, Electrical & Software BOMs in One Dynamic View
Nora IPLM’s Hybrid BOM Management bridges the gap between disciplines, offering a single, connected BOM that captures your complete product definition – mechanical, electrical, and software. Easily manage CAD and non-CAD data within one source of truth.
Discipline-Specific BOMs. Unified Product View.
Handle mechanical, electrical, and software components across engineering teams with dedicated structure views, while keeping everything integrated in a single, hybrid BOM. Ensure traceability, reduce errors, and drive efficient collaboration across disciplines.
Real-Time BOM Sync with Full Version Control
Enable bi-directional synchronization of structured BOM data while keeping every iteration, revision, and component change tracked. Get a real-time, validated view of your evolving product structure from concept to production.
Key Benefits
Centralized CAD File Management
Store and manage SolidWorks part and assembly files directly in Nora IPLM. Link them to items, projects, and change processes for full traceability.
Built-In Version and Revision Control
Check-in and check-out files with automatic version tracking. Every design change is recorded, reviewed, and accessible when you need it.
One-Click BOM Sync
Pull Bills of Materials directly from SolidWorks assemblies and sync them with Nora IPLM items. Avoid manual entry and reduce costly mistakes.
How It Works
Nora IPLM’s Hybrid BOM Management bridges the gap between disciplines, offering a single, connected BOM that captures your complete product definition, mechanical, electrical, and software. Easily manage CAD and non-CAD data within one source of truth.
Step-by-Step Guide: Managing a Hybrid BOM in Nora IPLM
Prepare Your Product Structure
Begin by defining your BOM hierarchy in Nora IPLM to support multi-disciplinary product data.
This includes setting up categories for mechanical parts, electrical components, and software modules.
ou can configure object types, attributes, and classification settings to ensure a smooth integration of diverse elements.
Import and Integrate Components
Upload all relevant product items-whether CAD-based mechanical parts, ECAD components, or software files, into the platform.
Nora IPLM allows seamless mapping of CAD and non-CAD data to appropriate object types.
You can also link interrelated items like firmware to PCB assemblies, ensuring all components are connected and traceable.
Review and Validate Hybrid BOM
Use Nora’s structured view and 3D-enabled BOM viewer to verify that all components are correctly imported, organized, and linked.
Run validations to check for missing references, incorrect quantities, or classification mismatches.
Once finalized, you get a unified, visualized BOM that reflects the complete product structure-ready for change management, costing, or compliance.
Common Use Cases
Engineers managing mechanical, electrical, and software parts in one BOM
Project leads tracking unified product structure and latest revisions
Quality teams validating cross-domain assemblies and configurations
Procurement teams sourcing from consolidated and accurate BOM data
