Revision and Iteration Management in PLM
Achieve complete control over product evolution with Nora IPLM’s Revision and Iteration Management module. Designed for engineering precision and enterprise reliability, it provides the foundation for managing product maturity, ensuring every version, change, and relationship remains traceable, compliant, and structurally consistent.
Why Revision and Iteration Management Is Critical
In complex product environments, every change matters. Uncontrolled versioning leads to data loss, broken relationships, and costly rework. Nora IPLM eliminates this risk with lifecycle-defined revision and iteration rules that maintain structural integrity across all product data. Whether managing CAD models, specifications, or supporting documents, your teams can work confidently knowing that every iteration and revision is organized, validated, and connected.
Unified Approach to Version Control
Traditional systems often treat revisions and iterations as separate processes, leading to confusion and inconsistencies. Nora IPLM unifies both under a single model that integrates version logic, relationships, and lifecycle states. With this approach, teams can evolve designs quickly while keeping every dependency including BOMs, documents, drawings, and workflows in sync.
Each rule is enforced automatically, reducing administrative overhead while empowering users to innovate within clearly defined boundaries.
Core Capabilities of Revision and Iteration Management
Nora IPLM’s Revision and Iteration Management module provides a structured, rule-based framework for managing every version of your product data. Each capability is designed to maintain lifecycle consistency, protect data integrity, and give teams full traceability across items, documents, and drawings. From automated version updates to configurable relationship rules, users gain precise control over how revisions and iterations evolve, interact, and are visualized throughout the product lifecycle.
Advanced Revision and Iteration Management
Gain complete control over how your product data evolves. Nora IPLM’s Revision and Iteration Management module ensures every design, document, and relationship follows defined lifecycle rules. Track revisions from A to Z, manage iterations like A.0 to A.1, and maintain data integrity across complex product structures. From document updates to multi-level comparisons, every change stays organized, traceable, and compliant throughout the product lifecycle.
Built for Precision, Flexibility, and Control
Nora IPLM’s Revision and Iteration Management module goes beyond traditional version tracking. It creates a transparent, rule-driven environment that keeps every stakeholder aligned and every product configuration accurate. Whether managing mechanical, electrical, or software components, the module adapts to your lifecycle model while preserving the relationships that define your product’s integrity.
How it works
A design engineer revises a CAD model (Revision A → B). The new revision automatically links to the existing children components and inherits approved relationships. Meanwhile, supporting documents undergo separate iterations (A.0 → A.1 → A.2) as internal reviews progress. All updates flow into a unified audit trail, ensuring every change, from geometry updates to documentation edits, remains traceable.
Integration with Other Nora IPLM Modules
- Change Management: Automatically create change requests or ECRs when new revisions are released.
- BOM Management: Link revised items to updated BOM structures for accurate rollups.
- Workflow Management: Define approval steps for revision releases and iteration locks.
- Note: A new revision is automatically created by the system for a task when the same step is revisited due to a loop-back in the workflow.
- Document Management: Control document states and file versions alongside object revisions.
- Baseline Management: Capture baselines that freeze revision states for milestone comparison.
