From Engineering to Execution: Managing Hardware and Industrial Machinery with PLM
Hardware teams waste 40+ hours weekly coordinating product data across spreadsheets and email. This guide shows how PLM systems help industrial machinery companies manage BOMs, control changes, and scale efficiently. Real workflows and measurable results for growing engineering teams.
PLM in 2026: Predicting the Next Era of Product Innovation and Lifecycle Management
Bill of Materials (BOM) is essential to manufacturing, but managing multiple BOMs can be complex and prone to errors. In this post, we explore the different types of BOMs, the challenges organizations face in synchronizing them, and best practices for efficient BOM management. Learn how to improve accuracy and streamline processes across departments while minimizing mistakes and inefficiencies.
Nora IPLM vs Other PLM Systems: Why Innovation Management Is the Missing Link
Most PLM systems focus on controlling product data after decisions are made. Innovation often happens outside the system, leading to delays and misalignment. This blog explains why innovation management is becoming essential in modern PLM and how Nora IPLM connects ideas, planning, and execution in one platform.
Effortlessly Migrate from Excel to Cloud PLM: A Guide for Engineers
Engineering teams rely on Excel for product data longer than they should. As complexity grows, spreadsheets create risk and slow progress. This guide explains how engineers can move from Excel to Cloud PLM step by step, without disrupting ongoing work, using a practical and structured approach.
