Advanced Version Control

Tracking design changes is critical for accuracy and compliance. Thus, our platform automatically records every version, maintaining a complete revision history so teams can refer past revisions and iterations or revert to previous designs when needed. 

Effortless Collaboration with Office 365 Integration

Collaboration is at the heart of innovation. Nora IPLM integrates directly with Office 365, enabling teams to co-author, manage, and share documents without leaving their workspace. Through our Desktop Services Application, users can transfer files between Office 365 and Nora IPLM instantly, keeping design and product development workflows connected, organized, and efficient.

Enhance Product Development Efficiency with Nora IPLM's CAD Management Capabilities

Nora IPLM simplifies CAD management by centralizing design files, BOMs, and lifecycle data in one secure platform. Teams get real-time visibility, reduce errors, and streamline collaboration across product development. With Multi-CAD support, intelligent revision control, and direct PLM integration, our platform ensures consistency from design to delivery, without the inefficiencies of disconnected systems.

Bi-Directional Data Flow Between Your CAD Software and Nora IPLM Platform

Keep your design and BOM data in sync at all times. Changes in the CAD software or in Nora IPLM are automatically reflected across both systems, reducing manual updates and misalignment.

Hybrid-BOM Support

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.

Revisioning and Version Control

Track every design change with automatic versioning. Each update is saved with a timestamp, user info, and optional version comments for full traceability.

Streamlined workflows that accelerate time to market

Automate and optimize workflows to reduce delays and speed up product launches.

Automatically Generated Additional (Derived) Formats

Generate STEP, IGES, PDF, and 3D PDF files automatically during check-in. These ready-to-share formats simplify collaboration with suppliers and cross-functional teams. Easily display them in the platform or download them.

Attribute Synchronization

Synchronize key attributes between your CAD software and Nora IPLM. Attributes like part numbers, materials, weight and revisions are kept consistent across the BOM and design files.

Lightweight Viewer Format

Nora automatically creates a CAD-independent format optimized for fast loading in the viewer. No need for native CAD tools to review or comment on designs.

Auto-Generated Thumbnails

Each CAD and Office 365 file generates a thumbnail preview upon check-in. This helps users quickly identify designs when browsing or searching the platform.

Concurrent Engineering Support

Allow multiple teams to work on assemblies or components at the same time. Nora handles version control and access rules to support parallel development without conflicts.
