Unified Product View

Unify Mechanical, Electrical & Software BOMs in One Dynamic View

Bring discipline-specific product data into one controlled structure so every team works from the same product context.

Discipline-specific BOMs unified in one product view

Discipline-specific BOMs, unified product view

Manage mechanical, electrical, and software structures without splitting teams across disconnected spreadsheets and files.

Connected hybrid BOM view in Nora IPLM

Connected engineering-to-manufacturing context

Keep design intent, product relationships, and downstream BOM readiness visible in a single lifecycle environment.

Key Benefits

Hybrid BOM control for connected product teams

01

Centralized CAD and BOM management

Connect CAD files, product structures, and BOM data so engineering teams can manage design updates with fewer manual handoffs.

02

Desktop sync and BOM data alignment

Synchronize product data from desktop work into Nora IPLM while preserving the relationships teams need for accurate hybrid BOMs.

03

Smart revision and iteration tracking

Track how hybrid BOM data evolves across revisions so teams can understand what changed, why it changed, and what is affected.

How It Works

See hybrid BOM management in action

Nora IPLM helps teams connect product structures, CAD data, discipline BOMs, and lifecycle workflows so changes stay visible from design through delivery.

  • Capture hybrid product structure in one view
  • Preserve relationships across mechanical, electrical, and software data
  • Keep downstream teams aligned with approved BOM context
Step-by-Step Guide

Managing a Hybrid BOM in Nora IPLM

01

Connect CAD and product data

Bring design data into the same product lifecycle context as your BOM structures.

02

Import discipline BOMs

Organize mechanical, electrical, and software BOM inputs without losing ownership context.

03

Structure the hybrid view

Link items, documents, CAD references, and relationships into a complete product definition.

04

Compare revisions

Review changes across iterations before they move into manufacturing and procurement workflows.

05

Validate readiness

Check whether product data is complete, traceable, and ready for downstream teams.

06

Release accurate BOM data

Share approved hybrid BOM context with teams that need reliable execution data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hybrid BOM management?

Hybrid BOM management connects mechanical, electrical, software, CAD, document, and manufacturing BOM information into one controlled product lifecycle view.

How does Nora IPLM connect mechanical, electrical, and software BOMs?

Nora IPLM uses connected product structures and relationships so discipline-specific BOM data can be managed together without losing context or ownership.

Can Nora IPLM sync CAD data with BOM structures?

Yes. Nora IPLM supports CAD-connected workflows so product structures, CAD references, and BOM data can stay aligned as designs evolve.

How does hybrid BOM management help manufacturing?

It gives manufacturing teams clearer released product context, reducing confusion caused by disconnected engineering, CAD, and BOM data.

Does Nora IPLM support revision and iteration tracking?

Yes. Teams can track revisions, iterations, and lifecycle history to understand what changed and how it impacts related product structures.
