Case Study: Auto Modality tracks drone configurations by serial number with OpenBOM

OpenBOM Helps Auto Modality To Track Product Configurations Based On Serial Numbers

Auto Modality, a company building advanced autonomous inspection drones, faced challenges in managing bills of materials (BOMs) and tracking complex product configurations as they moved from proof-of-concept into manufacturing. Their product mix of off-the-shelf and custom parts, along with various imaging and guidance equipment configurations, required a predictable and reliable system. They chose to implement the OpenBOM product memory platform to gain better control over their data.

OpenBOM provided a cloud-based solution that maintained referential integrity, allowing Auto Modality to track the specific configuration of each drone based on its serial number. This enabled the team to look up the exact BOM for any individual unit. The solution also offered limitless team collaboration and provided the structure needed for future plans to track firmware and software. As a result, Auto Modality gained significant predictability and reliability in identifying parts and sources for their complex manufacturing process.
