Case Study: Build With Robots streamlines product development and lifecycle management with OpenBOM

OpenBOM helps Build With Robots to find a sustainable path for product development, manufacturer interactions, and lifecycle management

Build With Robots, a company that designs and manufactures autonomous cleaning robots, faced a challenge scaling its production and managing engineering changes. Their existing process, reliant on Excel spreadsheets, became inadequate as demand grew, leading to confusion over part revisions and difficulties in communicating with manufacturers. They selected OpenBOM to replace this system and gain control over their product data.

The implementation of OpenBOM provided a centralized system of record for their multi-disciplinary bill of materials, integrating data from mechanical and electrical design tools. This allowed Build With Robots to reliably share the latest revisions and all specifications with domestic contract manufacturers using OpenBOM's export features. The solution made their BOM process reliable and repeatable, significantly reducing the time engineers spent searching for files and improving overall quality as they scaled production.
