Case Study: Nandan GSE achieves single multi-discipline BOM management with OpenBOM

SMARTEC Leads OpenBOM Implementation For Nandan GSE To Manage A Single Multi-Discipline BOM With Autodesk And Solidworks CAD Systems

Nandan GSE, an aviation ground support equipment manufacturer, faced a challenge managing disparate Bills of Materials (BOMs) that originated from their use of multiple CAD systems, including Dassault Solidworks and Autodesk Inventor. They struggled with disconnected Excel sheets and searching local drives for data, which created organizational problems and did not meet customer demands for a clear, unified view of the product design and BOM throughout the process.

The solution was implemented using OpenBOM, facilitated by their certified consultant Neel SMARTEC. OpenBOM integrated data from all the different CAD tools to create a single, accurate, multi-discipline BOM. This provided the entire team with a unified data source and allowed for customizable views, freeing designers to focus on design work. The results included a significantly faster implementation than traditional PLM systems, an organized build process that delighted customers, and improved capabilities for planning and customer communication.
