How is an integration between OpenBOM and ERP established? Part 3 of a 3 Part Blog Series

OpenBOM leverages Nexus as the “environment bonding” platform to exchange data with ERP and other enterprise platforms such as enterprise content management (ECM), manufacturing execution systems (MES), and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO).  Nexus is published by the vdR Group, Inc. and is a true SaaS platform facilitated by its no-code integration capabilities.

Duro Announces Partnership with vdR Group

Partnership Helps Expand Duro’s PLM Integration Ecosystem

Disconnected silos of data are the bane of any business. This is especially true in the manufacturing industry for product data and change management solutions which are often isolated from downstream applications such as ERP, MES, and ECM. Each additional silo can dramatically impact delivery schedules, the cost of quality, and ultimately the bottom line.

“What if engineering data and process management solutions could work with the broader enterprise to behave as one integrated solution? Users wouldn’t need to switch between applications to get the information they need. Parts, bills of materials, metadata, and documents and drawings could be automatically shared and/or exchanged at the right time to ensure everyone is on the same page,” said Martin van der Roest, President at vdR Group. “This tight integration between vdR’s Nexus platform and Duro’s powerful, yet simple PLM solution does just that.”

Duro’s revolutionary cloud-native PLM removes all of the friction that exists today when it comes to setting up and managing manufacturing and engineering software. Nexus builds on Duro’s vision by radically simplifying integrations without sacrificing the functionality and intelligence needed in today’s complex and fast-paced design and manufacturing lifecycle.

Case Study - Innovation Through Connectivity in the Energy Industry

Company Background

Caltex Oil Tools is a product and services company with over 30 years of experience in the on-shore and offshore oil and gas industry. Recently, however, the company underwent an ownership and leadership change that led to a strategic shift toward a focus on highly specialized engineering capabilities and solutions—specifically on equipment used between the water line and mud line in the deep-water space. A typical engagement might involve oil well ‘production enhancement,’ where specialized equipment is used to make a well more productive. This involves developing machinery that gives the field team access to the well bore to deliver chemical packages that increase oil production.

Introducing Nexus

Introducing Nexus

What if you could establish an environment whereby standalone applications work together to look and behave as one integrated solution? Parts, bills of materials, their documents and drawings could be automatically shared and/or exchanged at the right time to ensure everyone is on the same page, users wouldn’t be required to switch between applications to get the information, solutions could be left as-is, and there would be no need to “rip and replace” nor go through data warehousing or data lakes implementation exercises.
