Every company is a technology (and information) company now, and the Digital Thread brings all your data, insights, designs, and processes into one location to find the connections that the raw data would have otherwise hidden. A true digital thread provides the means that future-thinking organizations need to succeed in a world where work will never be the same.
Read MoreWhy integrate OpenBOM and ERP? What would such an integration do? And how is it implemented? These questions will be the focus of a three (3) blog series.
So let’s kick it off with the first blog and a short (re)visit to the popular theme of the “digital thread.”
Simply put, the idea of the digital thread is to link data that is generated from across the product lifecycle of activities. There is a lot of buzz around this concept. Analysts, software vendors and industry thought leaders all purport its importance and value. Organizations may not use the same phrase, but they want and need improved efficiencies, the ability to streamline processes, automate menial and repetitive tasks, and ultimately improve their performance and competitiveness.
Read MorevdR is thrilled to announce our recent partnership with OpenBOM to enabling low-code integrations between OpenBOM and enterprise applications leveraging Nexus for OpenBOM. Nexus for OpenBOM is designed to treat data and processes unique to engineering and manufacturing transactions such as part/BOM release, document release, state-change event triggers, and more recently, data synchronization.

This solution overview and demo highlights CAD search capabilities, native 2D and 3D viewing, where-used and composed-of insights, and property linking to ERP, PLM and other applications.
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.
