Bill of materials and engineering (PLM)
Parts, assemblies and revisions under control
Industric organizes each project into a multi-level bill of materials (BoM): assemblies, subassemblies, parts and consumables, with their versions and drawings. Engineering changes are assessed before they reach the shop floor.

01The problem
A design change that never reaches the shop floor is expensive
When the bill of materials lives in spreadsheets and emails, a new revision can coexist with the old one and nobody knows which is current.
Mixed revisions
A part is machined to the previous drawing revision because the change was never communicated.
Changes with no calculated cost
An engineering change is approved without knowing how much it adds in hours, material and delay.
A structure that is hard to follow
In a mold or machine with hundreds of parts, it is hard to know what is missing and which assembly it belongs to.
02Demo
The mold structure and its change in progress
The tree shows what makes up the assembly and which revision each part is on. Change ECO-0007 blocks the affected orders until it is approved.

PRT-0811 orders stay blocked until approval. Once implemented, rev. D reaches the shop floor as the only current revision.

03How Industric solves it
Every feature, tied to a result
Multi-level BoM
A tree of parent assembly, subassemblies, parts (PRT) and consumables (MAT) to control what makes up each project.
BoM versions
Every engineering revision is versioned, so revisions never get mixed during production.
3D viewer in the browser
Review 3D models (GLB/GLTF) inside the project record without installing CAD software.
PDF data sheets
Generate the tooling's technical dossier with an assembly summary, components, dimensions and photos.
Engineering change orders (ECO)
Every change request is tied to the project, assembly and part, with its impact on cost, hours, scrap and schedule calculated before approval.
Approval workflow
Draft, in review, approved and implemented (or rejected). Affected work orders stay blocked in the meantime.
04How an engineering change works
Assess the impact before releasing production
Log the change request on the affected part or assembly.
Review the impact: added cost, hours, scrap and days of delay in the schedule.
Approve or reject the change. While it is decided, the affected work orders stay blocked.
Implement: the new version of the BoM and drawing reaches the shop floor as the only current one.
05FAQ
About BoM and engineering changes
What is a multi-level BoM?
It is the bill of materials organized as a tree: the main assembly contains subassemblies, and those contain parts and consumables. It shows what depends on what.
Do I need CAD software to view the models?
No. Industric's 3D viewer opens GLB and GLTF models directly in the browser.
What is an ECO?
An engineering change order: the formal record of a design modification, with its justification, impact and approval.
