PLM Product Lifecycle Management | Documents, BOM, Process, Change & Projects

Core Capabilities

CORE CAPABILITIES

01 / DOCUMENT

Document Management

Manage drawings and technical documents centrally, with classification, search, lightweight previews, archiving, controlled borrowing and batch operations.

02 / BOM

BOM Management

Manage products and components in a hierarchical structure. Generate BOMs by extracting data from 2D drawings and 3D designs.

03 / PROCESS

Process Management

Define process routings, operations, work in progress and related process data around materials and BOMs.

04 / CHANGE

Engineering Changes

Use ECR / ECN workflows to manage change requests, reviews, approvals and releases through a complete, traceable process.

05 / VERSION

Version Management

Control lifecycle states from draft and review to release and obsolescence. Search, compare and trace historical versions.

06 / PERMISSION

Access Control

Configure permissions by folder, role and action, with granular control over viewing, borrowing, editing, downloading and archiving.

07 / PROJECT

Project Management

Support APQP with project templates, task breakdowns, milestones, planned versus actual progress and Gantt charts.

08 / INTEGRATION

System Integration

Connect to ERP and MES through standard APIs to share material, BOM, process and controlled technical data.

Document Management | Controlled Drawing Assets

DOCUMENT / VERSION / WORKFLOW / PERMISSION

Centralised, controlled and traceable documents

Effective drawing management depends on consistent numbering, central storage, version control, access approval and controlled document borrowing.

Central Storage & Efficient SearchOrganise documents in a unified folder structure with multi-criteria search and lightweight online previews.

Automatic Drawing NumbersGenerate unique codes using configurable prefixes, dates, sequential numbers and other rules.

Electronic Approval & ArchivingSubmit → multi-level review → approval → archive in the repository → official version.

Version & Access ControlPrevent obsolete drawings from reaching the shop floor. Control access by folder, role and action.

PanCore PLM document workspace and CAD preview

Document Workspace + CAD PreviewAn engineering workspace with a folder tree, file list and action buttons. A pop-up 2D CAD preview supports controlled drawing management, version tracking and online viewing.

01Complete DesignCAD design and drawing upload

02Submit for ApprovalMulti-role, multi-level review

03Official ReleaseCreate a controlled version

04ArchiveFreeze versions and retain records

05Production / PurchasingUse the controlled version downstream

Versions, Permissions & Engineering Changes

VERSION / PERMISSION / ECR / ECN

Keep released versions controlled and every change traceable

Version lifecycles, granular permissions and change workflows define who can view or edit data, when it is released and why it changes.

Version LifecycleDraft → In Review → Released → Obsolete, with full historical traceability.

Granular PermissionsControl viewing, borrowing, editing, copying, downloading, archiving, unarchiving and obsolescence by role.

Engineering ChangesRecord the reason for change, affected documents and materials, review comments, results and timestamps.

Complete ECR / ECN WorkflowMaintain a complete record of change requests, impact assessments, approvals, notifications and implementation.

PLM engineering change and version management interface

Engineering Change & Version ManagementA change-order workspace with workflow diagrams and historical version lists connects change requests, approval routing and version records.

BOM Management | Product Structures from Design Data

DESIGN BOM / TREE BOM / MATERIAL MASTER

Connect engineering, purchasing and production through the BOM

Extract hierarchical BOMs from 2D and 3D design data, linking material codes, names, specifications, quantities, drawings and version status.

BOM Extraction from 2D / 3DExtract component relationships from CAD drawings and assembly structures.

Product Structure TreeBrowse products, assemblies, parts and their drawings by level.

Standard Material LibraryUnify material master data, reuse common parts and identify duplicate designs.

Synchronised Changes & VersionsKeep materials, drawings and BOM versions consistent and traceable.

BOM Management WorkspaceA product structure tree on the left and a multi-level BOM on the right show material codes, names, versions, creators and related attributes for structured engineering BOM management and traceability.

Automatic ExtractionReduce manual entry and checking

Clear StructureUnderstand product levels at a glance

Linked DrawingsManage drawings, materials and BOMs together

Controlled VersionsSynchronise changes and trace history

Process Management | Link BOMs to Routings

PROCESS ROUTING / OPERATION / WIP

Extend product structures into manufacturing processes

Locate and link process routings from the standard material library or BOM. Maintain operations, input materials, work in progress and process attributes.

Process RoutingsDefine manufacturing routes and versions for products or materials.

Operation ManagementMaintain operation sequences, teams, labour times, materials and process attributes.

Material Inputs & ConsumptionDefine material inputs and consumption relationships for each operation.

Work-in-Progress ManagementManage work in progress between operations to support downstream manufacturing execution.

PLM process routing and operation management interface

Process Routing & Operation ManagementMaintain operation codes, names, sequences, teams, equipment, labour times, materials and tooling, with links to input materials and work in progress.

ERP / MES Integration | From Engineering to Production

ERP / MES / RESTFUL API / JSON / XML

PLM → ERP: Material & BOM Data

PLM exports structured material master data and hierarchical BOMs. ERP applies its own business rules to establish material, BOM and version relationships, reducing duplicate entry and maintaining consistency.

PLM BOM transfer to ERP: mapping, validation and feedback

Transfer PLM BOMs to ERP Product structure and material data → field mapping and validation → ERP material master and BOM records.

HTTPS / RESTfulJSON / XMLField MappingLog Monitoring

PLM → MES: Controlled Data for the Shop Floor

Release controlled drawings, SOPs and process documents to MES so production teams can access the correct technical versions during execution.

PLM technical data release to MES and shop-floor execution

PLM → MES Technical Data Release Controlled drawings, BOMs and process data flow into MES work orders and operations, then on to the shop floor.

Controlled DrawingsSOPProcess DocumentsVersion Consistency

Project Management & APQP

PROJECT / APQP / GANTT / MILESTONE

Coordinate development with templates, tasks and milestones

Project management works best where processes are established, responsibilities are clear and progress is maintained consistently. The software supports and standardises the existing management framework.

Project TemplatesReuse established project structures and task lists

Task BreakdownWBS, roles, durations and deliverables

Gantt ChartsPlanned versus actual progress and milestones

APQPSupport five development phases and cross-functional collaboration

Service scope: We provide the software, feature training and usage guidance. The customer's management team remains responsible for planning, task breakdown, project delivery and outcomes. Where engineering processes are still evolving, we recommend starting with document, BOM and change management.
