PLM Process Automation

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has become the gamechanger across industries to automate the repetitive human activities of the backend processes using BOTS (Software robots). With evolution of RPA, there were many false assumptions that the BOTS would replace manpower and leave resources jobless. A human resource in any department should be used effectively to draw more productive work resulting in overall growth of the organization, which is not the case in many organizations across industries where the skilled (Technical and non-Technical) resources are forced to work on tedious repetitive tasks from as simple as read and reply multiple emails to as complex as logging in to various internal systems (core database systems to enterprise systems like ERP, PLM, CRM, ECAD, SAP etc.)
Organizations across Banking, Financial Services & Insurance industry has adopted RPA for their backend processes from leaders in Automation. Our experience working with one of the leaders in BFSI India has taught how C-Level personnel thinks in extracting the best out of the investment and how soon to adopt the technology in departments of the organization, not just adopting the technology, but train internal resources to support the users, how to be productive and get higher ROI. Learning the pain areas of the C-Level personnel Plural Technology has built the solution framework solving most of the issues while keeping the implementation costs lower giving high ROI.

PLM Process Automation

BringMeBis has built a simple solution framework – PPA (PLM Process Automation), which mimics the human activities such as collecting / extracting data from drawings / legacy systems, migrating data to Enterprise systems like ERP, PLM, CRM etc. with predefined process rules. During migration of data, it also reads key information and loads into PLM systems and updates PLM or ERP objects data as per the pre-defined rules. If there is legacy scanned documents or drawings data which is available at some physical or shared drive, these BOTS can help read and extract data from such documents. Plural Technology makes the solution easily configurable and deployed at any enterprise level, define custom rules, access control and security & user management process. They can also help manage sub process(es) at activity level where all logs can be recorded, reports error to the responsible to act on. These BOTS can be configured at either department/organization/enterprise levels. Reports can be monitored on the dashboard to carry analysis and further improvise the performance as desired. BOTS can be customized and configured with any of the engineering process where repetitive tasks, calculation, data entry into specific system is prominent with no value add either to the organization or employee. These processes can be scheduled as either by automatic or interactive processing.

PLM Process Automation Use Cases

PLM implementation involves various people of the enterprise. Providing right information to individuals for search criteria is key aspect of any organization for reducing time to market Security of intellectual data, cost & compliance management are main objective of PLM implementation for any organization. Individuals across departments, technology partners, vendors, customers play a key role and are involved in carrying out the objective successfully. Plural Technology has significant experience in implementation of various PLM tools like PTC, Aras, Agile from over a decade.
Working closely with individuals across departments allowed us to recognize many repetitive tasks entitled to an end user, few time-consuming and cost involved operations in data migration from various system. We noticed manual tasks where design engineers, managers, change managers are involved and have to login to PLM system to perform design and release process which has workflows and lifecycles.

Security

Though digital transformation excites an organization moving to the next level, there’s always a concern on the security as the data is highly sensitive. PPA solution architecture is designed ensuring high data security with fair encryption decryption and network data security. PPA solution can be deployed on either PLM server, dedicated physical server or on cloud based on customer requirement without disrupting any current infrastructure.
