BISE PLM · Product Lifecycle Management

Control the change.
Release the right
revision.

Engineering change control, revision-managed drawings, a multi-cloud vault, and AI-powered estimation — on top of the ERP you already run.

01 — Who it's for

Engineering control for
the factory — not a
file server.

For engineering and manufacturing teams who need controlled changes, revision-managed drawings, and estimation — without the complexity and cost of enterprise PLM systems like Teamcenter or Windchill.

BISE PLM connects engineering decisions directly to manufacturing execution. A released ECN doesn't just update a document — it stands down the old revision on the shop floor and re-launches production on the new baseline.

02 — What it does

01Engineering Change Management

  • ECR initiates a controlled change — one open per item enforced.
  • Design Review orchestrates multi-reviewer sign-off with quorum enforcement.
  • ECN formally releases the change — can only be created from an approved Design Review.
  • ECN Gate blocks Material Requests and Work Orders for items without a released ECN.

02Drawing Vault & Revision Control

  • Multi-format support — PDF, DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, GLB, 3MF, JT, and more.
  • Browser-based CAD viewer with STEP/IGES → GLB tessellation and three.js WASM rendering.
  • Check-out / check-in with single-writer locking. Google Drive, OneDrive, NAS/SMB, S3, SFTP backends.
  • Queue-based sync every 10 minutes, daily reconciliation, Windows desktop agent.

03AI Drawing Intelligence & Estimation

  • YOLOv8 + OCR auto-detects dimensions, GD&T frames, and balloon callouts from engineering drawings.
  • Creates Quality Inspection Templates automatically from extracted characteristics.
  • ML predicts cost, routing, and machining time from CAD geometry for new revisions.

03 — The moment it earns its keep

A drawing revision is released. BISE PLM automatically stands down in-flight Work Orders on the old revision, disposes WIP through an NCR, re-launches production on the new baseline, and flags PPAP re-evaluation — all in one auditable cascade.

04 — Works with your ERP

  • Reads item codes, BOMs, and routing from your ERP.
  • No procurement, no stock transactions — your ERP already does that.
  • ECN release pushes updated BOMs and routings back to your ERP.

05 — Better with the suite

  • + BISE QC: AI-extracted drawing characteristics feed inspection templates; PPAP re-evaluation is flagged automatically on ECN.
  • + BISE IMS: design review records become audit evidence; drawings come under document control.

06 — Outcomes

No unauthorized changes
ECN gate blocks production without released engineering.
Every revision traceable
Drawing, BOM, and routing history with full audit trail.
AI-accelerated estimation
Cost and routing predictions from geometry, not guesswork.

Put engineering control on your factory.

We'll walk through one engineering change — from ECR to released drawing to shop-floor cut-in — on your own data. Live.
