Omme Gears is an SME that specializes in the design and sale of gearboxes alongside the manufacture of medium and large gears.

With the increase in customers and products sold, design activities have become time consuming, especially for managing history, technical changes, and required customizations. Since design is the entity responsible for producing technical documentation for internal and external use, it becomes critical to keep it efficient to avoid negative impacts in downstream activities.

Hence the need for the introduction of a Product Lifecycle Management software platform in order to support engineering activities while also integrating the production organization offices, purchasing office and production with the aim of arriving at a single repository repository of the company’s technical know-how that supports collaboration among the various teams.

In more detail, the project aims to improve the management of technical changes and product revisions by avoiding duplication of codes for geometrically identical elements and by streamlining the creation and search of documentation through the structuring of a single repository.

To improve the traceability and efficiency of pre- and post-production processes, the aim is to reduce data-entry errors to zero by implementing an automatic handover of the MBOM to the company’s existing ERP/MRP system, and dedicated codes for managing all the components of a product are planned.
