Process manufacturing refers to a production method producing finished goods by combining various raw materials with a particular formula and under specific conditions. It is commonly used across pharmaceutical, paint and coating, specialty chemicals, food and beverages, fashion and more. While process manufacturing has been responsive to technology, the industry struggles with concerns like increased production costs, manufacturing delays, instinctive decision-making, inventory management, poor product quality, etc.

Digital transformation is considered a breakthrough for the process manufacturing industry as much as it is for others. It can help process manufacturers leverage technologies like automation, data analytics, IoT, AI, etc., foster a significant rise in production efficiency, quality and output. Additionally, PLM can help manufacturers augment productivity and exercise control over a product’s lifecycle by managing it comprehensively.

Plural Technology can step in as your digital transformation partner in helping manufacturing companies keep up with digital transformation and Industry 4.0 revolution.

Product Lifecycle Management

Our expertise in various PLM platforms helps us cover numerous areas, including collaborating on product development, streamlining processes, and managing data from various sources. The key modules where we help manufacturers leverage PLM tools to boost productivity include the below.

  • Choosing the right PLM to create and manage product designs, create product specifications, and perform design analysis and optimization.
  • Managing product data, including design files, bill of materials (BOM), product specifications, and technical documentation.
  • Ensuring data consistency, accuracy, and availability across different departments and functions through the right PLM platform
  • Assisting with the manufacturing process planning module to define and optimize the manufacturing process. It includes process planning, routing, and scheduling.
  • Additionally, we help implement a PLM system to reduce production time and cost, improve product quality, and increase manufacturing efficiency.
  • Maintaining product quality via PLM’s quality management module to define and enforce quality standards and procedures, perform quality checks and inspections, and manage quality-related data and documentation.
  • Our PLM support also includes supply chain management with the respective module to manage the supply chain, by covering various areas like supplier selection, procurement, inventory management, and logistics.

Furthermore, our expertise and support also entail compliance management, change management, and product performance insights.
