The Operational Challenge

Legacy Inefficiencies in Manufacturing

Engineering changes take weeks to propagate from CAD/PLM into ERP and shop-floor work instructions, causing assembly lines to build outdated revisions.

Without autonomous software intelligence, organizations face exponential operational labor drag, transcription error rates exceeding 8%, and compounding response delays that jeopardize enterprise SLAs.

Solution Architecture

How Fortiv Solves This Problem

PLM Revision & Drawing Ingestion

Vision-language models parse ECO justification forms, revision title blocks, and 2D CAD redline annotations.

EBOM-to-MBOM Comparison Engine

Automated semantic graph comparison identifies added, deleted, and modified component lines across multi-level BOMs.

Inventory Obsolescence & Cut-In Analyzer

Cross-references warehouse stock and open work orders to calculate exact financial disposition (Scrap vs Use-Up).

Shop-Floor SOP Propagation

Automatically updates line-side tablet work instructions and sends revised component pick-lists to WMS.

Enterprise Security & Compliance

Zero-Hardware, SOC 2 Type II Encrypted Deployment

All data processing executes in isolated single-tenant environments. Proprietary company records, documents, and client communications are strictly encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256) with zero model retention and no external training on customer data.

Deployment Sprint

4-Week Production Implementation Roadmap

Week 1: Connect PLM (Windchill, Teamcenter) and ERP item master databases.

2

Week 2: Configure BOM reconciliation rules and engineering change workflows.

3

Week 3: Pilot with engineering, materials management, and quality teams.

4

Week 4: Plant-wide rollout with automated shop-floor work instruction updates.

The vision model overlays drawing sheets, rendering a color-coded visual diff that highlights altered dimensions, geometric tolerances, and notes.

We support PTC Windchill, Siemens Teamcenter, Dassault ENOVIA, SolidWorks PDM, Autodesk Vault, and Arena PLM.

It cross-references active purchase orders, warehouse on-hand stock, and WIP assembly stages to recommend the lowest-cost revision cut-in date.

Yes. Once approved by engineering and materials leads, it pushes verified MBOM updates directly into SAP, NetSuite, or Epicor with full audit logs.

Line-side tablets lock obsolete revision views and automatically prompt operators to confirm new revision callouts before proceeding.

Mid-to-large discrete manufacturers eliminate $300,000 to $600,000 in obsolete part write-offs and post-delivery warranty rework in year one.
