Posted by Engineering.com—Work includes tested integrations, UI workflow updates, and ongoing support to reduce manual handoffs and improve traceability across distributed teams.
OpenBOM is continuing its partnership with AMC Bridge to support software integrations aimed at improving digital continuity across the product lifecycle. The companies are working to connect design, engineering, and supply chain data through integrations that reduce manual handoffs and support collaboration across distributed teams.
Supporting connected manufacturing workflows
The collaboration focuses on helping manufacturers update product data management processes. OpenBOM provides tools for managing bills of materials, engineering change orders and supplier information, while AMC Bridge develops integrations with CAD and engineering software platforms. The goal is to support hybrid environments that link desktop tools with cloud systems while maintaining data accuracy, performance and reliability.
Demonstrating collaboration at Autodesk University 2025
OpenBOM and AMC Bridge presented together at Autodesk University 2025 in Nashville at the Autodesk Platform Services booth. The session described how AMC Bridge supports OpenBOM integrations built on Autodesk Platform Services, connecting CAD, PLM, BOM and enterprise systems through hybrid cloud architectures and API-based connectivity.
The presentation also outlined how the integrations can synchronize product data in real time to link design environments with operational and manufacturing processes, supporting data consistency and traceability across teams.
Integration work
Through their ongoing cooperation, OpenBOM and AMC Bridge develop interoperability solutions for manufacturing organizations. Their work combines OpenBOM’s cloud-based product data management with AMC Bridge’s experience integrating CAD and PLM systems to support product data sharing across tools and teams.
The joint efforts focus on four areas:
- Integrations connecting CAD, PLM, PDM, ERP and supply chain systems with the OpenBOM platform for BOM and product data management and a connected digital thread.
- Integration quality, performance and stability, with testing and validation for production use.
- UI and workflow design intended to simplify common tasks and reduce tool switching.
- Issue resolution and ongoing support, including troubleshooting and updates for specific customer needs.
These capabilities are intended to help organizations replace manual handoffs and disconnected workflows with more consistent digital processes that improve traceability, shorten engineering cycles and support collaboration.
Partnership overview
As manufacturing requirements become more interconnected, OpenBOM and AMC Bridge are continuing their collaboration around digital product lifecycle and integration work. The companies are working to expand OpenBOM’s platform capabilities and support customer needs in areas such as:
- Integrating design, production and supply chain systems using APIs and cloud technologies
- Supporting product development with connected, near real-time data flows
- Enabling hybrid environments that combine on-premises and cloud systems
- Improving collaboration and decision-making for distributed engineering teams
- Adding AI-driven automation and insights to reduce routine manual work and surface relevant information during workflows
The partnership is intended to help manufacturers move toward more connected engineering and data-management processes.
