DevWorks Automation provides BOM automation and validation services for manufacturers using SOLIDWORKS and DriveWorks, integrating with ERP and PLM systems such as SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics, to eliminate manual BOM errors, accelerate engineering change orders, and keep production data synchronized.

Manual BOM processes are slow, error-prone, and unable to scale with modern product complexity. Automation transforms how engineering and operations teams manage, validate, and synchronize BOM data.
Our BOM Automation & Validation Services
Automated BOM Generation
Automatically generate accurate BOMs from CAD models or product configurators. Reduce manual effort and ensure consistency across all product data.
Rule-Based Validation
Apply intelligent rules to validate components and dependencies in real time. Prevent errors and ensure every BOM is production-ready.
Multi-Level BOM Management
Manage complex assemblies with structured, multi-level BOM hierarchies. Maintain clarity and control across all product components.
ERP Integration
Seamlessly connect BOM data with your ERP system for smooth workflows. Ensure real-time synchronization across departments.
Change Management Automation
Automatically update BOMs when design or configuration changes occur. Keep data accurate and aligned without manual intervention.
Error Detection & Reporting
Identify inconsistencies and missing data before production begins. Generate clear reports to resolve issues quickly and efficiently.
Key Benefits of BOM Automation & Validation
Automating your BOM process isn't just about speed. It's about gaining accuracy, consistency, and control across every stage of product development.
Faster BOM Turnaround
Generate accurate BOMs in minutes instead of days. That speed comes from generating the BOM directly from CAD and configuration data instead of building it by hand.
Error Reduction
Catch missing or mismatched components automatically. Validation rules run on every BOM before it reaches manufacturing, not after a build reveals the mistake.
Consistency & Standardization
Every BOM follows the same structure and naming. That consistency makes BOMs easier to read, compare, and hand off between engineering, procurement, and manufacturing.
Cost Efficiency
Reduce rework, scrap, and expedite fees from bad BOMs. Fewer BOM errors mean fewer last minute part orders and less material waste on the shop floor.
Scalability
Manage BOMs across thousands of parts with ease. The same rule set applies whether a product has ten components or ten thousand, so accuracy does not depend on order volume.
Improved Productivity
Free your team to focus on higher-value work. Engineers spend less time re-entering part data and more time on design and process improvement.
Our Process
01
Requirement Analysis
We analyze your existing BOM structure, workflows, and system landscape to identify gaps, challenges, and automation opportunities. This includes reviewing how BOM data currently moves between CAD, engineering, and your ERP or PLM system.
02
System Design
Our team defines the automation logic, validation rules, and integration architecture tailored to your business requirements. Validation rules are built around your existing engineering standards, not a generic template.
03
Implementation
We develop and configure the BOM automation workflows, ensuring seamless integration with your existing systems. Your engineering team stays involved throughout, so the automated workflow matches how BOMs are actually used on the shop floor.
04
Testing & Validation
All processes are rigorously tested using real-world scenarios to ensure accuracy, reliability, and error-free outputs. We test against your real product data and edge cases before go live, not sample data.
Industries We Serve
Manufacturing businesses deal with complex assemblies, tight tolerances, and high-volume production requirements, where BOM accuracy and repeatable processes directly affect margins.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing businesses deal with complex assemblies, tight tolerances, and high-volume production requirements, where BOM accuracy and repeatable processes directly affect margins.
Problem
Manual BOM management across high-volume, multi-variant production is slow, inconsistent, and error-prone.
Solution
Automate BOM generation and validation so every assembly ships accurate, on schedule, and fully audit-ready.
Technologies We Use
DriveWorks
SolidWorks
ERP Systems (SAP, Oracle, etc.)
Custom Automation Tools
DriveWorks
Rule-based design automation and CPQ that generates accurate BOMs directly from product configurations and engineering rules.
Frequently asked questions
BOM Automation uses rule-based logic to generate, validate, and synchronize your Bill of Materials directly from CAD, PLM, or configurator data, removing manual entry and the errors that come with it.
Yes. We commonly integrate with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and other major ERP/PLM platforms, with custom connectors available for proprietary or legacy systems.
It checks for missing part numbers, unit of measure mismatches, duplicate entries, and non-conforming specifications before the BOM reaches manufacturing.
Yes. BOM data is generated directly from SOLIDWORKS models and DriveWorks configurations, so there is no manual re-entry.
Yes. The platform maintains structure, accuracy, and traceability across multi-level BOMs, whether a product has dozens or thousands of variants.
The BOM updates automatically and is re-validated, so engineering change orders propagate across affected assemblies without manual rework.
It depends on complexity, but typically ranges from a few weeks to months.
Yes. Validation rules, BOM structures, and integration workflows are all configured around your existing engineering standards and systems, not a fixed template.
