Electronic manufacturing services (EMS) companies face multiple challenges in the quoting and pricing process.

Intelligent, process-aware applications can help overcome these challenges, enabling EMS manufacturers to formulate quotes quickly and accurately.

For OEMs, getting quick cost feedback on a project before it is finalized is often a difficult task. Problems with data, such as inaccuracies, inconsistencies and incompleteness, are common and hinder the quoting process.

The lack of standardization in the formatting of the bill of materials (BOM) and PCB layout further complicates matters. Different BOM formats, some more human-readable than machine-readable, create confusion and require considerable manual work to extract key information and its associations.

The Siemens Valor BOM Connector software offers a solution to these issues. It focuses on automatic data import, eliminating manual intervention, and provides several configurable import features to automate the process with different file formats. Once a specific format is configured, BOM Connector stores the settings to automatically apply them to subsequent BOM files with the same format and from the same customer, simplifying and speeding up the quotation process.

Valor BOM Connector is the ideal solution for today's electronic manufacturing services (EMS) companies. We will be happy to analyze your specific challenges and propose the solution best suited to your needs.
