BOM Connector

BOM Connector
BOM Connector simplifies the tasks of loading, preparing, cleaning, formatting, checking, and comparing BOM data in electronics manufacturing. It eliminates manual work and unsafe, hand-crafted processes for sizing PCB designs. Integrated with Siemens MES tools, it helps you quickly create more accurate estimates through a powerful database that enables tracking and reuse of data for future projects.

Why choose BOM Connector for your BOM listing?

  • Decreases quotation time and increases accuracy

    BOM Connector helps you quickly find the best price and relative availability of components by connecting to component suppliers for the most up-to-date information. It checks the correctness of the client's BOM and significantly reduces the quotation time for the same client's BOMs.

  • Easily map customer BOM with your ERP

    This tool quickly imports and validates your customer's BOM and links it to the material already in stock, whose information is available in your ERP, and identifies any unavailable components, allowing you to generate a complete and accurate quote.

  • Reduces the likelihood of production errors

    Any electronics company, EMS or OEM, can benefit from BOM Connector because of its ability to highlight manufacturing errors caused by sourcing incorrect parts by checking both the BOM itself and the consistency of the BOM against the PCB.

  • Integrates with smart manufacturing tools

    Siemens provides all the tools for implementing Industry 4.0, from engineering to manufacturing operations. BOM Connector is closely integrated with these tools to extend the benefits of digitization to the entire process.

Makes all BOM data fully usable, verifying its correctness
BOM Connector significantly reduces the risk of errors by checking the consistency of the BOM and the correctness of component codes. After importing the materials BOM, it performs a verification of the structure and the presence of all the necessary information. It then goes on to check the actual existence of each component on various third-party databases. If necessary, it is also possible to check that components are not obsolete.

EMS listing challenges: it's not just about prices
  • The number of quotations typically exceeds the number of jobs that move into production, often by a significant margin.
  • Client BOM files come in a wide variety of formats and, more importantly, with varying levels of quality. Customer part data is often inaccurate and subject to change, and these changes are rarely communicated properly to the EMS.
  • A considerable amount of time is wasted simply determining whether the parts exist in the company’s ERP system, whether they can be used, are in stock, or need to be sourced.
  • Errors in data sources lead to quotation delays and increased production costs. Identifying obsolete parts or those nearing end of life (EOL) is essential for effective procurement.
  • Obtaining reliable information on component prices and delivery times is a complex and difficult process when done manually.
  • Quotations are usually managed by the Purchasing or Logistics Department, which are typically not directly involved in production.
  • OEMs often face the same issues, although in more controlled environments.
