Siemens BOM Connector quoting tool

The Siemens BOM Connector is a complete BOM (bill of materials) tool for quoting in an EMS environment. It is designed to help users streamline the component procurement process and create quotations with less time and effort, without needing input from manufacturing process engineers.

The product helps to create quotes quickly and provides a powerful database backend to track and re-use work for future projects. It works seamlessly with Siemens Valor MSS Process Preparation to close the loop on the NPI process to include the often disconnected and manually slow process of generating costing for BOM materials need for an electronic assembly.

Customer data is pulled into the BOM Connector database via direct connections to the key data sources. Most important of these is the ERP system. Additional sources of technical or commercial data, such as a CMS system or a PLM system, can also be connected. PCB data or manufacturing process data can be brought in from an MES system. Siemens says that wherever there is information that can be used to improve the BOM data and quotation process flow, BOM Connector will interface to it.
