Stay in control of your product versions and track every change.
If you’re spending too much time digging through CAD files or old documents just to figure out what changed — you’re not alone.
Revisions are a natural part of any manufacturing process, but they can be frustrating to manage without the right tools. With Beas Manufacturing, you can easily track every version and every change — whether you’re in discrete or process manufacturing. See exactly what’s different in each revision, avoid errors, and spend more time building great products instead of chasing paperwork. Thanks to powerful integration and automation, Beas streamlines version control to save you time and reduce costs at every step of the manufacturing process.
Versioning and revision control are flexible enough for many different types of manufacturing processes.
You can set up different versions and revisions at the item and BOM levels and have any number of versions active in parallel. Create a flexible assignment of BOMs and routings that allow 1:1, 1:n, and n:1 relations between version levels.
In addition, you can create new versions, inactive them, view the history of changes, set a version as active or inactive, and much more.
With Beas Manufacturing version and revision control, you can assign statuses for every version, defining specific authorizations to control and determine which documents or transactions could be used.
You can create and manage as many versions as you want for the same items, allowing you to track them throughout their whole lifecycle, without having to create new item codes for every change and maintaining easy statistical analyses possibilities.
Having version control in process and regulated manufacturing environments means you can safely track the product life cycle.
This includes development/documentation with formulations, properties, documents, release for commercialization, master data for production, calculation data, work orders, and more.
And if needed, you can add the regulatory version and revision level that is tracked from R&D to Quality Management both at item and BOM levels.
Batch and serial number traceability allow you to know which versions have been sold to which customers and security controls inside Beas prevent you from delivering the wrong versions.
You can start your product development in CAD/PDM and completely integrate it to Beas Master Data, using our integration tools to automatically import data into new versions and revisions of your products.
Additionally, as version-managed products should be managed either by batches or serial numbers, it is possible to control the exact amount of stock existing for every version, although they are all part of the same item code.
