How CATIM is using Autodesk Fusion 360 and OpenBOM to achieve outstanding quality

CATIM Bill of Materials requirements is as diverse as their products!  According to CATIM Solution Architect, “Combining BOMs from disparate design systems was next to impossible using Excel”.

Creating Automation and Technology In Motion – that’s what  www.catim.co is all about. CATIM designs and manufactures a wide variety of automation solutions for buildings, factories and office space serving a variety of businesses and industries.  CATIM products are cross-functional and include robotic and mechatronics, IoT, solar, power, PLC and other automation components just to name a few.  

CATIM discovered OpenBOM out of simple necessity.  “We needed some way to make a BOM from Autodesk’s Fusion 360,” says their Design Manager. “I went to my keyboard and quickly discovered OpenBOM.  We gave it a try and are now saving literally hundreds of hours a year with OpenBOM”.

OpenBOM seamlessly integrates with Autodesk Fusion 360 and has the flexibility to manage data for CATIM. Read more about what CATIM does with OpenBOM here
