Hardware teams don’t usually have a data problem. They have a visibility problem.
As a product moves from engineering to manufacturing and eventually into the field, its information keeps changing BOM revisions, components, suppliers, firmware, test results, production records, and more.
The challenge comes when all of this information is stored separately.
A field failure can then turn into a long investigation just to answer a basic question:
What exactly went into this product, and what changed along the way?
A connected product lifecycle can make that history easier to follow from engineering changes to production and field deployment.
In this video, we look at why product traceability is becoming increasingly important for modern hardware teams and how a connected approach can help teams move from scattered information to a clearer product history.
