PLMPlan & Execute
Product Lifecycle Management
One source of product truth, from first idea to final batch. Manage products, formulations, specifications, bills of materials and engineering changes across their whole lifecycle, and release them to manufacturing with full traceability.
The challenge
Product data often lives in spreadsheets, shared drives and separate engineering tools. Versions drift, approvals happen by email and changes take too long to reach the plant, while regulated manufacturers must still prove which revision was used for every batch.
Overview
Our PLM solution manages product definitions across their whole lifecycle, from concept and development through validation, launch, change and retirement. Items, formulations and recipes, specifications, bills of materials, artwork and documents are kept under version control, with clear ownership and lifecycle states.
Engineering changes move through configurable request, review and approval workflows with electronic signatures and a full audit trail. Released data flows straight to MES, recipe management, labelling and ERP, and as-built, genealogy and quality data flow back, closing the loop between design and manufacturing. Where you already use CAD or other engineering tools, PLM connects to them rather than replacing them.
Capabilities
What PLM does
Product Data
- Items, formulations and specifications
- Multi-level engineering and manufacturing BOMs
- Document, artwork and label content control
- Lifecycle states from concept to retirement
Change Management
- Change requests and change orders (ECR/ECO)
- Impact analysis across products, BOMs and sites
- Approval workflows with electronic signatures
- Effectivity by date, lot or serial number
Release & Closed Loop
- Release to MES, recipe, labelling and ERP
- As-built and genealogy data back to engineering
- Quality and complaint feedback to design
- Integration with existing CAD and engineering tools
Benefits
Why manufacturers choose PLM
One source of truth
Every product definition has one current, approved version across sites.
Faster, safer changes
Changes reach production quickly, with impact checked and approvals recorded.
Compliance built in
Audit trails and electronic signatures support regulated manufacturing.
Closed loop
Production and quality data inform the next design.
Ask PLM in plain language
LS Assistant, the AI assistant in every Logical Systems application, answers questions from your live PLM records and shows the sources behind every answer. It keeps learning as your records, work instructions and resolved issues grow, and your data is never used to train AI models.
Answers with sources
Every answer cites the records and work instructions it used.
Your role, your site
It sees only what each user is allowed to see.
Asks before it acts
Every change it proposes needs a person's confirmation and is audited.
18 languages, voice on mobile
Questions, answers and content in your teams' languages.
