PDXpert streamlines PLM functionalities—such as bill of materials (BOM), revision control and change management into lightweight processes with immediate benefits. There is a unique manner in which Active Sensing allows organizations to leverage the benefits of PDXpert. Usually, PLM vendors come armed with documents and dummy databases to demonstrate the power of their product. However, as the product is implemented, complexities creep in and the vendor’s technical team becomes an unavoidable, expensive part of the organization.
Active Sensing believes in giving organizations the time for discovering PLM product at their own pace, with their own data and processes. “It’s easier to understand the differences – and unique benefits of PLM if you spend a bit of time exploring its capabilities and thinking about your current practices,” says Lodha. “Since PDXpert can be downloaded, installed and evaluated without our help, the customer is always in control of the process.” Users can choose to install PDXpert on their local network or use private hosting, addressing public cloud security concerns.

“We were the first PLM vendor that saw PDX data exchange as an easy way to move product data from smaller product design companies to their contract manufacturers,” states Lodha. The company has published PDXplorer for its customers’ supply chain in 2004, and has kept it current with new capabilities like BOM comparisons. “It’s become an essential supply chain tool. I’ve been pleased that it’s gained such popularity with customers of other PLM systems,” says Lodha. Active Sensing has been receiving similar accolades from many sectors for simplifying the PLM processes in an easy to use and affordable manner. “Our mantra has always been to optimize the complete experience, and this is reflected in our product decisions,” concludes Lodha.
