For manufacturing & operations

A design change shows you the damage before you commit.

Design, BOM, suppliers, process risk, line qualification, and work instructions hang off one system of record, so a change reveals the affected parts, suppliers, process steps, and qualifications before you scrap or re-validate anything.

Where it goes wrong
A design change that silently breaks the BOM Scrapping long-lead parts bought before V&V BOM drift across variants A stale DMR dFMEA, pFMEA, and WIs in three places
How Avera changes it

From design intent to the line.

Change → assembly & sourcing impact, long-lead included

A design change shows which assemblies, parts, suppliers, and in-flight orders are hit, so you don't scrap long-lead inventory bought before V&V.

pFMEA that links back to design

Process risk derives from the design risk it mitigates and links forward to the process steps that implement the controls: one chain, dFMEA to the line, that siloed tools structurally can't hold.

An always-current DMR

Compiled from specs, BOM, work-instruction documents, QC, and labeling; never a stale binder.

BOM management, with variants

Multi-level BOMs, compare, where-used; variants and configurations as branches of one system of record, so there's no second BOM to drift. Assemblies and BOMs extracted from native CAD land here, proposed for review. Avera Drive →

Design transfer & line qualification

DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ and process validation, sterilization and cleanliness included: the transfer story as records, not binders.

Suppliers, qualified and audited

Supplier qualification, purchasing, and receiving; supplier audits as checklists on the record engine.

Work instructions, born from the risk chain

Controlled documents built from the process steps your pFMEA already analyzes: change a risk control and the flow reaches the instruction that implements it. Versioned, approved, and compiled into the DMR.

DHR & the installed base

Units and lots are items: genealogy per serial, device history records, and retrofits recorded against each unit, traced to the exact design version it was built from.

The ERP boundary

Not an ERP. Connected to yours.

Avera owns the device record: designs, BOMs, processes, quality, history. Financials, inventory, and orders stay in your ERP, connected over the REST API. The boundary is deliberate, and it keeps both systems honest.

Proof in action

Don't scrap the long-lead order.

A design input changes. Instantly see the affected BOM lines, suppliers, and in-flight purchase orders, including long-lead parts ordered before V&V, and the process steps and qualifications that move with them. Decide before you commit capital, not after.

Straight answers

The boundary, stated plainly.

"Is it a full MES?"

No: Avera is light MES (supplier qualification, procurement, receiving, lots and device history). Full shop-floor execution isn't our territory.

"Pre-built ERP connectors?"

ERP flows over the REST API; you build the connector to your system.

"What about retrofits in the field?"

Units are items: the trace enumerates affected serials, and each retrofit is recorded against that unit's device history.
