The challenge
Release packages could reach reviewers with an unreleased component, an outdated drawing or incomplete approval evidence. Manual checks made preparation inconsistent.
The intervention
The agent evaluated multi-level BOMs, lifecycle states, linked drawings, effectivity and sign-offs. It returned readiness status with the affected object, governing rule and missing evidence.
How the layers connect
Simplified architecture based on the published implementation.
- 01PLM release package
- 02BOM + lifecycle relationships
- 03Evidence checks
- 04Engineering review
- 05Existing release workflow
What changed
- Reviewers received specific missing-evidence explanations linked to the relevant PLM object.
- The existing PLM process retained approval and release authority; the agent did not promote lifecycle states independently.
The product system already knows how its objects connect. The engineering task is to turn those relationships into an explanation a reviewer can act on.
