AI-Powered PLM: The Future of Hardware Product Lifecycle Management

OnTrack · 1 Jul 2025 · 41m · Episode 304

What this episode covers

Michael Corr, CEO and founder of Duro, explains how his cloud-based PLM platform simplifies hardware product lifecycle management by centralizing bill of materials (BOM) data and integrating with supply chain APIs like Octopart and Nexar. He details the transition from traditional, complex legacy PLM systems to a simplified, opinionated tool that enforces best practices to reduce production errors. The conversation highlights the use of AI to automate data normalization, analyze change orders, and optimize Design for Manufacturing (DFM) by leveraging tribal knowledge. Corr also discusses Duro's Vendor Integration Engine (DVE), which connects directly to contract manufacturers for instant quoting and ordering of PCBAs.

    Product Lifecycle Management with Michael Corr

    Michael Corr, founder and CEO of Duro Labs, explains how Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software can streamline hardware development by integrating CAD, bill of materials, and supply chain data. He argues that legacy PLM systems are too complex for early-stage teams, leading many to use error-prone spreadsheets, and positions Duro as an out-of-the-box solution that automates engineering change orders and supplier communication. Corr highlights specific pain points like part shortages and binary CAD file formats, which cause costly PCB respins and delays, and advocates for open APIs to reduce friction between engineers, distributors, and manufacturers.
