What PLMore is
PLMore is open-source Product Lifecycle Management software aimed at industrial professionals. The project positions it as an alternative to Windchill and Teamcenter, with more than 14 modules for general and specialized tooling. Its described functions include viewing stock and inventory together, managing bills of materials and batch tracking, and following production and consumption in real time. Supply-chain tools cover requests, procurements, and progress tracking, while charts present progress and trends for decision-making. The repository describes managing and sharing CAD files, BOM data, lifecycle information, supplier details, and material data. PLMore runs natively in the cloud, and its platforms include self-hosted and web. Many capabilities remain on the project roadmap, including CAD application integration, document repositories, access controls, BOM structure drill-down, risk tools, and corrective and preventive action. Kubernetes deployment guidance for on-premise or cloud use is planned. The repository identifies a GPL-3.0 license, and the security policy marks version 0.x Alpha as supported for security updates.
