The Hidden Liability: How Document Chaos is Sabotaging Manufacturing
OpenText warns that fragmented manufacturing documents—engineering drawings, quality records, maintenance logs, and compliance data—create costly risks including rework, downtime, audit failures, and loss of expertise as experienced employees retire. Traditional document management struggles to connect information across PLM, ERP, and MES systems. OpenText advocates a unified, AI-powered content platform that centralizes technical information, automates version control and quality workflows, and makes knowledge searchable through natural-language queries. This approach can accelerate audits and root-cause analysis, reduce downtime, strengthen compliance, preserve tribal knowledge, and turn scattered documents into actionable manufacturing intelligence.
