Safe fields first
Selected fields can provide context without exposing more data than needed or creating a second source of truth.
Integration example
PLM context without pretending to replace PLM.
PLM remains a strong example of Nolta's visibility-first integration philosophy. Product data can stay in the PLM while selected references and observations become useful context around project work.
Nolta should explain the operational thread around product data: what changed, why it mattered, which project decisions depended on it and what evidence surrounded the work at the time.
How it should work
Context sync, not system replacement.
A PLM connector should bring enough context into Nolta to make project work understandable without duplicating PLM ownership or pretending one tool can own every truth.
- Respect PLM as the product-data source of truth.
- Read selected safe fields when they help project understanding.
- Attach PLM references to allocations, assets, decisions, evidence and timeline events.
- Use Open Context proposals for reviewed enrichment instead of silent mutation.
Operational context
Nolta can connect PLM references to allocations, assets, decisions, evidence, proposals and historical project activity.
