BOM (Bill of Materials)

In robotics hardware, the BOM lists every component, subassembly, part number, quantity, and unit cost required to build a system. Accurate BOMs are critical for production scaleup, procurement, supply-chain risk management, and cost modeling. For open-source robot platforms such as OpenArm or ALOHA, a published BOM allows external teams to reproduce the hardware without proprietary dependencies. Enterprise teams evaluating robot deployment often request a BOM to benchmark total cost of ownership against lease or robot-as-a-service alternatives — compare SVRC leasing options.
