CAD + PLM + ERP: Digitize your Product Data Highway

One Platform – One Product Truth

Streamlined and transparent data across Engineering, Operations and Manufacturing

  • Increase efficiency with Data Reuse and avoid duplicates and eliminate redudant, manual data entry.
  • Reduce lead time with One Source of Truth and manage your items, BOMs, 2D/3D-models (mCAD/eCAD) and related product documentation in one solution.​
  • Decrease errors with Data Flow Management and predict the impact of product changes on product designs, costs and stock across engineering and manufacturing.

Work faster, smarter and global with Bluestar PLM.

Your Benefits with Bluestar PLM system

One Single Source of Product Truth

A seamless flow of real-time information between CAD, PLM and ERP embedded in one system, relieves manual data entry saving you time and money.

Comply with Product Regulations

By storing and managing data on material declarations, chemicals and regulatory specifications in one single solution, you will be able to comply with international substance regulations.

Worldwide Collaboration

Collaborate efficiently across destributed multi-discipline engineering and manufacturing teams, as well as sub-suppliers and the extended enterprise.

Optimal data reuse

By streamlining the reuse of existing product data and files, you will achieve a faster time-to-market, save time and improve product quality.

3D Configuration/Variant Management

Generate 3D Models based on your product configurations, and easily manage product variants. Manage the configuration process in a single system.

Multi-CAD Collaboration

Engineers from all disciplines will be able to easily exchange incremental suggestions for changes throughout the entire development process. This increases multi-domain collaboration.

Optimal data reuse

By streamlining the reuse of existing product data and files, you will achieve a faster time-to-market, save time and improve product quality.

Transparent and Fast Change Cycles

Integrated engineering change management, making the design impact and impact on logistics, manufacturing and cost feasibility of engineering changes fully visible, before they are implemented.

End-to-end Business Process Automation

All your business processes can be fully mapped, monitored and executed from start to finish by bringing together Sales, Engineering, Purchasing, Manufacturing, and Service.


Standard Bluestar Functions

Product

Tracks revisions of D365/AX items and their related drawings, 3D models, routes and technical documentation for optimum traceability.

Manage 150% BOMs including all variants and from that configure 100% BOM that fits exact customer requirements. The Product Configuration add-on enables you to create, manage and maintain product variants and the associated data and documentation. As a result, you will gain an overview of the relations between variants and which designs they originated from.

Bluestar PLM operates with backwards compatible items, meaning that once an item is changed, the change is automatically propagated to all the structures which the item is part of. Consequently, designers saves the time usually spent on manual changes to the same item in multiple contexts while maintaining perfect data consistency.

A built in stamp engine it is able to automatically populate and maintain drawing titleblocks so that engineers can spend their time on innovation instead.

Enables the graphical comparison of BOM revisions in 3D or dimensional comparison of single part revisions.

Integration

Documents to approval processes running through end-to-end business processes. These are traced through workflows: designs going back and forth between customer and engineering – growing product requirements. Can be released to D365 – all project information accessible and centralized in AX. Templates saving the entire project structure for reuse.

The Print Suite add-on enables users to print all or selections of product specific documentation to PDF or hard print by utilizing BlueStar’s built in document management engine.

Enables the check-in and check-out of Office documents for greater control of your product related documentation.

System

Shared on-premises or cloud-based Azure data vault for holding the engineering data (CAD files, documents, etc.) and hosting the Bluestar services.

Leveraging bi-directional CAD-ERP integration, Bluestar PLM eliminates redundant data entry.

High user acceptance: Easy to learn, Microsoft Dynamics AX has a Microsoft user-interface that thousands of end users around the world already are familiar with and enjoy using.

Sharing

Enables collaboration between geographically dispersed engineering teams through intelligent file replication.

The Release management function enables users to release BOMs, sub-BOMs and parts from the PLM to one or more legal entities in a controlled manner. The integrated transaction stop flags allow the early-release of long lead items, minimizing the risk of product misplacement.

Being a part of Microsoft Dynamics 365 modules:

Improved control

Enables the check-in and check-out of office documents for greater control of your product related documentation.

Scailing with D365

Bluestar PLM scales with Dynamics 365 to support the needs of multinational manufactures being the obvious choice as eto solution.

Enterprise-wide collaboration

Collaborate efficiently across destributed multi-discipline engineering and manufacturing teams, as well as sub-suppliers and the extended enterprise.

Optimal data reuse

By streamlining the reuse of existing product data and files, you will achieve a faster time-to-market, save time and improve product quality.

One user interface and a single system to maintain

Leverages the familiar user interface of Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM, with a single system to maintain instead of separate PLM and ERP systems. Having a single interface facilitates user adoption.

Easy installment & maintainment

Being a part of Microsoft Dynamics modules enables Bluestar PLM to be easility installes, modified and maintaned.
