Customer Success Story
Amplifier Research – integrating separate PLM and ERP systems
Formed in 1969 in the US, Amplifier Research (AR) supplies radio frequency (RF) products and compliance testing solutions to operators in the automotive, medical, military, aerospace and telecommunication industries across the world.
Background
Formed in 1969 in the US, Amplifier Research (AR) supplies radio frequency (RF) products and compliance testing solutions to operators in the automotive, medical, military, aerospace and telecommunication industries across the world. Today, the company comprises of three divisions including AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation, AR Modular RF and AR Receiver Systems.
To standardize operational processes, reduce data errors and automate workflows across the RF/Microwave Instrumentation division, AR wanted to integrate its separate product lifecycle management (PLM) and enterprise resource management (ERP) systems. With separate PLM and ERP, data was inconsistent.
AR turned to Bluestar PLM to provide its engineering, manufacturing and purchasing departments with a single set of version-controlled product data from one centralized system. Deployed over six months, Bluestar PLM has standardized AR’s IT systems, boosted operational efficiency and eliminated redundant data entry across its CAD, PLM and ERP systems. This has provided AR with the tools for core product data management, and the company is so satisfied with the solution that it plans to extend Bluestar PLM to improve its engineering change notification (ECN) management processes.
Results
- Integration of separate PLM and ERP system
- Seamless data-flow
- One system to assure accuracy and efficiency
- Version management: Immediate access to accurate data from global departments
- Error reduction
- Reduce IT maintenance
- Improve Engineering change notification processes
“One of the primary reasons for choosing Bluestar PLM was that it is fully embedded in Dynamics AX and that it allows our engineering and manufacturing teams to automatically exchange designs and 3D models using various CAD systems.”
– Jeannie Suelke, Vice President of IT and Accounting, Amplifier Research (AR)
