BMZ Germany GmbH, a prominent global manufacturer of rechargeable battery systems, has significantly enhanced its engineering and production efficiency through the integration of Bluestar PLM. The adoption of Bluestar PLM has standardized BMZ’s processes, improved product quality and reliability, ensured secure documentation, and provided seamless data management.
Background
BMZ Germany GmbH is a a leading global manufacturer of rechargeable battery systems who began to search for a robust and integrated PLM system to streamline its engineering and production processes in 2016/2017. Their need was clear: a solution that could fully integrate as an add-on within the Microsoft Dynamics F&SCM, providing seamless connectivity and functionality across their engineering and production departments.
BMZ chose Bluestar PLM for its comprehensive integration capabilities with Microsoft Dynamics F&SCM – This integration ensured that BMZ’s engineering and production workflows were unified under a single system, streamlining processes and enhancing data management.
A global rollout of Bluestar PLM is expected to further unify BMZ’s processes and data management practices, leading to consistent quality across all production sites. Since implementing Bluestar PLM, BMZ has experienced numerous benefits, including seamless integration between ERP and CAD applications, time savings, resource optimization, improved data quality, and reduced duplication.
Results
The integration allows for faster data retrieval, direct conversion of 3D data into usable BOMs, and the reuse of data, which facilitates parallel development and benefits for end products. Also, data transparency across departments and development sites has improved significantly, supporting BMZ’s efforts to maintain high standards of quality and efficiency across their operations.
