Customer Success Story
Rotork
Established in 1957, global manufacturing company Rotork operates in a wide variety of markets including oil and gas, water and sewerage and marine operations. Over the last decade, the company has experienced remarkable growth and today has over 4,000 employees spread across the globe.
Background
Increasing efficiency in engineering change.
Historically the Rotork‘s employees were located across a few major sites, with the engineering and operations teams co-located at the factories that manufactured the products they were working on. With this structure in place it was easy to implement manual controls over engineering data as colleagues sat together and there was a lot of face-to-face communication.
However, as Rotork initiated 16 acquisitions, engineering teams became spread across many sites and the company needed better tools to control the data being created and maintained.
They recognised that it was necessary to implement a product lifecycle management (PLM) system and turned to Bluestar PLM. So far Rotork has designed and built its engineering control system inside the Dynamics 365 F&SCM/AX template for all factories.
Results
We realised that we had a unique opportunity to implement ERP and PLM together to integrate the way we manage all of our product data. We would not get this chance again, and so we looked for a PLM solution that worked inside Dynamics 365 F&SCM. Microsoft independent software vendor Bluestar PLM was the only company that could deliver this capacity.
