As a company in the infrastructure industry, you might face the challenge of managing complex projects while ensuring compliance with strict regulatory standards. This requires seamless coordination between engineering, construction, and operations, all while adhering to safety, environmental, and technical specifications.

To remain competitive, infrastructure companies must integrate information and processes not only across internal departments but also with external partners and contractors. When IT systems are disconnected, critical information flow can be disrupted, leading to project delays, budget overruns, and inefficiencies in change management. These industry challenges are compounded by the need for deeper integration between design and execution phases.

With Bluestar PLM, you can streamline your workflows by creating a single source of truth that connects your entire project lifecycle—from design to construction and beyond. This real-time visibility ensures all stakeholders have access to the most up-to-date data, improving collaboration and project delivery.

“Errors resulting from our bill of materials have reduced from 60% to below 10%, production line efficiency has increased by 15%.“
– Joe Stich, Supply Chain Director, Rayloc/GPC

Challenges of a non-embedded PLM and ERP system

  • Manual data synchronization between the ERP, PLM and CAD systems can cause data misalignments.

  • Reusing data is challenging due to time-consuming manual data transfers.

  • Missing visibility in end-to-end business processes leads to non-value-added work time.

  • Order fulfillments are delayed by bottlenecks causing operational performance to suffer.

  • Sharing engineering data between different sites can be troublesome without a common data management system.

Your benefits with Bluestar PLM

A single source of product truth

Embedding PLM in ERP ensures reliable product data access across departments and locations, reducing errors and enabling accurate, informed business decisions.

Design automation

Automatically generate 3D CAD-models and detailed drawings based on product variants and configurations. As a result, you will save hundreds of hours otherwise spent on design processes.

Worldwide collaboration

Centralizes product data in a global repository, enabling distributed engineering and manufacturing teams to collaborate and share data across the organization.

Better quality products

Allows you to standardize your business processes to easily repeat them over and over. This makes it much easier to optimize your predefined product configurations, for optimal end product.

Simplified IT structure

The ERP-based PLM integration simplifies IT, reduces PLM maintenance and ownership costs, and enhances user adoption with a unified Dynamics 365 F&SCM interface.

Reduced costs

With largely automated business processes and product standardizations, optimized processes are obviously cheaper than developing a new process or product that is only ever used once.

More innovation

The time you save with standardized business processes and configured products can be used to optimize existing processes and new product developments.

Fewer mistakes

Repetition of processes means more routine in execution. Potential errors are prevented and production is streamlined.

Out-of-the-box building blocks

eBOM+mBOM

One single solution for smart management of data in both eBOM and mBOM.

After-Sales Redesign & Repair
