Achieve faster time-to-market by removing data silos

To outpace the competition, manufacturers must quickly bring high-quality products to market. This is often hindered by poor integration and collaboration between engineering and manufacturing teams working across different systems.

STAEDEAN's PLM integration for Dynamics 365 ensures seamless integration, enabling cross-functional collaboration and real-time data sharing with a single source of truth for efficient production.

Our PLM Integration Framework connects any PLM/PDM system with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management. It's a proven solution compatible with systems like 3DX Dassault, Oracle Agile, Ansys, and Vault. We also offer out-of-the-box base templates to accelerate Siemens Teamcenter and PTC Windchill integration time.

 

Key Challenges

Time to market
Disconnected PLM and ERP systems lead to difficulties staying updated on product revisions, release processes, routing, and more. The knock-on effect is poor coordination, delays in manufacturing, and ultimately revenue loss.
Disconnected cross-functional communication
A lack of access to unified data creates communication gaps, which can lead to incomplete, outdated, or incorrect product specifications. This disconnect affects Product Engineers and Production Leads and could ultimately halt production or create rework and returns.
Inconsistent PLM data management
Integrating PLM data without suitable validation can compromise data integrity, directly affecting product quality and production runs. Furthermore, due to a lack of master data management, you may experience scattered and duplicate data across the ERP.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can't find what you're looking for?

    PLM or ERP - which one should you implement first?

    It makes sense to build and implement both systems simultaneously, as it ensures the integration is done specifically to suit your business needs. For details, readWhich comes first—PLM or ERP? 

    Is ECM a prerequisite for PLM Integration?

    Yes, engineering change management (ECM) is the basis of PLM integration. ECM manages product/version changes, and variances on bills-of-material, routings, and inventory. To yield great results, Engineering Change Management should first be implemented in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 system.

    I have a messy PLM System - Can I connect to ERP?

    Yes, you can, provided your engineering data quality is good. In case of poor quality, data needs to be manually corrected in the ERP system, which can slow down the process and significantly increase the implementation time.

    What's the implementation time for PLM integration?

    The PLM integration for Dynamics 365 can be implemented in less than a week once governance, responsibility, and data ownership are defined by engineering and manufacturing functions.

    Does STAEDEAN provide PLM Integration only with Microsoft Dynamics?

    Yes, we provide PLM integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain, AX, and Dynamics 365 Business Central.
