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 offers guided workflows, streamlines data movement, enhances collaboration, and ensures real-time data sharing—all within a single source of truth for efficient production. 

Our flexible PLM Integration Framework connects any PLM, PDM, or CAD system with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management. We provide ready-to-use templates for Siemens Teamcenter and PTC Windchill, along with compatibility for systems like 3DX Dassault, Oracle Agile, Ansys, and Vault. It's a proven, scalable solution that ensures data quality, validation, and ownership. 

Key Challenges

Prolonged 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. 
Revenue loss and production rework
Scattered data creates communication gaps, which can lead to incomplete, outdated, or incorrect product specifications.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, low-quality data management
Integrating PLM and ERP data without suitable validation compromises data integrity, directly affecting product quality, production runs, and revenue. Additionally, poor master data management leads to scattered and duplicate data across the ERP.

    What kind of data can I integrate with the PLM integration for Dynamics 365?

    Our solution provides a bidirectional integration between any PLM, PDM, or CAD system and Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM. This ensures smooth two-way data exchange, preserving master data integrity. 

    With support for modern connectors like flat files, XML, Azure Blob Storage, file shares, and web services, our integration offers unmatched flexibility. You can efficiently transfer key data from PLM to ERP, such as BOMs, part data, product statuses, engineering documents, and attributes. Data movement from ERP to PLM includes on-hand inventory, vendor details, engineering versions, and transactions, keeping both systems in sync.  

    Can I treat data that comes from the PLM system differently when in ERP? (selected use of change management)

    Yes, you can treat PLM data differently in the ERP. With our ‘change management’ functionality, you can control and manage PLM and ERP data based on your requirements. 

    Is ECM a prerequisite for PLM Integration for Dynamics 365?

    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 as little as 3 weeks once governance, responsibility, and data ownership are defined by engineering and manufacturing functions.

    How do I select a PLM integration for my business?

     

     

     

     

    The right PLM integration for Dynamics 365 is crucial to avoid costly rework. Learn the factors to consider when selecting PLM integration, from gap analysis to calculating ROI, in our comprehensive guide.
