Nonin Medical Inc – Rick Trask Bluestar PLM What is it? What does it do? Myths
Bluestar is Product Lifecycle Management Software
It works with Dynamics AX True ISV as it is embedded . . . CRM Item Master Bluestar BOM MRP II A/R A/P . . . Dynamics AX
BlueStar is even more… A single Vault that will work with… Creo/ProE SolidWorks AutoCAD Altium Word Excel Adobe Illustrator / Fox-It And everything used to document designs, test results, manuals, etc. Data (CNC code)
A tool for Engineers to interface with AX Part numbers Bills of material Costed bills of material Items in stock Where Used
Mechanical Engineers can do more Pull part numbers Automatic revision control Organize docs by project Create workspaces and Projects Search engine is powerful Update Bills of Material prior to release Easily view drawings and Bills of Material Electronic ECOs for review and approval
Configuration Management can do more Check in/Check out capabilities Bill of Material work in development Automated PDF creation Effectivity date control for parts to plan inventory scrap/usage Communication of changes to avoid duplicate work Document/Bill of Material review at your fingertips Manage the product (item) then release into AX from Bluestar
Myths from Engineering regarding their needs Bluestar doesn’t work with Creo – it won’t work for you It’s only a tool for the Mechanical Engineers You can only use it if you intend to release drawings, assemblies, documents, etc. Submitting drawing to vendors is more difficult
Searching Made Easy
Reporting Made Easy Audit Trails ERP Reporting
Single version for product status Design Status Revised Status Approved Status
Solution Overview Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Electronic Signature capability meeting FDA requirements Manage documents with a secure Vault CAD file management tools; PRO-E, AutoCAD & SolidWorks Check in/out process and versioning Configured product release process controls Capability to know where all components are used Bill of Material Management (BOM)
Bluestar PLM Next steps Engineering Changes Electronic Signatures Redlining of documents
Nonin Go-live Migration Process Dynamics AX production environment and Bluestar released on 12/15/2015
KEY BENEFITS SEEN BY NONIN Improved collaboration between engineering & manufacturing teams Improved data & drawing integrity eliminated duplicate data and drawings Data transparency All users see the same content and version Increased engineering productivity Everything in place (Vault)
