New CAD/ERP Link for Microsoft Dynamics AX
Today, PDM technology launched BlueStar CAD/ERP link - a bidirectional CAD/ERP data integration system available for Microsoft Dynamics AX and a range of leading mechanical CAD systems.
By the click of a button, BlueStar CAD/ERP link synchronizes CAD parts, assemblies and associated properties with items, BOMs and data in Microsoft Dynamics AX making manual re-keying of data between CAD and ERP redundant. You will save time helping you lower costs and lead time while freeing up otherwise unavailable human resources which can be leveraged in value-adding activities instead.
The solution also prints CAD drawings to PDF before exporting and storing them in Microsoft Dynamics AX which ensures that authorized personnel outside of the engineering department can easily access drawings that reflect the latest changes. This mitigates errors in production caused by outdated drawings and improves collaboration between engineering and production teams.
BlueStar CAD/ERP link is a light but powerful application which delivers the tight integration of CAD and ERP data that is needed in engineering-intense environments. The application therefore does not include other PLM functionality.
On that note, PDM technology offers favorable upgrade opportunities for users of BlueStar CAD/ERP link who wish to expand the solution to include PLM functionalities such as document management, engineering change management, workflow and more. Consequently, BlueStar CAD/ERP link is a future-proof solution which requires a limited initial investment.
Supported CAD systems includeAutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, Catia, Pro/E, Solid Edge and more...
