[April 2015] CuroGens Inc., a Microsoft partner and global systems integrator, announced today the release of CuroGens PLMbridge for Microsoft Dynamics® AX. This integration solution bridges the information gap between the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system of a manufacturing company and its ERP platform. The business solution allows an OEM to easily exchange Bills of Material (BOM) data between its PLM application and Dynamics in order to better manage the BOM, reduce risk of errors associated with manual data entry and make the discrete manufacturing process efficient and repeatable.
“We often see OEMs implementing complex PLM solutions used by engineers that don’t communicate directly with their ERP system,” said Jesper Kehlet, CEO of CuroGens. “We want to equip OEMs with an easily managed, comprehensive solution that enhances an OEM executive’s control over the flow of data between engineering and operations in order to make more informed business decisions. PLMbridge increases efficiencies, reduces redundancies and provides an accurate, data-based foundation for effective product management.”
Integration of PLMbridge with an existing PLM solution, such as SolidWorks, is easily configured with Microsoft Dynamics AX. Once installed, OEMs can simply export data from their PLM system into Dynamics. The PLMbridge will then recognize future BOM alterations and seamlessly track and generate revised BOMs as necessary in AX.
PLMbridge integrates vital manufacturing and business information thereby giving OEMs the ability to:
- Eliminate potential errors or delays in production associated with manual data entry of PLM data into an ERP system
- Better allocate resources by eliminating manual and redundant data entry
- Efficiently manage engineering BOM revisions to make production manageable and repeatable
- Centralize PLM records (engineering, manufacturing, production, inventory, purchasing, packaging) within an ERP system to share data and best practices across multiple business units
- Prevent extra work for operations, engineering, manufacturing and purchasing by having a complete and accurate BOM at all times
- Solve problems and reduce errors or compliance issues as data is managed easily from within the familiar
Microsoft Dynamics AX platform - Ensure accurate information is accessible to make critical product decisions and decrease time to market
