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 BOM MRP II A/R A/P. . . Dynamics AX Bluestar

Blue. Star is even more… A single Vault that will work with… Creo/Pro. E Solid. Works Auto. CAD 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
