Solution overview
The ANEGIS PLM solution, integrated seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, enables ETO manufacturers to unify engineering, manufacturing, finance and customer service processes.
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) for ETO manufacturers
Access a single source of data for the whole business – CAD, ERP, PLM, and Office – that eliminates errors and data inconsistencies. All engineering and manufacturing change dependencies can be managed in a single solution.
With the ANEGIS PLM solution you can...
- Create, plan and implement product changes while taking into account all dependencies in sales, engineering, purchasing, and manufacturing
- Generate a list of how other product designs are affected by a product change
- Analyse the impact a product change has on routes and work-in-progress (sales orders, production orders, purchase orders, inventories, etc.)
- Mass replace or delete a part wherever it is used on other BOM
- Manage the entire configuration process from quotation through engineering and production in a single system
- Ensure that CAD and ERP data are always kept in sync with a two-way exchange of 2D/3D CAD file meta-data
- Map and execute business processes from start to finish – sales, engineering, purchasing and manufacturing – on a single platform
- Build custom QMS applications to meet specific quality related requirements without any coding
- Create best-practice workflow templates with a simple, graphical drag and drop design engine
Challenges
Modern products generate vast amounts of data, from design drawings to material specifications.
A PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) system centralizes this data, enabling efficient management, version control, and accessibility for the design team.
Multidisciplinary project teams need to collaborate effectively.
PLM facilitates communication, progress tracking, and synchronization of activities across departments such as design, production, and procurement.
Products evolve – design changes, material updates, or new customer requirements.
A PLM system allows for controlled implementation of changes, tracking their history, and analyzing their impact on the entire product lifecycle.
Products must meet legal requirements, industry standards, and quality benchmarks.
PLM enables strict monitoring of compliance and documentation of audit and certification processes.
PLM must work seamlessly with ERP, CAD, CAM, and MES systems.
Open interfaces and integrations allow for smooth data exchange between various systems, ensuring information consistency throughout the production process.
Advantages
PLM allows for the centralization and automation of product management processes, leading to increased efficiency and cost reduction.
PLM enables better tracking and management of design changes, which can lead to improved product quality.
PLM can support innovation by enabling better management of ideas and creative processes.
With better management and coordination, PLM can shorten the time it takes to bring a product to market.
Through better resource and process management, PLM can help a company reduce costs associated with product development.
PLM can help a company meet regulatory requirements by tracking and documenting all stages of the product development process.
