Operate like a well-oiled machine.
Ready to increase the efficiency and accuracy of your team. The first step is to centralize and control where and how all your product information is created, modified and accessed. Datastay for PLM provides all the tools you need to make it quick and simple to achieve this key objective of every product lifecycle management effort.
Centralize maintain and share all item attributes
It all starts with the Item Master. It is the collection of attributes that define each component, assembly and product that is stored in your PLM system. Datastay allows you to maintain an unlimited number of attributes about each of your items. These attributes can include anything from part codes, classes and descriptions to engineering details and images. They are all created, modified and shared in one place which ensures everyone on your team is always working from the same and correct information.
Automatically generate smart item numbers
Smart numbering systems provide important details about an item directly in it's item number or code. Whether you have already defined your own smart numbering system or wish to adopt one, Datastay can support you. Your part numbers can be generated automatically based on any criteria, including any of the attributes that define your Item.
Quickly find everything you need
Quickly finding the items you are looking for is very important to the efficiency of your team. Datastay allows you to search for an item by any of its attributes. Key in the criteria, hit search and you'll find all the items that match your needs. Select the desired item and you'll have everything that relates to it at your fingertips - including bill-of-material, where-used, related workflows, attachments and the item change log.
Validate all data to ensure it stays clean and accurate
Datastay allows you to apply validation rules to ensure that everyone enters 'clean' data. Whether you just want to make sure required attributes are entered or something more elaborate, it's extremely easy to do and will help you avoid problems from 'dirty' data down the road.
Quickly clone items and all associated details
Often times you may need to copy an item to start another line of development or simply to save the time of re-entering similar information. With Datastay you can quickly clone an item, along with any of the information related to it including bill-of-materials, attached files and any relationships to other items.
