IWT Selects Aras Innovator Platform

Aras announced that IWT has selected the Aras Innovator platform to manage all manufacturing requirements through a unified workflow. With the Aras PLM platform, IWT will manufacture 45 customized models and manage multiple projects for customers that are fully customized to their specific needs.

When IWT was forced to pivot due to the pandemic, the company was able to make its engineering change order (ECO) release process completely paperless, which enabled those working remotely to continue without interruption. Aras Innovator has been adopted by 80 percent of IWT’s employees and has provided a streamlined approach that enables IWT to process 25,000 parts in a single year with additional product data, increased flexibility, and no increase in workload.

Additional benefits IWT has already realized with Aras include:

  • Design activities and production engineering reached normal operations within four weeks of going live.
  • ECO state is now constantly monitored, and release priorities are managed based on the business needs, eliminating delays due to poor planning of ECO priorities.
  • Revisions to inconsistent data have been almost completely eliminated.
