Aeronamic Selects Aras PLM and Minerva as Implementation Partner for Precision Manufacturing

Aras Provides Global Aerospace Company with Closed Loop, Single System for APQP, CAPA, FMEA and more.

Andover, MA, October 04, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Aras®, the leading enterprise open source Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software solution provider, today announced that Aeronamic, a global provider of complex sub-systems for the aerospace industry, headquartered in The Netherlands, has selected Aras PLM for precision manufacturing management. Aeronamic’s implementation of Aras includes all of the information required to manufacture a part, including new product introduction, APQP, CAPA, FMEA and control plans, documentation and project management, in a single system.

Key drivers in Aeronamic’s selection were speed of implementation, breadth of functionality and cost effectiveness. “Aras provided more functionality at less than 50% of the cost of another leading PLM system,” explained Steffen de Vries, CEO at Aeronamic. “Minerva demonstrated how Aras supports APQP and FMEA. Other PLM companies couldn’t demonstrate how they would do that,” said Steffen De Vries. “With Aras and Minerva, our team could see how the solution mapped to our business challenges.”

Aeronamic is a leader in high-tech innovation in the aerospace industry, supplying systems, assemblies and parts for commercial and military aircraft, and spin-stabilized satellites. Headquartered in The Netherlands, Aeronamic is a member of the Green Systems for Aircraft Foundation (GSAF) and is working to develop the next generation electronic architecture of future green aircraft.

“Aeronamic produces complex systems that must meet the exacting standards of the global aerospace industry,” said Peter Schroer, President of Aras. “Aras was able to provide a single, closed loop manufacturing solution that met their stringent quality, compliance and regulatory requirements, and provided more functionality and flexibility at a price far below competitive offerings.”

“It is a pleasure to see the change in the market, as more and more companies have started questioning product capabilities and the huge costs associated with implementing traditional PLM products. Fancy slides are no longer enough,” explained Leon Lauritsen, Director at Minerva. “Companies looking to go beyond PDM are selecting Aras, and this includes companies who have already made large investments in alternative PLM systems,” said Lauritsen.
