Aras®, a leader in enterprise Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, announced the release of Aras Flow, an integrated mobile tablet app for Aras Innovator 11. For the first time in PLM, change workflows are combined with discussion commenting, visualization and markup in a tablet format. With Aras Flow, teams from engineering, operations, quality and the supply chain can communicate on-the-go to make decisions quickly and keep new product initiatives moving.
Aras Flow provides mobile access to “my work right now” in PLM. When in meetings, on the factory floor, traveling to suppliers or visiting customers, people are able to securely participate in discussions about product designs, view drawings, redline models, and sign-off on changes.
“Aras Flow mobile-enables key aspects of PLM by combining review & approval with our new visual collaboration capabilities,” said Peter Schroer, President of Aras. “Whether you’re in a prototype lab or out in the field, Aras Flow provides mobile-specific capabilities that can help you describe product issues more accurately such as taking a picture and sketching notes, capturing a video or recording audio which can be added to a discussion.”
