Aras today announced that Carlisle Brake & Friction, a leading provider for high performance and severe duty brake, clutch and transmission applications, has selected the Aras PLM platform to streamline and improve processes across the extended enterprise.
Working with Aras gold certified partner Razorleaf, Carlisle Brake & Friction selected Aras PLM for the platform’s flexibility and extensive out-of-the-box best practice solutions. Integrating to Creo CAD and QAD ERP systems, Aras Innovator will unify Carlisle’s ITAR compliance, engineering processes, parts management, BOM management, change management, and auditing at 11 manufacturing and purchasing facilities worldwide.
“We must comply with ITAR regulations concerning access to and export of certain parts with military uses,” said Isaiah Kincaid, Senior Computer Electronics Engineer at Carlisle. “Aras PLM gives all our sites instant role-based security and ensures people can only select parts that fall within ITAR standards.”
Having extensive experience with Microsoft products, Carlisle’s IT staff was drawn to Aras Innovator’s application framework, which is implemented on Microsoft .NET and SQL Server platforms. Aras Innovator was able to demonstrate much faster implementation times than competing PLM platforms.
“Carlisle Brake & Friction has provided OEMs with advanced, high-performance products for over 60 years,” said Peter Schroer, CEO of Aras. “We are excited to serve as their backbone for global process improvement and product compliance.”
