Aras Innovator SaaS is an open and adaptable platform for deploying PLM and digital thread solutions. Aras’ configurable application approach and low-code development tools provide the flexibility that allows organizations like JM to adapt their PLM solution to meet the specific needs of their unique business processes. Aras establishes a data backbone that integrates with the broader enterprise application ecosystem to form a digital thread facilitating collaboration and data sharing.
Roque Martin, CEO of Aras, said: “We are proud to be supporting Johnson Matthey on the company’s vision to catalyze the net-zero transition. Shifting from being document-centric to data-centric is fundamental to gaining benefit from the adoption of digital technologies across engineering and manufacturing. We look forward to helping Johnson Matthey gain better leverage from data and the benefits of digital transformation.”
Isabel Tingay, Transformation Program Leader at JM said: "The key factors in our decision to go with Aras were the adaptability of its platform, the maturity of the SaaS solution, and the company’s understanding of our specific business challenges. Combining our data sets into a single source, from chemical formulation to build of materials, will enable improved collaboration and efficiency as we develop sustainable solutions for our customers.”
