Aras® today announced that the Japan Steel Works, Ltd. (JSW), a global industrial machinery manufacturer, selected the Aras Innovator® platform to improve product data management. JSW will better manage 3D product data to ensure interoperability and efficiency for the engineering and manufacturing of plastic production and processing machinery as the mainline of their industrial machinery products.
JSW selected Aras Innovator to achieve the following:
- Ensure that accurate, up-to-date information can be viewed by all users during design reviews, engineering changes, defect investigations, and other processes.
- Provide integrated access to product data.
- Better control costs due to availability of the platform via subscription pricing.
The Aras PLM Platform will be implemented as an iCAD data management system to streamline the design and improve the quality of data management and will replace previous use of Windows folders for data management.
JSW initially worked with DIGITAL PROCESS LTD. (DIPRO) to assess the most effective approach to manage iCAD data. DIPRO applied their expertise in engineering to the project, drawing on their knowledge of technologies related to PDM/PLM.
“The Aras platform offers JSW powerful data management capabilities to ensure that engineers are accessing the correct information, helping to avoid errors and eliminate delays,” says Peter Schroer, Founder and CEO of Aras. “Japan Steel Works has made an important step in improving the overall effectiveness of their product development process.”
