Aras, which provides the most powerful low-code application platform to design, build and operate complex products, announced today that Kyocera Unimerco is using Aras Innovator to manage data, information, and business processes for product lifecycle management (PLM).
Kyocera Unimerco, headquartered in Denmark, supports global sales with manufacturing facilities in Denmark, the UK, the USA and Lithuania. Full visibility and traceability of product data is essential to managing the manufacturing and supply chain operations supporting their diverse line of precision cutting tools for metalworking, woodworking, and composite materials. As the company moved to modernize manufacturing and software infrastructure, they recognized the need to evaluate new approaches to managing its product lifecycle management program.
Kyocera evaluated new PLM software solutions that would enable easier change management, reduce the amount of time spent on the product review process, and decrease the number of errors in document collaboration and management processes. After reviewing different options, the company selected the Aras Innovator platform to better support version control, traceability and engineering change management and has benefitted from:
- Increased efficiency in product-related business processes
- Improved access to data, documentation, and product information for all stakeholders
