Press releaseIssued by iBase-t.

iBASEt announced today that Textron Systems Unmanned Systems, a Textron Inc. business will implement iBASEt's Solumina software as their Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Supplier Quality Assurance (SQA) solution. Textron Systems plans to implement Solumina at its Unmanned Systems plant in Hunt Valley, Maryland.

“We selected iBASEt because of their experience in managing the complex processes involved in manufacturing highly engineered products,” says Todd Kackley, Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Textron Systems. “We carefully evaluated our options and determined that Solumina's total cost of ownership, out of the box capabilities and rapid deployment can accelerate our return on investment.”

Solumina will automate the management of Bills of Materials (BOM) and Engineering Change Orders (ECO), as well as provide real-time visibility of production and quality processes on the shop floor.

“We recognize the trust Textron Systems has placed in not just iBASEt's software, but also in our team of manufacturing experts,” says Vic Sial, President at iBASEt. “We're happy to add Textron Systems Unmanned Systems as a customer.”
