What Customers Are Saying
“Dramatic improvement to manufacturing, quality control, and risk mitigation. Solumina manages inputs and outputs efficiently while providing very fast access to records.”
Advanced Atomization Technologies
“The solution itself is wonderful. I’d highly recommend it to any business seeking electronic work instructions. It allows the user to custom build different apps from quality management to supplier quality as well as auditing. Easy to use for manufacturing and the user interface is incredible.”
Northrop Grumman
“Solumina is easy to use, both from the user side and the engineering development side. It was a great selling factor during our audits with the FAA.”
Honda Aero, Inc.
“Our company has been a long time iBASEt customer. Solumina is used at our location to run the shop floor. Operations would not be able to make product without it. It is our lifeblood.”
Orbital ATK
“This is a very powerful tool that is especially impressive when considering we didn’t have to do any configurations for the primary implementation. That not only speeds time-to-value, it keeps the costs down.”
Virgin Orbit
“We carefully evaluated our options and determined Solumina’s total cost of ownership, out of the box capabilities, and rapid deployment can accelerate our return on investment.”
Textron Systems
“The iBASEt Solumina suite enables full shop floor to top floor manufacturing visibility, consistent practices, and continuous product and process improvement.”
Manufacturing Technology Insights Magazine
“Solumina has greatly increased our ability to process information through our build and inspection system… [reducing] our build cycle time and improved our communication with the FAA regarding test article configuration.”
Cirrus Aircraft
“Solumina utilizes built-in industry best practices that help us streamline our manufacturing process, creating more efficient and compliant operations internally and at our supplier sites.”
Cirrus Aircraft
“Integrated quality…is absolutely one of the biggest benefits of Solumina. Having integrated non-conformance and corrective action in your manufacturing process is huge…We are catching the issues when they happen. Solumina is forcing the [corrective action] discipline…”
Orbital ATK
