Digital Enterprise Leadership Award Winners:
Solar Turbines
Pursuit of Innovation
Solar Turbines was one of iBase-t’s first customers in the heavy equipment industry, and immediately took on an aggressive project of bringing three companies together by connecting their PTC PLM platform with iBase-t’s Solumina MES. Throughout the project, every member of the Solar Turbines team served as a great partner—from project management, to testing, coding and product development, proving themselves to be true champions.
Pratt & Whitney
Broadest Adoption
Pratt & Whitney took on the bold task of broadly implementing iBase-t solutions throughout their sites, bringing disparate processes together. Although the project and implementation has changed ownership throughout the process, Pratt & Whitney has used dedication and perseverance to expand their footprint. The company was also the first to deploy iBase-t’s Solumina as a cloud-based solution.
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company
Speed of Deployment
In only three months, Lockheed Martin went live with iBase-t’s MRO solution and Offline capabilities to manage the maintenance of one of their largest and most important programs, the F-35. Throughout these three months, the company displayed skill, dedication and trust—and highlighted the benefits of a strong partnership between vendor and customer.
Textron Systems
Business Transformation
Textron Systems is relentless in their drive to succeed. The company continues to onboard iBase-t Digital Manufacturing solutions across multiple divisions while always learning and applying lessons learned to the next divisions’ roll-out. Textron Systems is a true example of tenacity and ambition.
Parker Hannifin
Outstanding G8 Upgrade
An enterprise system upgrade can be challenging, but by developing a dedicated team with in-depth knowledge, Parker Hannifin was able to upgrade five divisions from iBase-t’s G7 to G8 with minimal support from iBase-t. The company created an extensive guide that defined the processes, validation steps, check lists, and high-level overviews for the upgrade. The company’s attention to detail and drive ensured the upgrade was a success.
