The Next Chapter of Solumina
For years, Solumina has been the backbone of manufacturing execution for some of the world’s most complex aerospace and defense programs. The G-Series platform helped establish the standard for digital manufacturing — and now, iSeries takes everything you rely on and elevates it.
iSeries is not simply an upgrade. It is a re-imagined, modern platform built on a configurable Web UI, purpose-built AI capabilities, and full Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) support. It is where iBase-t is investing, innovating, and growing.
This page is designed to help you understand what you gain by moving — and what you leave behind by staying.
What You Get with iSeries
Every Day on G-Series is a Day Without a Secure, AI-native Manufacturing Solution
Solumina AI is iBase-t’s suite of purpose-built artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, embedded directly into the Solumina platform. It is designed for the complexity and compliance demands of aerospace and defense manufacturing.
With Solumina AI, your teams can benefit from:
- Predictive insights that surface quality risks before they become defects
- Anomaly detection across production operations
- AI-assisted decision-making that keeps operations moving without sacrificing traceability
- Intelligent automation that reduces manual effort while maintaining compliance
Important: Solumina AI is available exclusively to iSeries customers. G-Series customers do not have access to any AI capabilities within Solumina.
Where Your 3D Models Become Living Instructions
Legacy document-based MES architectures were not designed to meet the growing aerospace and defense requirements for Model-Based Enterprise (MBE), digital thread, and model-based execution. iSeries provides the cloud-native, model-centric foundation required to support digital work instructions, 3D model consumption, closed-loop traceability, and modern manufacturing workflows.
iSeries MBE capabilities include:
- Engineering and In-Process Model Integration — connect 3D models directly to your process plan/work order or directly to the operations, giving shop floor teams a focused, contextual view
- Components and PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) linked to part and parametric data collections — reducing manual interpretation and transcription errors
- Model Revision Impact Analysis — understand downstream effects when a new model revision arrives
- Model Initiated Actions — create discrepancies or holds directly from a component on the model
- Tri-lighting – One click connecting the model, the instructions, and the collection in the work order driving easy visual connection for your shop floor teams
Important: MBE functionality is available exclusively in iSeries. G-Series customers cannot connect model data to manufacturing operations within Solumina.
Modern by Design. Configurable by Default.
iSeries is built on a fully configurable Web UI — designed from the ground up based on real customer feedback. G-Series relied on a legacy Windows client that required installation, was difficult to configure, and limited your team’s flexibility.
The iSeries WebUI delivers:
- Browser-based access — no client installation required
- Configurable screens and workflows tailored to your roles and processes
- Faster navigation with more intuitive menus and new homepages
- Consistent experience across shopfloor, quality, and planning functions
- End-to-end discrepancy processing, process planning, and work order management — all in the Web UI
Every Release of iSeries Widens Your Technology & Efficiency Gap
Continuous innovation is driven by architecture. Built on a modern cloud-native, microservices-based foundation, iSeries enables iBase-t to deliver new capabilities faster and more efficiently than legacy platforms. As a result, every new Solumina release—from i130 onward—is developed for iSeries first, with many innovations available exclusively on iSeries.
Recent iSeries-only additions include:
- Regulatory Authority requirement document traceability for MRO
- Torque Tools Integration
- Image Markup for work orders
- Material Out Time Tracking (MOTT) for composite materials
- Advanced EQMS enhancements including group-based auto-assignment and rework order improvements
- Architecture upgrades including Java 21, SAML/SSO modernization, and SHA-384 certificate support
Modern, modular, and integrative platform delivering across your enterprise and extended value chain
Solumina iSeries is the latest generation of iBase-t’s Manufacturing Operations Management platform, built on a microservices architecture that enables cloud, on‑premises, or hybrid deployments.
- Microservices Architecture: Modular, service‑oriented design allows independent scaling, deployment, and updates of components without affecting the entire system.
- Open APIs: Facilitates integration with engineering, ERP, quality, and IoT systems, enabling a unified digital ecosystem.
- Cloud‑Native: Supports AWS SaaS deployment via AWS Marketplace, with AWS CloudFormation Quick Start templates for automated provisioning.
- Zero‑Customization Ready: iSeries is built on configurable standard features, reducing the need for heavy custom code and making upgrades and maintenance easier.
