Major Enhancements. iBASEt continues to provide more ease of use features for the shop operator. The multimedia authoring tools have been further integrated making it easy to create animated slide shows that incorporate 3D models or videos that stop to display instructions and prompt for data. Operations requiring multiple data entry will benefit from the Input Matrix that provides a spreadsheet look and feel. Some of the other highlights of this release include configurable speed bar buttons for frequently used commands, enhanced filter and multi-select functionality and expanded graph types.

General Dynamics Decision Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) based in Scottsdale, Arizona uses Solumina from iBASEt in its factory operations.

Michel Gadbois, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at iBASEt, said, "General Dynamics is upgrading to Solumina G4 because it will allow them not only to more effectively control and track the manufacturing processes to ensure product quality, but also to more efficiently capture and document product history. Many of the new features, in response to their requests, should enable them to further improve factory efficiencies and pursue a business strategy supporting paperless processes."

Gadbois continued, "Solumina is the only MES solution that supports the Engineering needs of newer programs that use 3D models and animations, and also supports older programs with 2D CAD files or scanned in blueprints. With Solumina you can produce simple text instructions, text enhanced with images, or sophisticated animated interactive instructions depending on the requirements of each job while leveraging available Engineering documents through bookmarks and markup."
