Lake Forest, Calif., April 30, 1999 -- iBASEt, a leading supplier of paperless manufacturing execution systems (pMES), will join the Air Transport Association to highlight its Solumina™ shop floor software at the engineering forum held May 2-4 in Memphis, TN.  In conjunction with the manufacturing and supplier communities, airline executives will review the challenges facing aviation engineering including proposed legislation, Y2K preparedness, and will outline growth expectations for the turn of the century.

 "The two biggest concerns an airline faces on the shop floor relate to reducing the amount of time on service calls and meeting safety regulations," said Phil Davis, President and COO of iBASEt.  "When an airplane comes in for routine service such as a "C" check, there is no way of knowing how long that plane will sit idle costing the company hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, while parts are repaired or replaced.  A software solution such as Solumina, offers maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations an electronic method of delivering information that significantly speeds up this critical maintenance process and provides a precise historical record through an as-maintained database."

 At the ATA show, Booth #302, iBASEt will demonstrate the functionality that has helped both manufacturing and MRO organizations such as The Boeing Company successfully create paperless factory environments and as a result, increase turnaround time as well as productivity and realize significant cost savings.

 Solumina is a complete manufacturing software suite for discrete, complex organizations including aerospace and defense, industrial equipment, and MRO.  Applications include process planning, work instructions delivery, MRO, quality assurance, a CAD viewer, and a graphical dispatch manager.  These powerful modules eliminate one of the shop floor's most time-consuming and costly limitations -- paper.  Solumina provides a paperless environment for creating, delivering, revising and tracking work orders, multimedia instructions, work specifications and quality assurance and has been referred to as the "next industrial revolution."

 iBASEt, founded in 1986 as TSI, is a leading provider of high-tech software solutions and services.  iBASEt has pioneered the first image-based work instruction system in the complex assembly, aerospace and MRO markets today.  By making the shop floor paperless, users report that iBASEt's pMES solution has significantly improved productivity, increased throughput, and provided cost savings in the millions of dollars per year.
