Lake Forest, Calif., May 28, 1999-- iBASEt, a leading supplier of paperless manufacturing execution systems (pMES), will highlight new web-based functionality in their Solumina™ software at the Society of Aerospace Engineers (SAE) trade show in Seattle, Washington June 8 - 10.  iBASEt joins a network of American, European and Asian aerospace manufacturing professionals who will work together to build the 21 st century global manufacturing enterprise.  At Booth #509, iBASEt will demonstrate how Solumina provides critical management reports over the Internet.

 "This conference provides a forum where manufacturing engineers, managers, and executives can collaborate on solutions to problems facing the aerospace industry today and in the future," said Phil Davis, COO and President of iBASEt.  "We see the need for a paperless environment on the shop floor continuing to grow–not just in the United States, but also internationally.  In fact, we've just hired a European Sales Manager to meet that increasing demand."

Davis continued, "More complex manufacturing companies are realizing significant benefits from Solumina including increased productivity, throughput and cost savings.  And, we continue to add functionality that will thoroughly integrate the shop floor such as distributed numeric control, statistical process control, web-based reporting, and email.  With Solumina's ability to interface with existing enterprise systems, manufacturers can no longer afford to ignore the shop floor."

Solumina is a complete manufacturing software suite for discrete, complex organizations including aerospace and defense, industrial equipment, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (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 manufacturing's most time-consuming and costly limitations on the shop floor--paper.  Solumina provides a paperless environment for creating, delivering, revising and tracking work orders, multimedia instructions, work specifications and quality assurance documents 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 pioneered the first image-based work instruction system in the complex assembly, aerospace and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) markets.   Users report that by making the shop floor paperless, iBASEt's pMES solution has significantly improved productivity, increased throughput, and provided cost savings in the millions of dollars per year.
