We’re looking forward to starting a new year. But for now, let’s take a look back at what’s happened in 2024 to make it an extraordinary year!
I’m filled with pride and excitement for what iBase-t accomplished and look forward to further acceleration of the growth and focus we’re providing the Aerospace & Defense (A&D) industry in its digital transformation. 2024 was a year marked by innovation, growth, and a relentless commitment to empowering our customers. At iBase-t, we’ve set the stage for our continued evolution, and I’m thrilled to recap some of our key milestones and achievements.
Pioneering Model-Based MES Functionality with Solumina MBE Advanced
One of our most groundbreaking announcements this year was the unveiling of Solumina MBE Advanced. The offering is the industry’s first model-based MES solution purpose-built for A&D manufacturers. This innovation represents a significant leap forward in enabling A&D manufacturers and MRO sustainment providers to:
- Empower front-line workers with intuitive 3D work instructions.
- Bridge the data gap between design engineering and manufacturing engineering
- Automate closed loop engineering change management for manufacturing
- Digitize production processes and workflows to globally scale production
- Improve supplier collaboration and interoperability for right first-time build
- Reduce millions of dollars in operational cost from poor quality and waste
- Increase capacity and scalability to increase throughput and burn down backlog
Solumina MBE Advanced has redefined how the A&D industry approaches Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) capabilities, solidifying our position as a leader in this space.
Elevating Operations with Solumina AI and Solumina Digital SME
This year also marked the unveiling of Solumina AI, a cutting-edge enhancement to our Manufacturing Operations platform. By integrating artificial intelligence, we cann help our customers achieve:
- Greater precision and adaptability of operations
- Unparalleled efficiency to perform the most complex manufacturing and sustainment processes
We also highlighted our strategy for Solumina Digital SME, an AI-enabled copilot designed to empower MES, Quality, and MRO Sustainment teams. By providing contextual guidance based on Solumina data, this innovation will help our customers make faster, more informed decisions, transforming how our platform delivers value.
