Aras Enables Digital Thread for Visual Tech Manufacturer EIZO

Aras reports that EIZO, a visual technology company that develops and manufactures high-end visual solutions, is using Aras Innovator to create a digital thread between development and manufacturing. As a result, EIZO will be able to track products and their digital assets across the entire product lifecycle.

EIZO's integrated approach to planning, development, production and quality control is the foundation for its success. 

EIZO selected Aras Innovator as its new product lifecycle management (PLM) solution, in large part because it offered: 

• Open and Adaptable: Aras Innovator offers an open platform, which enables users to expand functionality. Users can adapt as needed and evolve over time.
• Seamless implementation: EIZO was able to transition from its old system to Aras smoothly, without impacting business operations or causing friction for employees. 
• Consolidated and streamlined workflows: EIZO can now fully track products and their digital assets from concept stage through design, manufacturing, proof-of-concept and service, providing visibility across the entire product lifecycle. 
• A clearly defined subscription model: Aras Innovator subscriptions are based on the actual number of users. Having a defined structure makes it easier for EIZO to project costs.

"Aras Innovator is working exactly as we originally envisioned, right down to the ease of linking data together and referencing links," says Ryosuke Koizumi, IT platform development section manager, EIZO. "The way it enables data connectivity directly to machines to reflect product specs and requirements at the push of a button represents the ultimate digital thread, the ultimate mass customization."

“Companies like EIZO must have complete visibility across the entire product lifecycle," Masahiko Hisatsugo, president of Aras Japan, Aras, says. "One of the main reasons EIZO chose Aras Innovator was because of the overriding goal of creating a foundation for data exchange. They now have a complete flow of information from upstream and downstream in one place.”
