By DE Editors

Aras, an enterprise open source product lifecycle management (PLM) software solution provider, has announced that Fox Electronics, a provider of frequency control products, has expanded its deployment of Aras to become the company’s end-to-end PLM backbone, including concept development and engineering with CAD management and change management, through enterprise quality management, compliance and closed-loop shipping and tracking.

Fox Electronics provides a line of frequency control products to the worldwide electronics markets. The company strives to make dramatic cycle time improvements for ever-faster delivery. In product development, Fox rolled out Aras for better collaboration and control with document and CAD file management, Bill of Materials management and online engineering change workflows to speed time to market.

Fox has also extended Aras to manage the complexity of international shipping processes with a solution that integrates directly to the cloud-based online systems of carriers. Aras is also integrated with the company’s ERP system from Infor to enable traceability and tracking from product order and inventory selection, to global delivery.

“The global electronics market is highly competitive and Aras is critical to the development of quality products and our ability to achieve on-time delivery within the increasingly complex requirements of Customs and other International regulatory agencies,” says Gene Trefethen, CEO of Fox Electronics. “Aras enables us to seamlessly integrate numerous internal and external systems to improve productivity and meet the unique needs of each customer around the world.”
