FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- iBASEt, a leading provider of manufacturing, MRO and quality software solutions to complex, highly regulated industries, announced today this year's recipients of its Digital Manufacturing Leadership Awards, presented at the company's business conference, Excelerate, which was held from October 22 to 26, 2018 in Dana Point, CA.

The Digital Manufacturing Leadership Awards honor manufacturing enterprises that are leveraging iBASEt's Digital Manufacturing solutions to significantly improve their businesses, and leveraging iBASEt as the foundation to shape the future of their complex manufacturing operations. iBASEt recognizes leading manufacturers and MRO providers who are using iBASEt Digital Manufacturing-based solutions for transformational breakthroughs.

"It's a privilege for us to recognize leaders in the manufacturing industry for their excellence in digital transformation and innovation," said Naveen Poonian, Chief Operating Officer of iBASEt. "This year's award winners have shown a proven excellence in complex manufacturing, and a dedication to operational excellence. We're looking forward to seeing how these companies can inspire others in the manufacturing space."

Digital Enterprise Leadership Award Winners:

Solar Turbines
Pursuit of Innovation
Solar Turbines was one of iBASEt's first customers in the heavy equipment industry, and immediately took on an aggressive project of bringing three companies together by connecting their PTC PLM platform with iBASEt's Solumina MES. Throughout the project, every member of the Solar Turbines team served as a great partner—from project management, to testing, coding and product development, proving themselves to be true champions.

Pratt & Whitney
Broadest Adoption
Pratt & Whitney took on the bold task of broadly implementing iBASEt solutions throughout their sites, bringing disparate processes together. Although the project and implementation has changed ownership throughout the process, Pratt & Whitney has used dedication and perseverance to expand their footprint. The company was also the first to deploy iBASEt's Solumina as a cloud-based solution.

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company
Speed of Deployment
In only three months, Lockheed Martin went live with iBASEt's MRO solution and Offline capabilities to manage the maintenance of one of their largest and most important programs, the F-35. Throughout these three months, the company displayed skill, dedication and trust—and highlighted the benefits of a strong partnership between vendor and customer.

Textron Systems
Business Transformation
Textron Systems is relentless in their drive to succeed. The company continues to onboard iBASEt Digital Manufacturing solutions across multiple divisions while always learning and applying lessons learned to the next divisions' roll-out. Textron Systems is a true example of tenacity and ambition.

Parker Hannifin
Outstanding G8 Upgrade
An enterprise system upgrade can be challenging, but by developing a dedicated team with in-depth knowledge, Parker Hannifin was able to upgrade five divisions from iBASEt's G7 to G8 with minimal support from iBASEt. The company created an extensive guide that defined the processes, validation steps, check lists, and high-level overviews for the upgrade. The company's attention to detail and drive ensured the upgrade was a success.

Virgin Orbit – Andrzej Goryca
Premier Partner
Andrzej Goryca, Senior Enterprise Systems Manager at Virgin Orbit, was recognized for the added value he brings to iBASEt's product and business development strategies. Goryca has helped with the company's development efforts, provided quality input on customer care and feedback, and served as a true confidant regarding iBASEt's overall strategy.

Textron Systems – Todd Kackley
Premier Partner
Todd Kackley, Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Textron Systems, was recognized as a valued strategic partner who provides constructive and detailed feedback on iBASEt's new processes and puts best practices to the test, supporting the company in its innovation.
