AIP Aerospace Coast Composites Selects VIMANA

Berkeley, CA – VIMANA announced that AIP Aerospace Coast Composites has selected VIMANA as their manufacturing software platform for improving shop floor production efficiency.

Coast Composites is one of the world’s leading and most experienced suppliers of composite aerospace tooling for large, complex composite parts. It utilizes advanced aerospace tooling design and manufacturing technologies to provide high value, quality service, committed delivery and competitive advantage to its customers in the defense, commercial aerospace and space/satellite industries. Coast is part of the AIP Aerospace group of companies.

“After looking at several other monitoring and analytics software solutions on the market, VIMANA really stood out by enabling us to see what is going on the shop floor and when production downtimes do occur automatically identifying the reason and raising an alert in real-time. OEE systems we’ve seen out there just do not have the analytics capabilities to do this.” — Brian Reed, Plant Manager, Coast Composites

Brian Reed, Plant Manager for the Irvine facility at Coast said, “After looking at several other monitoring and analytics software solutions on the market, VIMANA really stood out by enabling us to see what is going on the shop floor and when production downtimes do occur automatically identifying the reason and raising an alert in real-time. OEE systems we’ve seen out there just do not have the analytics capabilities to do this.”

Rick Moran, Chief Operating Officer of VIMANA added, “This has been a tremendous opportunity for us to showcase our capabilities at the Coast facilities. Brian and his team have been wonderful to work with and we look forward to rolling VIMANA out to other areas of the company.”
