The Challenge:
Alaris, like most international companies, faces significant communication problems that arise from language barriers inherent in a multi-lingual work force. In manufacturing alone, Alaris has at least a dozen major languages in its work force, creating a variety of communication challenges.

IronCAD the Productivity Solution:
To alleviate these problems, Alaris is moving to a paperless system for manufacturing assembly instructions. The goal is to create Web-based, interactive instructions to be displayed on monitors on the manufacturing floor. IronCAD was chosen as the primary tool for implementation because of its communication and hyper-operability features.

Summary

• Integrated animation and rendering capabilities.
• Wide range of 3D import/export filters.
• IronCAD is helping Alaris create a next-generation, global manufacturing environment.

"We use IronCAD to maximize the value of our 3D CAD data, leveraging existing information to create animations and images which clearly communicate our processes and eliminate the language dependencies of text-based instructions." - Matt Gouthier
