Aras, which provides the most powerful low-code platform with applications to design, build, and operate complex products, today announced that Tamturbo, a leading developer of oil-free air compressors, has selected the Aras platform to manage its product data and enable interdisciplinary collaboration across the lifecycle. This will support Tamturbo’s mission to provide an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional compressed air generation.

Product related data is the most valuable asset for a company in any industry. Spreadsheets and other legacy data management tools cannot keep up to provide current, consistent product-related data. As a result, more companies are turning to PLM solutions that can ensure that accurate, up-to-date information can be viewed by any user during design reviews, engineering changes, defect analysis, and other processes.

Tamturbo quickly realized the importance of systematic data management when going through a period of rapid growth, which resulted in more complex products with even more data to manage. Excel-based management made finding the most up to date data increasingly difficult when several users made copies, changed data, or saved new versions of documents.

Tamturbo produces compressors for several industries and must be ready to supply customers with detailed information. It also provides 24/7 remote monitoring and extensive servicing for devices, so it was critical all departments within Tamturbo – from sales and service to designers and developers – have easy access to all product data. As the company grows, so do requirements. Tamturbo needed a flexible solution that included upgrades and allowed for customizations, and one that could adapt to its processes today and in the future. With Aras, Tamturbo has a clear, traceable view of the entire lifecycle of its compressors and can quickly fulfill customer needs without relying on costly outside resources.

"Aras Innovator is the central place for all product related data, which makes our work much easier and less complex,” said Igot Nagaev, CEO of Tamturbo. “We trust our data and the time to find it has been reduced significantly, allowing users to get what they need, when they need it and then move on to get their work done faster.”

Today, nearly all Tamturbo employees use Aras Innovator. Technical support utilizes it for testing, production employees check data and drawings, and sales and service can view compressors in much more detail because 3D views can be displayed so quickly. If a customer request changes or need product information, reliable data can be viewed and revised in short time.
