PLM for Aerospace and Defense

The traditional government-sponsored Aerospace & Defense industry, which landed man on the moon and brought low-cost global travel to the public, is undergoing disruptive change. Commercial startups, often beginning as SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Companies), are redefining space transportation even before they have a business model. Funded by investors on the strength of an idea, these companies are often formed by the best engineers with decades of experience at traditional A&D companies.

Emerging aerospace companies face a challenging situation; they must create working prototypes while forming the company and developing best practices to guide engineering processes. It’s often a chaotic situation driven by a shared end goal.

Fortunately, Duro’s next-generation Cloud-Native PLM solution helps improve engineering in precisely these situations. With Duro’s aerospace engineering software, we can streamline product development processes, enhance cooperation, and ultimately help you deliver working prototypes more efficiently.

What Duro PLM delivers for Aerospace and Defense Companies

Affordability

Today’s A&D industry relies heavily upon suppliers. Unfortunately, supply-chain-centric design processes mean all parties must confront incompatible IT systems and processes. Enter Duro, the next-generation Cloud-Native PLM solution which aids engineering and collaboration in these situations. Duro can be enabled in hours, not months. In addition, the platform is both flexible and scalable.
Traceability

Duro offers complete traceability of product information from supplier-sourced components in spreadsheets or e-catalogs to final released products. Alerts signal when there's outdated information so users can make corrections, and our “Roll-Back” feature can restore a previous version. As a result, companies can satisfy internal engineering processes and federal regulatory requirements, such as ITAR.
Interoperability

Duro’s integrations with manufacturing applications, supplier catalogs and CAD tools ensure an uninterrupted Digital Thread. Out-of-the-box integrations to common mCAD, eCAD, and ERP platforms are readily available. A RESTful API allows users to configure other integrations. Event triggers using webhooks send notifications to adjacent systems, thus connecting processes across the entire product development lifecycle.
Agile Team Collaboration

Duro helps engineering productivity. Emulating a Git Workflow paradigm used in the software industry where unstructured workflows are typical, Duro helps engineering teams collaborate easily. For example, an engineer can create a Change Order in just a few clicks, then share it immediately with chosen peers. In addition, you can receive Slack notifications to alert team members of any changes in real time.
