Case Study: Fox Electronics achieves faster time-to-market and global process improvement with Aras Corporation

Aras PLM Sparks Global Process Improvement

Fox Electronics, a global leader in high-precision frequency control products, needed to shorten cycle times, maintain strict quality, and manage increasingly complex international shipping and regulatory requirements while supporting rapid product innovation like its XpressO configurable oscillators. The company’s challenge was to improve collaboration, traceability and on-time delivery across engineering, manufacturing and global logistics without compromising ISO 9001-level quality.

To solve this, Fox implemented Aras Innovator enterprise-wide as its PLM backbone, integrating CAD and BOM management, engineering change workflows, quality and compliance, ERP (Infor) and cloud-based carrier shipping systems. The integrated solution created a single source of truth, sped time-to-market and collaboration, cut XpressO lead times from over 10 weeks to 10 days or less, and improved traceability, shipping accuracy and ISO compliance.
