Case Study: Anaren Microwave achieves paperless, data-driven maintenance and improved inventory control with Fiix

Anaren Microwave Implements their manufacturing CMMS

Anaren Microwave is a high‑tech manufacturer of custom microwave and RF technology serving industries including U.S. space and defense. Tasked with modernizing maintenance across five facilities, Materials Manager Bill Imperiale identified a cumbersome homegrown work‑order system that relied on paper, lacked PM metrics, and provided poor visibility into spare‑parts inventory.

Anaren implemented the Fiix CMMS—chosen for its cross‑site functionality and easy inline training—migrating clean data manually and deploying the system to technicians on iPads. After six months they eliminated much paper handling, gained measurable PM metrics for compliance and continuous improvement, achieved clear inventory visibility and valuation, and collected baseline data to drive future repair/replace and cost decisions, with plans to roll Fiix out to another facility.
