Case Study: Yankee Casting achieves AS9100 certification and major visibility & efficiency gains with Guardian Software Systems

Yankee Castings went from disconnected to cohesive with Guardian Software Systems Foundry Specific ERP

Yankee Castings, a premier aluminum and magnesium foundry serving aerospace and other industries, had outgrown its internally built accounting and scheduling systems and suffered from limited engineering data, poor visibility, and operational inefficiencies. Seeking an ERP that understood foundry-specific needs, they selected Guardian Software Systems and its Metal Casting ERP with MES to replace disparate legacy tools.

Guardian Software Systems implemented a cohesive, foundry-focused ERP/MES, allowing Yankee Castings to retire old systems, standardize work instructions, and achieve AS9100 certification. The Guardian solution improved shop-floor visibility, operator consistency and traceability, and supported sustained business growth and increased sales—the company reports the system “paid for itself in sales.”
