Case Study: Toray Carbon Fibers America achieves streamlined engineering workflows with Synergis Software's Adept

Toray Carbon Fibers America, Inc. uses Adept Engineering Document Management to Lighten their Engineering Load

Toray Carbon Fibers America, Inc., a producer of TORAYCA carbon fibers for aerospace and industrial applications, needed to manage and rapidly locate a growing library of some 20,000 drawings, PDFs, Excel and Word documents to minimize costly plant downtime and maintain AS9100 compliance. To solve this, the company chose Synergis Software’s Adept engineering document management solution.

Synergis Software deployed Adept via a pilot and quick install (up and running in 16 hours), scanned non‑CAD drawings, added searchable metadata, and enabled full‑text search, controlled access, revisioning, and electronic signatures. The result: engineers can find documents in five to six seconds, Adept’s full‑text search saved an estimated two to three years of manual work, nearly 1,000 quality documents were moved into the system to support AS9100, and adoption is spreading plant‑wide, reducing paper handling and improving response time for repairs.
