Honeywell Aerospace's launch as an independent company got our CEO thinking about a challenge every manufacturer eventually faces:

If your organization had to operate independently tomorrow, how confident are you that your production knowledge, quality records, and manufacturing data could move with you?

Major business changes have a way of exposing hidden dependencies that have built up over the years. Organizations with a strong digital thread are better positioned to keep production moving while those dependencies are identified and addressed.

In Naveen Poonian's newest blog, he explores why manufacturing ex*****on has become a strategic priority and what A&D manufacturers can learn from it.

What's possible on your shopfloor with Solumina AI? Let us share where we're headed and how we align with Gartner's findings - as noted in their Market Guide for MES. Quick look at three things that stand out:

1. Chasing AI before fixing operations is backfiring. Companies jumping to AI without the right operational foundation see initiatives that stall, underdeliver, or demand so much human intervention they stop being AI.

2. AI applied to production operations is where the real returns are. Gartner identifies operational intelligence as the highest-impact AI category in A&D — not design, not finance. The shop floor.

3. Purpose-built ex*****on platforms are pulling ahead. Generic ERP-based MES solutions can't deliver the compliance, traceability, and real-time visibility that A&D demands.

Solumina is the only pure play A&D-focused MES recognized in the Gartner Market Guide. Purpose-built. AI-native. Trusted by 9 of the top 10 A&D manufacturers.

We’d like the opportunity to connect with EMEA leaders during the Farnborough International Airshow to explore this topic in more detail.
