Wave7 Optics

Wave7 Optics logo Wave7 Optics was losing manufacturing time and resources to overly complicated ECO (Engineering Change Order) processes. Their engineers would fill out a Word document, email the document to the Change Control group for review, and perform a search for affected assemblies before deciding if the ECO should move forward. They were losing valuable productivity and development time to repetitive administrative tasks.

Additionally, Wave7 needed to integrate their product records with their QAD MFG/PRO system data.


1.866.937.1438 | Arena PLM gave Wave7 Optics:

  • A system to link Engineering Requests to Engineering Changes.
  • Web native architecture to search for affected assemblies automatically with Arena’s “where used” functionality
  • A process to produce the ECO directly from the ECR
  • Integration of product data with ERP system data

Since the company adopted Arena PLM, Wave7’s Document Control Manager has seen total time for ECO submittal reduced by 50%, freeing up engineers to concentrate on design and development.
