FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A&D POWER CONNECTOR MANUFACTURER SELECTS IQMS
Rebling Power Connectors desired an extended, single database and industry-specific
solution for the highly regulated aerospace and defense industry
PASO ROBLES, CALIF. – May 1, 2013 – IQMS, a manufacturing ERP software and MES
developer with an ongoing, proactive commitment to its product and relationships, today
announced that Rebling Power Connectors has selected IQMS as its new manufacturing
ERP and MES software solution. For more than four decades, Rebling Power Connectors
has been manufacturing high current battery receptacles and disconnectors for the aviation
sector and defense land vehicles, in addition to its custom thermoplastic and thermoset
moldings for the medical, consumer products and automotive industries.
Most recently, Rebling Power Connectors was involved in the solution to the lithium battery
fires that grounded the Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet and halted production. Working directly
with Boeing engineers, Rebling Power Connectors offered its engineering experience and
new 7009 Hi Temperature connector technology to assist Boeing in finding a containment
solution to return the Dreamliner to the air and Boeing back to full production.
Rebling Power Connectors was struggling with a common manufacturing challenge: Too
many disconnected software systems required to run its business. Between Access
Database © , an obsolete MRP system and numerous spreadsheets to track quality, Rebling
Power Connectors was arduously entering production data multiple times across its
considerable systems to comply with ISO 9001 requirements.
“We have a very old legacy system, so everything was painful,” said Nate Bower, president
at Rebling Power Connectors. “When considering ERP packages, there were some specific
pieces to our manufacturing operations that the other systems didn’t address. They offered
more of a band-aid workaround, rather than the built-in industry-specific features IQMS
offers.”
Rebling Power Connectors is in the process of becoming AS9100 certified. The company
will use IQMS’ extended, completely integrated ERP and MES system, EnterpriseIQ, to
access its data in one common location. In addition, Rebling Power Connectors plans to
take advantage of EnterpriseIQ’s enhanced document control and quality process
management tools, wireless warehouse management and inventory control and the
RealTime Production Monitoring system.
“Aerospace and defense manufacturers deal continuously with strict regulatory
requirements,” said Glenn Nowak, vice president at IQMS. “With one comprehensive,
extended ERP and MES system such as EnterpriseIQ, Rebling Power Connectors will now
be able to comply with ISO 9001, AS9100 and ITAR requirements with ease and peace of
mind.”
