By hosting all electrical, mechanical, and software information in a centralized product record, Arena enables every participant throughout the entire product lifecycle to work together anytime and anywhere, increasing visibility and traceability. This accelerates new product development (NPD) and new product introduction (NPI) by streamlining processes, automating review cycles, and reducing errors. Arena PLM keeps internal teams and supply chain partners on the same page. Our scalable and collaborative platform streamlines engineering change reviews, simplifies bill of materials (BOM) management and document control, mitigates supply chain risk, and helps speed product launches. Arena QMS connects quality and product record information into a single, secure system. Easily traceable closed-loop quality and product processes help you introduce high-quality products to market while ensuring compliance with quality standards and regulations, such as FDA 21 CFR Part 820, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 13485, and AS 9100. Arena Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI) provides real-time electronic component risk and compliance information to reduce supply chain risk throughout NPI and NPD. With Arena SCI embedded within Arena PLM, you can proactively monitor the health of your BOM and mitigate component issues throughout the product lifecycle, as well as ensure electronic component compliance as regulatory requirements evolve. Arena’s AI capabilities create smarter, more personalized experiences that empower every customer while adhering to its responsible AI policies. Arena AI Assistant uses a conversational interface to help users navigate Arena with ease and reduce onboarding time, while Arena AI Engine drives faster document reviews and comparisons to further speed workflows. Arena supports more than 1,500 complex high-tech electronics, medical device, and aerospace/defense companies around the world. Using Arena’s proven cloud-native solutions, your internal teams and external partners can leverage the most comprehensive product development platform to accelerate product launches while reducing expenses, increasing profitability, and speeding time to market.
