Enterprise PLM and MRO platform connecting digital thread from design to field maintenance
Aras MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) is an enterprise-grade software solution built on the Aras Innovator PLM platform that extends the Digital Thread from product design all the way to field maintenance and asset management. Originally developed by Impresa and acquired by Aras in 2018, it enables manufacturers and asset-intensive industries to manage complex product lifecycles end-to-end on a single, modern platform. The platform connects 'As-Designed,' 'As-Built,' and 'As-Maintained' product data, giving maintenance teams real-time visibility into asset configuration, utilization history, and upcoming maintenance requirements. This closed-loop traceability helps organizations shift from reactive to predictive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime for complex assets such as aircraft, defense equipment, and industrial machinery. Aras MRO is delivered as part of Aras enterprise subscriptions with on-premise, hybrid, and cloud deployment options. It is used by global manufacturers across aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial sectors, and integrates with ERP, MES, and CAD systems to form a comprehensive Digital Twin foundation.
Connects as-designed, as-built, and as-maintained product data to give a complete, traceable history of every asset across its lifecycle
Track every component, modification, and configuration state of complex assets from manufacturing through field operations
Analyze operational data and asset history to predict upcoming maintenance needs and prevent unplanned downtime
Create, assign, and track maintenance work orders with full traceability to the affected asset configuration
Maintain a complete audit trail of all maintenance activities, part replacements, and inspections for compliance and traceability
Builds the data infrastructure needed to create accurate digital twins of physical assets for simulation and monitoring
Integrates with SAP, Oracle, and other ERP/MES systems to synchronize maintenance data with broader enterprise operations
Monitor utilization rates and operational status across entire fleets of assets to optimize maintenance scheduling
Generate regulatory-compliant maintenance records and documentation for industries with strict certification requirements such as aerospace
Deploy on-premise, in hybrid environments, or fully in the cloud depending on security and operational requirements
