For complex builds where compliance and traceability are critical, discrete manufacturers choose the ION Factory Operating System to support their factory operations. With an open and flexible API that makes integrations a breeze, you get more than an MES platform. You get future-proof manufacturing software that provides factory-wide connectivity.
As a technology company with deep roots in complex hardware manufacturing, we are delivering a new standard in production management software. Say goodbye to the constraints of legacy manufacturing execution system vendors and say hello to a Factory Operating System that's flexible, easy to deploy,and future-proof.
Used by next-generation manufacturers building world-defining hardware like spacecraft, nuclear reactors, and robots, First Resonance provides manufacturing management software to visionary companies where flexibility and quality traceability are critical for success. The ION Factory OS by First Resonance enables engineers to rapidly move from complex prototypes to seamless production, accelerating the development cycle and enabling them to bring products to market faster than ever.
In an era where agility and speed are paramount, a modern MES is an indispensable tool for manufacturers striving for unparalleled excellence. As a modern MES company, we understand that in today's hyper-competitive landscape, every minute counts, and our modern MES solution has been meticulously crafted to deliver fast deployment and flexibility to help enterprise manufacturers adapt and excel in an ever-evolving marketplace.
With a premier modern MES vendor like First Resonance, you’re not just getting another solution; you’re gaining a strategic partner committed to your success. Our manufacturing software empowers you with real-time insights, seamless automation, and unparalleled scalability, enabling you to optimize production, reduce downtime, and enhance quality control like never before.
At the core of the manufacturing industries we support lies a critical need for compliance with intricate regulations and unwavering data privacy standards. Whether we’re working with an aerospace company with defense contracts, a medical device manufacturer pioneering breakthrough advancements, or an emerging climate tech leader, safeguarding highly sensitive information is crucial for their continued success. That’s why we’ve designed ION Factory OS to support a seamless flow of sensitive production data that ensures not only regulatory adherence but also the safeguarding of highly confidential information and intellectual property.
To deliver on our promise of exceptional security in our manufacturing software, our solutions are deployed in GovCloud environments for maximum compliance and reliability. Our software is also deployed in FedRAMP environments, reflecting our commitment to meeting rigorous government security requirements.
We maintain SOC 2 certification and adhere to ITAR regulations, ensuring stringent data security and privacy standards. This blend of certifications and deployments is the reason we’re the choice of fast-growing hard-tech innovators with complex compliance requirements.
Discrete complex manufacturing teams use ION Factory OS to build, iterate, and track changes from prototype through production. As you build with ION, your team is visually guided through step-by-step processes, capturing in-process data and redlines so that issues can be surfaced and fixed the moment they happen. Highly configurable, with an open API for turnkey integrations that connect all your factory floor systems, ION is designed to get you up and running fast without expensive, lengthy implementations.
Whether you're building rockets, electric boats, satellites, or another complex apparatus, your team needs to understand every material component, sub-assembly, machine, tool, and technicians they'll need to ensure a confident delivery date. However, forecasting is complex and requires accurate internal data, which is where ION Autoplan comes in. Based on the inventory availability and capacity needed to build a product, ION Autoplan calculates a start date so you can set expectations across the organization.
At its core, ION Analytics is a production analytics tool for optimizing factory operations -- but the granularity you get is unmatched by other MES software vendors. With end-to-end visibility and traceability across the manufacturing line and supply chain, you can identify the root causes impacting slow production rates, quality, and costs. Unpack the cost of completed assemblies you’ve built including labor costs, installed components, and sub-assemblies to get the all-in true cost of production.
We are removing the barriers of traditional MES system vendors by changing the game. With ION manufacturing software, forward-thinking manufacturers are improving on-the-fly collaboration between engineers and technicians, moving information between systems freely, and using data to deliver insights that result in better hardware quality, delivery, and traceability.
At First Resonance, we believe we’re on the verge of a new dawn for the way we build hardware. A day when the power of artificial intelligence, connected devices, and skilled workers combine to manufacture paradigm-shifting technology faster, cleaner, and smarter than ever before. Where data flows from human-to-human, human-to-machine, and machine-to-machine. The things of science fiction made real.
Founded in 2020, First Resonance was born out of a desire to enable the next generation of hardware companies to bring their inventions to market sooner, many of which have the potential to fix some of the massive challenges that threaten our existence.
