Solumina by iBase-t — enterprise Manufacturing Execution System purpose-built for aerospace, defense, and complex discrete manufacturing.
Solumina is iBase-t's flagship Manufacturing Operations Platform, covering MES, quality management (EQMS), supplier quality (SQM), and MRO in a single cloud-native suite. The DB mislabels it as 'Developer & Technical' — it is squarely an enterprise manufacturing platform — and incorrectly flags a free trial; no such trial exists. Pricing is enterprise-contract only with no public rates. Customers include Northrop Grumman, GE Aerospace, Rolls-Royce, and Pratt & Whitney, signaling a high-cost, high-compliance product tier.
iBase-t has two decades of focus on aerospace and defense MES, with a marquee customer list and a recently launched AI layer that is rare in the regulated manufacturing space. For organizations that qualify, it is among the most purpose-fit MES solutions available.
Completely opaque pricing, lengthy implementation cycles, and a target market so specific (A&D, nuclear, medical devices) that most manufacturers need not apply. No self-serve trial or sandbox access.
