LOWELL, Mass. — Essig PLM, a leading provider of enterprise technology solutions and consultancy services, announced that it successfully completed a product lifecycle management (PLM) implementation for Whirley-DrinkWorks!, a leader in developing and producing products for the food and beverage industry.

As an Aras Certified Partner, Essig PLM deployed the Aras Innovator PLM solution at Whirley-DrinkWorks! after effectively conducting a Discovery and Proof of Concept phase. In addition, Essig PLM’s Connectors for PLM, which include in-depth CAD integrations with Aras Innovator, will facilitate the part, mold and tool CAD data management for all Whirley products.
