Discover how ATL Technology unified global design and manufacturing operations with Autodesk Fusion Manage, transforming fragmented systems into a centralized, scalable PLM platform.
Autodesk Fusion Manage: Connect People, Processes, and Data
Streamline workflows, enhance collaboration, and gain real-time visibility with PLM.
Operating across multiple continents, ATL Technology struggled with inconsistent systems, disconnected data, and uneven process maturity – creating serious roadblocks as the company grew. By adopting Autodesk Fusion Manage, the global medical device manufacturer transformed its design‑to‑production workflows and established a unified, scalable foundation for global operations.
Overcoming the limits of fragmented systems
ATL Technology partners with medical device OEMs to bring life‑saving products to market. But with headquarters in Utah and manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica, the UK, and China, the company reached a critical inflection point: each location operated differently, using its own processes and tools.
According to Roger Solano, ATL’s teams lacked consistency and visibility across sites, making it difficult to collaborate effectively or scale efficiently. The organization needed a single, global PLM system capable of standardizing processes, connecting data, and enabling growth.
Autodesk Fusion Manage – A cloud PLM solution for global data unification
Implementing Autodesk Fusion Manage provided ATL Technology with exactly what they needed – a centralized, cloud‑based platform that serves as a single source of truth across the entire organization.
Now, all teams access the same data in the same cloud environment, eliminating silos and helping global design and manufacturing teams collaborate more effectively. For the first time, every site works from unified processes and shared information.
Key outcomes of the transformation
Stronger design for manufacturing (DFM) alignment
Centralized product data has tightened collaboration between engineering and production. Designs now incorporate manufacturing requirements earlier, reducing revisions, shortening timelines, and improving overall manufacturability.
Automated BOM management and cultural change
Autodesk Fusion Manage dramatically improved the way bill of materials (BOM) data moves into ATL’s ERP system:
- Automation saves significant engineering time by eliminating manual transfers
- Teams now think differently about data quality, knowing information flows directly into downstream systems
This shift has strengthened data accuracy, accountability, and operational efficiency.
Supportive, end‑to‑end implementation partnership
ATL Technology emphasizes the value of Autodesk’s guidance—from evaluating solutions through user story development, implementation, and go‑live. The collaborative partnership ensured Fusion Manage aligned closely with ATL’s global operational needs.
Autdoesk Fusion Manage for dispersed teams
ATL Technology recommends Fusion Manage for organizations facing similar challenges:
- Companies with global manufacturing operations seeking standardization
- Teams needing centralized data across multiple sites
- Businesses aiming to modernize and scale their processes
- Organizations burdened by disconnected systems and inconsistent information
For manufacturers operating across borders – especially in highly regulated sectors like medical devices – a unified product lifecycle management platform is essential for speed, consistency, and control. ATL Technology’s transformation shows how cloud PLM empowers global teams to collaborate more effectively, automate critical workflows, and bring better products to market faster.
The move from siloed, location‑specific systems to a single global PLM platform represents more than a software upgrade. It’s a shift in how data flows, how teams connect, and how organizations scale sustainably in a competitive, global environment. Learn more about Autodesk Fusion Manage today.
