Bringing Manufacturing Stateside? Don’t Let Legacy Processes Hold You Back

April 22, 2025 Sean Smith

Reshoring operations to the U.S. is more than a strategic move—it's a reset button for manufacturers to address outdated systems and processes that no longer support today’s pace of business. Engineering and IT managers have a unique opportunity to modernize workflows, increase agility, and build smarter, more scalable operations.

Identifying Legacy Bottlenecks

Manual data entry, siloed systems, and redundant tasks often bog down engineering and production teams. These legacy bottlenecks limit visibility, delay production, and introduce costly errors. Before bringing operations back onshore, it’s essential to audit your existing workflows and eliminate these hidden inefficiencies.

The Role of Automation and Integration

Modernizing with automation and connected systems allows manufacturers to move faster and with greater precision. By linking CAD, PLM, and ERP data, organizations can automatically update bills of materials, reduce manual rework, and streamline communication between engineering and manufacturing.

How IMAGINiT Can Help

IMAGINiT works with manufacturers to replace manual, disjointed workflows with scalable, integrated digital processes. Our experts implement tools like Autodesk Fusion Manage and IMAGINiT Pulse to automate data flow between design and business systems—improving accuracy, traceability, and responsiveness.

Customer Success: ASI Automates BOM Creation with Fusion Manage and IMAGINiT Pulse

Advanced Structural Integrity (ASI) was facing a common manufacturing challenge—manual BOM creation processes that were time-consuming and prone to error. With support from IMAGINiT, ASI implemented Autodesk Fusion Manage and IMAGINiT Pulse to automate and connect BOM data directly from their CAD models to their business systems.

The result? ASI eliminated delays, reduced the risk of manual errors, and now operates with greater efficiency and visibility across departments—exactly the kind of transformation needed to support reshoring initiatives. Read the full story
