Razorleaf and First Resonance Form Technology Partnership to Integrate Intelligent, Connected Manufacturing

As a First Resonance strategic ION partner, Razorleaf will facilitate connections to PLM, MES and other digital thread components in next-generation factories

Stow, OH and El Segundo, CA, USA-September 9, 2025: Razorleaf Corporation, a leading PLM and MES consulting and systems integrator, has formed a technology partnership with First Resonance, a provider of advanced manufacturing management software.


As a strategic partner with First Resonance, Razorleaf consultants will be certified on their ION Factory Operating System, which supports a seamless flow of sensitive production data throughout factories producing complex hardware in key industries such as spacecraft, nuclear reactors and robots. The AI-powered ION platform ensures regulatory adherence while safeguarding highly confidential information and intellectual property all along the digital thread throughout advanced manufacturing processes.

The partnership marries Razorleaf's ability to bridge the manufacturing domains of PLM, ERP, MES, and CRM-employing its industry-leading CLOVER integration software-with First Resonance's solutions that are deployed in Gov Cloud and Fed RAMP environments to meet rigorous government security requirements. First Resonance maintains SOC 2 certification and adheres to ITAR regulations.

Says Razorleaf's Andrew Halley, Senior Director of Partnerships and Alliances, "Together with First Resonance we are providing a more streamlined and seamless experience for their ION clients when connecting to downstream systems such as PLM, ERP, CRM's, etc. Razorleaf is very aware of the many nuances of connecting such systems in a manufacturing enterprise. Our wide knowledge base provides clients with the same level of quality across integrations to systems such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, ARAS, Arena, SolidWorks, Dynamics, and many more. This delivers the right data, in the right place, at the right time."

"Drawing on our experience in fast-paced, high-precision engineering environments like SpaceX, we built the ION platform to enable rapid engineering and manufacturing in today's complex industries," says Karan Talati, CEO at First Resonance. "Legacy MES tools fail to keep pace with the speed and complexity manufacturers face today. ION brings scheduling, execution, and intelligence into a single, dynamic platform built to empower the builders of tomorrow's products. By integrating Razorleaf's CLOVER software, we can extend that capability to deliver even greater interoperability and value to our customers."

"We're seeing great synergy between our two organizations from both a product standpoint and, more importantly, a client-satisfaction standpoint," said Razorleaf CEO Eric Doubell. "We find it very rewarding to work with partners like First Resonance who share our drive to continuously improve software integration for manufacturing, and who see the long-term value of facilitating growth between our services and our customers' visions."

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
