Powering Precision, Security, and Innovation in Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing

Advanced Manufacturing Solutions for Aerospace and Defense

Operating in highly regulated environments, manufacturers must maintain precision, traceability, and strict process control to comply with standards such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP), and eIDAS Regulation (EU) No 910/2014. Replacing paper-based records with secure electronic controlled history records (eCHR) helps manufacturers reduce compliance risk, standardize workflows, and achieve product traceability that will improve operational efficiency while lowering the cost of quality.

By connecting planning, scheduling, and execution, manufacturers gain end-to-end visibility and control. This is critical in environments where long program cycles, constrained resources, and strict compliance requirements make even small disconnects costly. This unified approach keeps plans aligned with real-time production conditions, reducing delays, rework, and operational inefficiencies while improving on-time delivery and program performance.

Differentiating Capabilities

Single Unified Application Suite

The integrated application suite delivers real-time feedback across single-plant and multi-plant operations. By connecting to existing transactional systems and devices, this creates event-based workflows while also embracing and extending your in-house AI LLM applications.

Deep Representation of Complex Manufacturing

Digitally model complex aerospace production workflows, including multi-level assemblies, specialized processing steps, and strict validation requirements. By creating an accurate digital representation of operations, manufacturers gain real-time visibility into production, enforce standardized processes, and identify improvement opportunities resulting in higher labor productivity, improved asset utilization, and better-quality performance.

Secure Electronic Controlled History Records (eCHR)

Automated capture and secure storage of production data creates a permanent eCHR) for every product manufactured. This digital record strengthens regulatory compliance, simplifies audits, and ensures full traceability across the product lifecycle. With immutable records and compliant electronic signatures, manufacturers reduce the cost and risk of compliance while accelerating audit preparation and regulatory reporting.

Key Capabilities

1 / 9
  1. Track complete product genealogy from raw materials through sub-assemblies to finished goods, enabling instant forward and backward traceability for quality investigations, recalls, and regulatory audits.

  2. Maintain secure electronic records, digital signatures, and audit trails to support aerospace standards such as FAA, EASA, AS9100, ITAR, and NADCAP requirements.

  3. Enforce validated manufacturing processes with digital work instructions, quality checkpoints, and built-in error prevention to ensure consistent execution and reduce human error.

  4. Capture inspection data and enforce automated quality checks during production to detect issues early, prevent defects from progressing, and maintain high product quality.

  5. Ensure only certified operators perform specific tasks and prevent production on uncalibrated tools or equipment to maintain compliance and production integrity.

  6. Monitor production progress, work-in-progress, labor activity, and equipment utilization in real time to identify bottlenecks and improve operational efficiency.

  7. Respond quickly to disruptions such as equipment downtime, material shortages, or urgent orders with real-time schedule adjustments that maintain production flow.

  8. Analyze labor and equipment performance using OEE and productivity metrics to identify inefficiencies, optimize resource utilization, and drive continuous improvement.

  9. Replaces guesswork timesheets with real-time labor tracking, exposing losses that timesheets can’t see.
