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

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

Key Capabilities

Full Product Traceability:

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. 

Regulatory Compliance

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

Controlled Manufacturing Workflows

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

In-Process Quality Control

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

Workforce & Equipment Control

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

Real Time Shop Floor Visibility

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

Dynamic Schedule Adjustment

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

Productivity & Performance Insights

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

Labor Productivity

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