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.
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.
Automated capture and secure storage of production data creates a permanent electronic controlled history record (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.
Connecting planning, scheduling, and execution enables manufacturers to manage the entire production lifecycle.
This unified approach enables organizations to:
> Align demand planning and S&OP with production capacity
> Generate realistic production plans and schedules
> Coordinate shop floor execution and quality management
> Improve supplier coordination and distribution planning
By continuously linking execution data back to planning systems, manufacturers maintain accurate schedules, improve resource utilization, and respond quickly to disruptions.
Automatically generate secure electronic controlled history records (eCHR) capturing every step of manufacturing. Replace paper documentation with immutable, audit-ready digital records supporting full product lifecycle 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.
Maintain secure electronic records, digital signatures, and audit trails to support aerospace standards such as FAA, EASA, AS9100, ITAR, and NADCAP requirements.
Enforce validated manufacturing processes with digital work instructions, quality checkpoints, and built-in error prevention to ensure consistent execution and reduce human error.
Capture inspection data and enforce automated quality checks during production to detect issues early, prevent defects from progressing, and maintain high product quality.
Ensure only certified operators perform specific tasks and prevent production on uncalibrated tools or equipment to maintain compliance and production integrity.
