Aerospace & defense manufacturing

Machine tools, CMMs and torque tools on a calibration interval, with the quality-system certifications, export authorisations and NDT operator certifications behind every part that ships.

Ships today as the aerospace pack, version 1AS9100 · NADCAP

Document type: Industry pack
Document: ACT-WEB

What the pack gives you on day one.

Machine tools, gauges and test rigs under AS9100 and NADCAP, with the quality-system certifications, export authorisations, operator certifications and tool calibrations that lapse on a calendar date. Everything below is seeded into your organisation when you adopt the pack, and every row of it is yours from that moment: rename it, reorder it, delete it, add to it. Upgrading the pack later never overwrites something you have edited.

Assets you put in the register

Machine tool: CNC mills, lathes and grinders cutting flight hardware.
Coordinate measuring machine: CMMs and scanners whose results accept or reject a part.
Torque tool: Wrenches and drivers with a certified setting, individually serialised.
Test rig: Pressure, vibration, environmental and functional test stands.
NDT equipment: Penetrant lines, ultrasonic, eddy current and radiographic equipment.
Heat treatment: Furnaces and quench systems under pyrometry survey.
Tooling & fixture: Jigs, fixtures and moulds on a periodic reverification.
Reference standard: Gauge blocks, masters and artefacts that calibrate everything else.

Fields your sector needs

Not hardcoded into the product for everyone — defined by the pack, validated on every write, and filterable and exportable like any built-in field.

Export controlledYes / no: Subject to ITAR, EAR or a national control, so who may stand in front of it is restricted.
Calibration interval (months)Whole number: The interval the calibration schedule works to. Shortening it after a failure is the usual response.
Measurement traceabilityOne of a list: How this instrument's accuracy traces back to a national standard.; National standard (UKAS/NIST or equivalent) · Internal reference standard · Manufacturer certificate · Not traceable — indication only
Special processAny of a list: NADCAP special processes this equipment is accredited for.; Heat treating · Nondestructive testing · Welding · Chemical processing · Coatings · Composites · Measurement & inspection
Accepts productYes / no: Its reading decides whether a part ships. These are the assets whose calibration lapse triggers a recall review.

Your words, not ours

No screen in the product hardcodes a noun. The pack renames these, and the rest keep the neutral word.

What expires, and how early you hear about it.

These are the real warning ladders, not an illustration. Each one is set from how long that renewal actually takes — a certificate an authority re-inspects opens months ahead, because a thirty-day reminder would already be too late. The first rung is when the work has to start; a final 1 means it stops work the day it lapses.

Certifications the Aerospace & defence manufacturing pack seeds, with their default warning thresholds
Certification	Why it is on the ladder	Warns at
Quality system certificate	AS9100 and equivalent scheme certificates. The surveillance audit is booked long before the end date.	2701809030days before
NADCAP accreditation	Special-process accreditation, granted per process and per site.	2701809030days before
Export authorisation	ITAR, EAR or national licence covering a part, a technology or a person's access to it.	180903071days before
NDT operator certification	Held by a person, at a level. A lapsed level 2 invalidates the inspections signed after it.	180903071days before
Calibration certificate	The single most common obligation on this register, and the one an auditor samples first.	603071days before
Pyrometry survey	TUS and SAT under AMS2750 — each furnace, each qualified range.	903071days before
Customer approval	A prime's approval of a process, a part or a source. Losing it is losing the work.	1809030days before
Tooling reverification	—	90307days before
Facility security clearance	—	1809030days before
Operator certification	Welding, composite and special-process operators, each with an expiring qualification.	12060307days before

Held against

Tag an obligation with the standard it satisfies, and the coverage report counts them — including the ones mapped to no framework at all, which is the number an auditor asks about.

Views already drawn

Filters your sector asks for weekly, waiting above the register on the first day. They are ordinary saved views: change the columns, delete the ones you do not want, save your own.

The question the inspection opens on.

“This inspection was signed by a level 2 — was their certification in date?”
— what an auditor in this sector asks first

The auditor export answers it in one action: the asset, every obligation on it, every plan, every service event, every filed document and the full change history — assembled in a single consistent read, so no two sections of the file can disagree. Two exports of an unchanged record are byte-for-byte identical.

Append-only history. Every change lands in an event log in the same transaction as the change. No role holds an update or delete grant on that table.
Certificates listed, with their evidence. Documents filed against the obligations and the service events are in the export too — the calibration certificate lives on the service event, and that is the one you will be asked for.
Readable by everyone on the team. Quality, finance and an external auditor given a seat can all run it. The people who most need the export are exactly the ones a viewer role would have blocked.

The dashboard on any Monday morning: what has already lapsed, what lapses this week, and what needs starting now to land on time.

Failed sends

Sample obligations from a fictional organisation, resolved against an observation date the visitor controls. Every row is one record in the register — an obligation, the asset it sits on, and the person accountable for it.

Bring us your aerospace spreadsheet.

The first session is the import: a column mapper, a dry run that shows exactly what will be created, a per-row error report numbered to match your file, and an undo for the whole batch in one action. Getting five hundred rows in on day one is the point, not a later project.
