Aerospace & Defense

Purpose-Built for Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing

Aerospace and defense manufacturing runs on long program lifecycles, constant engineering changes, and quality requirements that leave no room for error. FactoryLogix keeps configuration control, product traceability, and regulatory compliance intact as programs evolve, so operations can adapt without losing control.

The Cost of Complexity

Aerospace and defense manufacturing leaves little room for disconnected systems, manual processes, or outdated production information. Every engineering change, material substitution, inspection, repair, and production decision must be accurately controlled and fully documented to protect quality, compliance, and delivery commitments.

Always Be Audit Ready

Compliance with AS9100, ITAR, CMMC, and customer requirements depends on full manufacturing accountability. Manufacturers must be able to demonstrate product history, process compliance, and production records instantly without searching through paper files or disconnected systems.

Maintain Configuration Control

Engineering changes continue throughout long-running programs. Every product must be built using the correct revisions, approved processes, and current documentation to prevent costly errors and compliance risks.

Adapt to Changing Program Requirements

Engineering changes, production ramps, sustainment programs, and evolving customer requirements demand manufacturing processes that can adapt while maintaining complete control over quality, traceability, and configuration.

Maintain Complete Product Traceability

Every serialized product must be traceable across assemblies, sub-assemblies, materials, suppliers, inspections, and repairs to support investigations, regulatory requirements, and long-term sustainment.

Adapt Production as Capacity Changes

Production schedules constantly evolve as customer priorities, engineering changes, workforce availability, and material constraints shift. Manufacturers need the flexibility to evaluate options and respond with confidence.

Preserve Critical Manufacturing Knowledge

Specialized manufacturing knowledge shouldn't disappear when experienced employees retire or move on. Organizations need standardized processes that capture expertise, accelerate onboarding, and maintain consistent execution across programs.

Manufacturing Execution Built for Aerospace & Defense

Compliance Enforced During Production

FactoryLogix automatically generates eDHRs, AS9100 reports, and certificates of conformance from production data as work is completed, reducing manual documentation while ensuring audit-ready manufacturing records. 

Enforced Revision Control at the Station

FactoryLogix ensures every unit is built using the correct BOM, process, work instructions, and document revisions, automatically preventing unauthorized or obsolete revisions from reaching production.

Adaptive Manufacturing Workflows

Support new production, Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul (MRO), teardown, inspection, repair, refurbishment, and configure-to-order on a single platform with workflows that dynamically adapt to each unit's condition, inspection findings, and approved engineering changes while maintaining complete genealogy, traceability, and configuration control. 

Complete Digital Product Genealogy

Every serialized product is connected through a continuous digital thread that captures assemblies, subassemblies, materials, inspections, repairs, engineering changes, and service history, providing immediate forward and reverse traceability throughout its lifecycle. 

Model Capacity Changes Before They Happen

Simio's process simulation and Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS), used standalone or together, model production capacity, resources, schedules, and material flow, so planners can evaluate scenarios, optimize throughput, and validate decisions before committing them to the floor.  

Connected Workforce Execution

Context-aware work instructions, guided task execution, embedded inspections, nonconformance management, electronic signoffs, and role-based experiences help every operator perform work consistently while preserving critical manufacturing knowledge.
