Aerospace

Traceability and quality assurance for precision assembly and testing

Precisely collect and trace data from aerospace part manufacturing, assembly, and testing to ensure strict quality regulations and full traceability.

Aerospace quality is proven by records. Which part, on which machine, fastened at what torque, passing which tests — PlantPulse collects that entire journey straight from equipment data and keeps it as lot-level, back-traceable history.

A Challenges

01

Tracing precision assembly and fastening data

02

Strict quality and regulatory compliance

03

Complete preservation of test data

04

Standardized collection across CNC, torque, and test-stand equipment

B How PlantPulse helps

Precision fastening & assembly capture

Collect and validate precision process data such as fastening torque (Atlas Copco Open Protocol).

CNC machining data capture

Collect CNC machining parameters directly with the FANUC FOCAS driver, keeping per-part machining history as data.

Full traceability

Trace parts, processes, and test history end to end with ontology and work orders — and back-trace affected lots on quality issues.

Loss-free collection

A store-and-forward buffer (500K points) preserves test and process data through network outages.

Quality data assurance

Support compliance with long-term time-series retention and audit trails.

Inspection & test report apps

Build test-result lookup and inspection-report screens with Studio, no coding, and deploy them to quality teams.

C Where it applies

Precision machining line

Collect CNC machining parameters over FOCAS to build per-part machining history and alarm on out-of-spec conditions immediately.

Fully recorded machining conditions

Assembly & fastening

Map fastening-torque data onto work orders per part and contain deviations right on the line.

Real-time fastening quality verification

Test & inspection cells

Preserve test-stand time series without loss and generate inspection reports automatically.

D FAQ

What can we produce for a quality audit?

Lot-level queries across the ontology history linking parts, processes, equipment, and tests — plus long-term time series and audit-trail records.

Can it work with our existing QMS and MES?

Yes. It integrates over REST APIs — pulling work orders down and pushing process and quality data back. It reinforces the equipment-data layer rather than replacing your systems.

Can older test equipment be connected?

42 industrial protocol drivers read heterogeneous equipment directly, and for devices without standard interfaces we design signal-capture retrofits alongside.
