Audit-Ready at All Times

Compliance documentation automation for aerospace, defense, and medical device suppliers on the Space Coast. AI does the transcription work behind AS9102 first article inspection forms and quality records — your quality manager does the judgment. On-premises deployment for ITAR-regulated shops.

Sound familiar?

An FAI package eats an afternoon

Ballooning the drawing, transcribing every characteristic into Form 3, chasing material certs — hours of careful copying where one typo means rework with the customer.

Audit prep takes days

AS9100 surveillance audits mean days of pulling records, finding gaps, and back-filling traceability — overhead that produces zero parts.

ITAR rules out cloud tools

Most AI document tools ship your data to someone else's cloud. For ITAR technical data that's a non-starter, so regulated shops stay manual.

How it works

The compliance demo on this site generates an AS9102 FAI form from an uploaded drawing. A production deployment goes further:

  1. 1

    Drawing characteristic extraction

    AI reads the drawing and extracts every dimension, tolerance, note, and spec callout into a structured characteristic list — the raw material of Form 3.

  2. 2

    FAI form assembly

    Forms 1, 2, and 3 assembled per AS9102, with characteristics numbered and cross-referenced. Inspection results merge in from your CMM or manual measurements.

  3. 3

    Traceability records

    Material certs, process certs, and lot records linked to jobs automatically — so the answer to an auditor's question is a search, not an archaeology dig.

  4. 4

    On-premises for ITAR

    The entire pipeline — models included — runs on hardware inside your building. Technical data never crosses your network boundary.

The cost of manual compliance

A quality manager spending 4 hours per FAI package across 2-3 packages a week is 400+ hours a year of transcription — at the most expensive desk in the shop. Extraction-assisted FAI work typically cuts package time to 30-45 minutes, and audit prep shrinks from days to hours because the records were linked when the job ran.

Why this matters more on the Space Coast

Brevard County holds one of the densest concentrations of AS9100 shops in the country. The supply chains of NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin, Northrop Grumman, and L3Harris run through machine shops from Titusville to Palm Bay, which means FAI packages, surveillance audits, and ITAR controls are weekly realities here — not occasional events a shop can muddle through manually.

Density also means the usual shortcut is closed. ITAR technical data can't be shipped to a third-party cloud API, so the AI document tools the rest of the economy uses are off the table for half the work in this county. Local, on-premises delivery is the answer: I build and commission the extraction pipeline on hardware inside your building, walk your quality manager through it at their own desk, and when your customer's quality team or your registrar has questions about the system, I can be in your conference room the same week. Your QM keeps signing every package — the transcription work is what disappears. That distinction matters at audit time: the registrar's question is always about the process and the human judgment behind it, not the software that filled in the form numbers.

Common questions

Is this actually usable for ITAR-controlled work?+
Yes — that constraint shaped the architecture. Edge AI models handle vision and document reading entirely on-premises. No cloud APIs touch the technical data. Your data never leaves the building.
Does this replace our quality manager?+
No — it replaces their transcription work. Characteristic ballooning, form filling, and record chasing get automated; review, disposition, and sign-off stay human. The QM signs every package.
Which standards and forms does it cover?+
AS9102 Rev C first article inspection (Forms 1-3) is the core. The same extraction pipeline supports PPAP elements, in-process inspection sheets, and AS9100 record traceability — scoped per shop during the audit.
What does the AI need from us to get started?+
A handful of recent FAI packages and the drawings behind them. Setup starts by running the extraction against jobs you've already completed and comparing the output to the packages your quality manager actually shipped — differences become tuning items. That means the system is validated against your own historical work before it ever touches a live job, and your QM sees its accuracy firsthand.
