HOW ION HELPS

  • Regulatory Compliance: Achieve compliance with the exacting standards set by regulatory bodies. ION is designed to monitor data and produce documentation needed to comply with stringent aerospace regulations including AS9100, ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations), and FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) standards.
  • Traceability and Serialization: Track every component and assembly throughout the production process and beyond for quality control, safety, and compliance purposes. Quickly identify defects – while they’re still in your control – and manage supplier quality accordingly.
  • Complex Manufacturing: Create digital visual work instructions to support complex manufacturing processes such as composites manufacturing, precision machining, and assembly of intricate components.
  • Data Observability: Track inspections and audits, issues, non-conformances, and corrective actions directly in ION. Share dashboards across the organization to keep stakeholders aligned and aware of changes to delivery delays and impacted timelines.
  • Cybersecurity Measures: Safeguard sensitive customer and IP data with robust cybersecurity measures through hosting with AWS GovCloud or Azure Government.
  • Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO): Extend the operational life of assets and optimize maintenance schedules while ensuring the safety of your end-users. Assemble and disassemble parts and put them back together exactly as they were thanks to a detailed, accurate as-built BOM.
