MES for Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing

BUILT FOR TRACEABILITY
WITHOUT THE
PAPER TRAIL.

Increase output, protect quality, and keep critical programs on schedule with production data you can trust across your entire operation. This is the next generation of MES for Aerospace and Defense.

THE PROBLEM

COMPLEXITY IS COSTING YOU CAPACITY.

Aerospace production is slowed by complexity across the operation. Short runs and constant changeovers create delays, while inspection, tribal knowledge, and compliance make it harder to keep people, equipment, and production running at full capacity.

YOU CAN’T INCREASE OUTPUT ON DISCONNECTED SYSTEMS.

CHANGEOVER DOMINATES THE SHIFT

Hundreds of active part numbers, short runs, constant setups. Setup is the largest controllable block of time on the floor, and in most plants it isn’t measured at all.

THE MATERIAL PUNISHES EVERY MISTAKE

A scrapped titanium or Inconel part carries four or five figures of material and machine time, plus the capacity that made it. Prevention is worth more here than in any other vertical.

THE RECORD IS A CONDITION OF THE WORK

AS9100 systems, first article requirements, and prime flow-downs demand a defensible record of what was made, when, on what, and by whom — and it can’t cost you throughput to produce.

BUILT FOR THE WAY
AEROSPACE ACTUALLY RUNS.

From prototype builds to high-volume production, aerospace and defense suppliers use MaximaOS to turn live machine and operator data into real-time execution that keeps programs on schedule.

Recover the hours between jobs.

Separate setup from run time, track both against routing standards, and alert quality when first article is ready. Measure time to production release by job, machine, and shift to recover valuable capacity across high-mix aerospace production.

FAI-image-2

Protect five figures per part.

Protect high-value parts by detecting tool load deviations before they cause failure. Track remaining tool life, plan long-cycle replacements, and hold feed or stop the machine to prevent scrap, spindle damage, and out-of-tolerance parts during lights-out production.

Protect the rating that wins awards.

Track every open job against plan with live production status and completion estimates based on actual performance. At-risk jobs surface early, while downtime is captured and ranked by cause, giving teams time to act before a delay becomes a missed commitment.

time updating

Find capacity before you buy it.

Unlock true capacity by machine and cell, identify what’s driving lost utilization, and compare demand against demonstrated performance. Plan ahead with real cycle and setup times, avoid unnecessary equipment purchases, and quote work with greater confidence in margin.

The record beneath your QMS.

Connect every part to its work order, operation, machine, operator, and shift as it’s made. Capture scrap, rejects, alarms, and process data in the same record, then send verified labor and part counts to your ERP with a complete audit trail.
ERP sync

The security review gets shorter.

Capture only operational machine data, not drawings, models, CAM programs, or ITAR technical data. ISO 27001 certified and independently audited, with GovCloud, US persons only access, SSO, encryption, and role based controls available.

See It In Action

At Pindel Global Precision, a finished setup meant paperwork on a shelf and a hope the quality tech saw it in time. Now a button press at the machine puts the job on a monitor in quality, and the AS9100 first article stops holding the spindle. THE MACHINE STOPS WAITING ON PAPERWORK.

TESTIMONIALS

THEY FOUND THE HOURS FIRST.

Aerospace and defense machining, where a first article gates every job and the most expensive equipment in the plant spends the shift waiting.

LAG MEASURES BECAME LEAD MEASURES.

"What we've driven towards with MachineMetrics is changing lag measures into lead measures, pulling the reporting as close to the action as possible so the information is actionable."

- Seth Albin, Birds Eye Holdings (Max Aerostructures)

FIRST ARTICLE, OFF THE CRITICAL PATH.

AS9100-certified, with first-article inspection wait time cut from hours. A button press at setup completion routes the job to quality, and MachineMetrics productized the custom workflow into native FAI.

DELAYS SEEN BEFORE THEY LAND.

"We can now predict potential delays and address them before they happen, which helps us maintain customer satisfaction and avoid giving customers any reason to go to a competitor."

- Michael Shreeve, BSc, MBA, Business Unit Manager
