AS9100 software that runs the shop floor — not just the document library.
AS9100 Rev D on the same platform that runs the routing. First Article Inspection (AS9102) at the workstation, key characteristic (KC) capture bound to the drawing revision, counterfeit-parts prevention per AS5553, NADCAP-aligned special-process evidence, and configuration control tied to serial and lot. The aerospace QMS an auditor and a Prime's SDR will both read end-to-end.
You're shopping for AS9100 software because your Primes keep flagging the same nonconformances and your paper FAI takes days.
AS9102 Forms 1/2/3 are Excel templates re-typed at final inspection
Key characteristics live on the drawing, not enforced at the step
Counterfeit-parts controls (AS5553) are supplier-cert PDFs in a folder
NADCAP surveillance surprises you every time
Configuration control drifts between the drawing rev and the traveler
ITAR-controlled work isn't gated by US-person status in the system
PPAP and FAI evidence gets reconstructed from three systems at delivery
The aerospace shop-floor workflow, modeled and enforced.
AS9102 FAI at the workstation
Forms 1 (part accountability), 2 (materials/processes) and 3 (characteristic accountability) generated from the routing and the drawing rev. Measurement captures push straight into Form 3. FAI package is a report extract, not a project.
Key characteristic (KC) capture
KCs from the drawing bound to the routing step. Measurement device (CMM, gage, torque tool) pushes readings directly. Out-of-tolerance = station lock and MRB workflow, not a cover-your-eyes signoff.
Counterfeit parts (AS5553)
Approved distributor list, CoC and CoA parsed at receipt, mismatch = block. High-risk EEE parts flagged for DPA. Every accepted lot has a defensible provenance chain.
NADCAP special-process evidence
Heat treat, chemical processing, NDT, welding, coatings — special-process runs captured as structured records with pyrometry, spec version, operator qualification and part-level acceptance.
Configuration + effectivity control
Drawing rev, BOM effectivity date, ECN cutover, deviation authorisations — one graph. Operators only see the effective rev for the build date; superseded revs are provably unreachable.
ITAR-aware RBAC
Steps, drawings, routings and eBR content gated by US-person / foreign-person attribute per USML category. Foreign-person access to ITAR-controlled tech data is a physical block, not a policy PDF.
MRB, waiver + escape workflow
Material Review Board, use-as-is, rework, scrap, repair-per-approved-repair — all under bound e-signature with customer notification workflow and effectivity tracking.
PPAP + FAI delivery package
Every element the Prime asks for — FAI Forms 1/2/3, CoC, CoA, measurement data, process capability (Cpk), control plan — generated as a signed package for delivery with the shipment.
What changes when aerospace operations have a real system.
- AS9102 FAI package delivers with the shipment, not two weeks later
- KC out-of-tolerance is caught at the station, not at final inspection
- Counterfeit-parts escape risk drops meaningfully at receipt
- NADCAP surveillance becomes a report, not a fire drill
- Prime supplier scorecard improves once escapes stop shipping
- ITAR audit prep collapses because access is gated in-system
Every AS9100 clause an auditor will ask about.
AS9100 Rev D (SAE)
Risk-based thinking (8.1.1), configuration management (8.1.2), product safety (8.1.3), prevention of counterfeit parts (8.1.4), FAI (8.5.1.3), control of production process changes (8.5.6) — all modeled natively.
AS9102 First Article Inspection
Forms 1/2/3 generated from routing + drawing rev, characteristic accountability, ballooned drawing linkage, delta FAI on change.
AS5553 Counterfeit EEE Parts
Approved distributor list, provenance chain, high-risk part flagging, DPA workflow, escape reporting to GIDEP.
NADCAP AC7004 / AC71xx
Special-process (heat treat, chem processing, NDT, welding, coatings) evidence with pyrometry, operator qualification, spec revision, and part-level acceptance.
DFARS 252.204-7012 + CMMC 2.0 (aware)
Access control, audit logging and encryption expectations aligned to the DFARS 7012 / CMMC 2.0 Level 2 practices most Primes now require of Tier-2 and Tier-3 suppliers.
AS9100 software, answered.
What is AS9100 software?
AS9100 software is the QMS system of record for an aerospace or defence manufacturer — configuration management, First Article Inspection (AS9102), key characteristic control, counterfeit-parts prevention (AS5553), NADCAP special-process evidence, MRB, PPAP and delivery-package generation — all tied to serial and lot under Part 11 e-signature. It replaces a documents-only QMS bolted onto a paper traveler.
Does V5 generate AS9102 FAI packages?
Yes — natively. Forms 1 (part accountability), 2 (materials/processes) and 3 (characteristic accountability) are generated from the routing and drawing revision. Measurement device readings push directly into Form 3. Delta FAI on drawing change is automatic.
How does V5 handle key characteristics (KCs)?
KCs from the drawing are bound to routing steps. The measurement device — CMM, gage, calibrated torque tool — pushes readings directly into the record. Out-of-tolerance triggers a station lock and MRB workflow; there is no cover-your-eyes signoff.
Does V5 handle counterfeit parts (AS5553)?
Yes. Approved distributor list, CoC and CoA parsing at receipt, provenance chain, high-risk EEE part flagging, DPA workflow and (where applicable) GIDEP escape reporting are all first-class.
Does V5 support ITAR-controlled work?
Yes. RBAC includes a US-person / foreign-person attribute per USML category. Foreign-person access to ITAR-controlled tech data — drawings, routings, eBR content — is a physical block in the system, not a policy PDF. On-premises deployment is available for sites that cannot host tech data in a multi-tenant cloud.
Does V5 handle NADCAP special processes?
Yes. Heat treat, chem processing, NDT, welding and coatings are captured as structured runs with pyrometry data, operator qualification, spec revision and part-level acceptance. Surveillance is a report extract, not a two-week reconstruction.
How long does implementation take?
Most Tier-2 / Tier-3 aerospace shops run their first AS9102-compliant FAI within 30–45 days. Full multi-cell rollouts including NADCAP special processes typically take 8–14 weeks depending on measurement-device integration count.
