The standard is zero defects. We help you get there.

Aerospace manufacturing and MRO operates at the highest possible standard of quality and traceability. Nothing advances without a record behind it.

The cost of the gap

The expertise is retiring. The fleet is not.

Aerospace pays twice for the gap: grounded aircraft today, and the knowledge walking out with a retiring workforce.

The work

Rigour that has to survive the audit.

AS9100D certification, NADCAP special process compliance, and FAA Part 21 documentation requirements demand meticulous records, controlled procedures, and complete audit trails. Visor is built for this level of rigour, bringing AI-assisted quality and procedure management to aerospace production and maintenance.

Technicians work from controlled instructions that cannot drift out of revision. Inspection happens against the drawing, not from memory. Travellers, first article records, and non-conformance reports assemble as the work is performed.

Above the individual task, the operation gets coordinated. Camera feeds, bay and tooling sensors, and the controls on the automated cells are joined into one live picture, so a hazard on the floor is seen while it can still be prevented, and an aircraft waiting on a part, a tool, or a buy-off is visible before it becomes tomorrow’s delay. Safety and throughput improve for the same reason: nobody is deciding from a fragment.

The result is a shorter path from work performed to work proven, and an audit that reads the same as the shop floor.

Compliance

Every step traceable to a person, a part, and a revision.

Visor supports AS9100D quality management system requirements, NADCAP compliance documentation, FAA Part 21 and Part 145 MRO records, and first article inspection traceability, with automated records generated at the point of work.

The challenge

An AS9100D work package can carry more paperwork than labour. Technicians finish the job, then spend the last hour of the shift transcribing what they did into the traveller, and every gap between the work and the record becomes a finding at the next audit.

With Visor

Visor Document captures the work as it is performed (the step, the torque value, the part and serial, the inspector who bought it off) and structures it into the record the work package requires. Visor Capture holds the procedure itself version-locked to the current revision, so the traveller and the standard cannot drift apart between revisions.
