Build the complete traceability record your AS9100 audit requires — without manual reconstruction.
Connect ERP, MES, torque tools, NDT systems, and shop floor stations in one place. FlowFuse helps teams link process data to part serials at point of operation, automate NCR workflows, and standardize execution across programs and sites.
The Problem Today
-
Critical process data — torque values, weld energy, NDT results — is collected at each operation but never automatically linked to the serialized part or build record, leaving teams to reconstruct it manually for every audit or in-service event.
-
Non-conformances are reported verbally or on paper, disposition decisions are made informally, and containment scope is determined without full part-serial traceability context.
-
The same manufacturing process is executed across multiple programs and plants, but each site builds its own version — making standardization and audit readiness costly to maintain.
What You Get with FlowFuse
-
One platform to connect OT data (CNC machines, torque tools, weld controllers, NDT systems) with IT systems (ERP, MES, CMMS, quality management).
-
Low-code automation built on Node-RED so engineers can ship and iterate flows without vendor lock-in or specialist IT.
-
Dev/test/prod environments to safely roll out standardized workflows and enforce change control across programs and sites.
Key Outcomes for Aerospace Manufacturers
Eliminate manual build record assembly with process data captured and linked to part serials at point of operation — audit-ready on demand, not built manually per request.
Accelerate NCR containment and response with automated NCR workflows that route, hold, and trigger disposition with full part-serial context attached.
Reduce unplanned downtime on capital equipment with condition-triggered CMMS work orders created before failure occurs.
Deploy standard work across programs and sites from a single controlled platform — changes propagate instantly to all deployed instances.
Use Cases
Process data capture and real-time build record linkage — torque tool, weld controller, and oven data captured via OPC-UA or MQTT and linked automatically to part serial and work order, eliminating manual transcription from safety-critical records.
NCR and containment workflows — quality events trigger automated routing to quality engineers, initiate hold with full part-serial context, and enforce disposition approval gates before release or scrap.
Work order release and engineering change management — ECNs propagate automatically from ERP/MRO to all affected shop floor stations, with mandatory acknowledgment before work continues.
Used by aerospace and defence manufacturing teams to standardize operations and maintain AS9100 traceability on top of Node-RED
