Manufacturing · Software for aerospace fabrication companies

Record each weld, welder and formed panel against the assembly it went into.

Aerospace fabricators form sheet, weld ducting and frames, and rivet assemblies from thin aluminium, stainless and titanium. The software records the welder, the weld procedure, the filler lot and the inspection result for every joint, and ties formed panels and sub-assemblies to the drawing they were built to.

At a glance

Thin-gauge aerospace metalwork is cut on laser or turret, formed on press brakes or stretch presses, welded by qualified hands and inspected joint by joint. Distortion and rework are constant risks. The paper trail of hands and heats counts as much as the metal.

This software keeps one file per assembly. Sheet lot, flat pattern, forming steps, welder, procedure and filler wire lot are all there. So is the penetrant or X-ray result. When the customer asks a question, the answer is read straight off that file.

How the work runs today

A purchase order arrives for ducting, brackets, access panels or welded frames, with a drawing and a list of process specifications. The planner breaks the assembly into parts and sub-assemblies, and a work order is raised for each. Sheet is issued from stores with its certificate and cut to nest on a laser or turret press.

Flat blanks move to the press brake or the roll, where the first formed piece is held against its template. Welders follow a written procedure. They work only on joints they are qualified for. Filler wire is drawn by lot. Every seam is marked and logged.

Welded assemblies go for penetrant or radiographic checks, then for chemical treatment or paint at an outside vendor. Final inspection measures against the drawing and compiles a pack. Rework on a distorted frame is common, and every hour of it is recorded against the assembly and the cause, so the next quote is honest.

Where it breaks

What goes wrong for aerospace fabrication companies without a proper system.

Welder qualification is checked by memory

A foreman gives a joint to a welder he trusts. Nobody confirms that the welder’s qualification for that process and thickness is current.

Filler wire lots are not logged

Wire is drawn from a spool and used across several seams. A weld fails. The lot behind it is unknown.

Flat patterns and revisions drift apart

A drawing changes, but the nest on the laser still carries the old flat pattern, so panels are cut and formed, then found wrong at the jig.

Inspection results are filed by the part, not the joint

A frame has forty seams, but the penetrant report lists only the assembly number. Tracing a rejected seam to its welder takes an afternoon.

Rework hours vanish into the job

Straightening a distorted skin or regrinding a weld is not booked as rework. The quote looks fine. The margin does not.

What the software does

What we would build for aerospace fabrication companies.

Named the way your team already talks about the work. We start with whichever part the audit shows is costing you most.

Sheet lot and nest records

Log each sheet by certificate, thickness and lot, and record the nest that consumed it. Offcuts return to stores with their lot number intact.

Forming and press brake steps

Record each bend sequence, tool set and first-piece check against the template, so a formed panel is tied to the setup that made it.

Weld procedure and welder register

Hold weld procedures, welder qualifications and expiry dates, and stop a joint from being assigned to a welder whose qualification does not cover it.

Joint-level weld log

Mark each seam with welder, procedure, filler lot and date, and attach the penetrant or radiographic result to the exact joint.

Assembly and rivet records

Track sub-assemblies, fastener lots and rivet counts into the finished assembly, with a build record for each serial.

Rework and scrap capture

Log hours and cause for straightening, regrinding and rewelds, so a quote can be compared with what the assembly really cost.

Common questions

Questions aerospace fabrication companies ask before they call.

Can the system check a welder’s qualification before a joint is assigned?

Yes. Welder qualifications and expiry dates are held against each procedure and thickness range. A joint cannot be assigned to someone whose entry does not cover it.

Is filler wire traced by lot?

Yes. Wire drawn for a seam is recorded by spool and lot, and the joint carries that number. A failed seam therefore points to the wire used.

Does it handle both sheet forming and welded assemblies?

Yes. Formed panels, welded frames and riveted sub-assemblies each have their own routings. They meet on the assembly record that ships to the customer.

Can penetrant or X-ray results be stored per joint?

Yes. A result is attached to a numbered seam, with the inspector and date. The inspection method and acceptance rules come from your quality team.

What happens after I share my requirements?

An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.

How much will the software cost?

We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
