For aerospace and defense suppliers
Aerospace calibration software for AS9100, Nadcap, and defense supply chains
In aerospace and defense, one out-of-tolerance gage can put suspect parts on a flight-critical assembly. Primes and defense customers expect calibration records that trace back to national standards, survive AS9100 and Nadcap audits, and show exactly which parts each instrument measured. Axiospec is cloud calibration management software that keeps that history in one place. You log as-found and as-left readings with automatic pass/fail, issue PDF certificates, and keep a tamper-evident ledger you can hand an auditor in one click. Axiospec documents and organizes the work. Your registrar or auditor decides conformance.
Standards that apply in Aerospace & Defense
Calibration challenges in Aerospace & Defense
Traceability your primes can audit
When a gage drifts out of tolerance, you have to show which parts and lots it measured since its last good calibration. Aerospace primes flow AS9100 requirements down to you and expect that history on demand. Rebuilding it from spreadsheets during a source audit is slow and error prone.
Nadcap special processes
Nadcap audits of heat treating, NDT, chemical processing, and welding check that the pyrometers, gages, and test equipment behind each special process are calibrated, in date, and traceable. Missing or expired records turn into findings that stall your accreditation.
Tight tolerances and measurement risk
Flight-critical features leave little room, so measurement uncertainty and false-accept risk are real. You need to know the test uncertainty ratio for a measurement and apply guard bands before you call a part good.
Record integrity over long programs
Defense programs run for years, and DFARS-driven customers expect calibration records that cannot be quietly edited after the fact. You need a durable audit trail and clear sign-off on who performed and who approved each calibration.
Thousands of gages across sites and suppliers
A mature aerospace shop tracks thousands of instruments across multiple facilities and outside labs. Keeping every due date visible, and every out-for-calibration instrument accounted for, is hard without one system.
How Axiospec helps Aerospace & Defense teams
See what a drifted gage touched
When an instrument comes back out of tolerance, Axiospec gives you reverse traceability from that instrument, so you can scope the affected work instead of guessing. That is the history a prime or source auditor asks for.
As-found and as-left with automatic pass/fail
Record both readings on every calibration, let Axiospec flag pass or fail against your tolerance, and generate a PDF certificate. As-left proves the instrument was brought back into spec before it went back on the floor.
A tamper-evident record auditors trust
Every calibration writes to a tamper-evident, hash-chained ledger, and maker/checker e-signature captures who performed and who approved the work. For long defense programs, that is a durable trail you can defend, not a spreadsheet anyone can overwrite.
Measurement risk you can quantify
Metrology Insights shows the test uncertainty ratio, a reliability-based interval, and false-accept risk per instrument, so you can defend intervals and apply guard bands on tight aerospace tolerances instead of guessing.
Nothing slips before an audit
The Due Calendar surfaces due, due-soon, and overdue instruments, the Audit-Readiness Scorecard scores your program from 0 to 100, and multi-site rollup keeps every facility in one view. You walk into a Nadcap or AS9100 audit knowing where you stand.
Move your gage list over without the pain
Import from CSV, Excel, GAGEpack, or GAGEtrak yourself, or take the free white-glove migration. Native iOS and Android apps, QR scanning, printable labels, and voice logging keep calibrations moving on the shop floor.

Aerospace & Defense calibration software: common questions
Does Axiospec make us AS9100 or Nadcap compliant?
No. Axiospec is a documentation and workflow tool that helps you keep the calibration records, traceability, and audit trail those standards expect. Your registrar, Nadcap auditor, or customer decides conformance, not the software.
Can we start for free?
Yes. The Free plan is the full platform capped at 50 active assets, with unlimited users and no per-seat charge. When you outgrow it, paid plans start at $59 per month for 500 assets, and Professional and above add the REST API. You can also start a 14-day free trial with no signup friction and no credit card.
Can it handle multiple sites and thousands of gages?
Yes. Multi-site rollup gives you one view across facilities, the Due Calendar tracks every instrument's status, and you can bring your whole fleet over with self-serve import. Out-for-calibration instruments stay accounted for while they are at an outside lab.
Do you support the standards behind aerospace quality systems?
Axiospec supports calibration workflows behind AS9100, Nadcap, ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 9001, and more. It tailors fields to the standard you work to rather than enforcing or gating your data.
Axiospec is a documentation and workflow tool. It helps Aerospace & Defense teams produce clean, traceable, audit-ready calibration records; certification and conformance depend on your own processes, scope, and assessor.
