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 which parts each instrument measured. Axiospec is cloud calibration management software that keeps the calibration side of that history in one place. That means every reading, certificate, and reference standard used. Which parts each gage measured stays in your own production records. You log as-found and as-left readings with an automatic out-of-tolerance check, 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 lists every recorded calibration that used it as the reference standard. That list is the first step in scoping the affected work. Which parts and lots each job touched stays in your own production records.
As-found and as-left with an automatic out-of-tolerance check
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 with the person who performed the work. Turn on maker and checker approval and an e-signature from the approver, and both are recorded too. 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.
See what is due before an audit
The Due Calendar surfaces due, due-soon, and overdue instruments, automatic reminders go out before a date passes, 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, voice logging, and instrument labels printed from the web app 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 instruments, with unlimited users and no per-seat charge. When you outgrow it, paid plans start at $59 per month for 500 instruments, and Professional and above add the REST API. Every new workspace also starts with 45 days on Professional, 1,500 active instruments, 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 the calibration form to the standard you work to, and by default it requires the fields that standard asks for before a calibration saves. An admin can relax that per workspace, and a brand new workspace is exempt until its first calibration is logged.
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.
