Shelf life tracking, cure cycle documentation, and ply-by-ply travelers for prepreg layup, autoclave processing, and composite part production.
Prepreg materials have strict shelf life and cumulative out-time limits. If a roll expires in the freezer or exceeds its out-time on the floor, the material is scrap. Axis inventory tracks lot-level expiration dates so you know exactly how much life remains on every roll.
Autoclave cure cycles are defined by temperature ramp rates, hold times, pressure profiles, and vacuum levels. When this data lives in handwritten logbooks, it is difficult to search, impossible to trend, and easy to lose. Axis records capture cure cycle data digitally with pass/fail criteria.
A 40-ply composite part requires documenting each ply — orientation, material lot, debulk points, and inspector sign-off. Paper travelers get damaged, lost, or illegible. Axis build plan operations detail every layup step, debulk cycle, and cure profile in a digital traveler.
NADCAP audits for composites require demonstrating process control, material traceability, and personnel qualification records. Gathering this from scattered systems takes weeks. Axis keeps everything linked — material lots, process records, and audit trail — in one searchable system.
Inventory tracks every material lot with received date, expiration date, and supplier cert. For time-sensitive materials like prepreg, you always know what is in-life and what needs to be used or discarded.
Build plan operations detail every layup step, debulk cycle, and cure profile. Each operation has step-by-step instructions, material callouts, and estimated time — replacing paper travelers entirely.
The records module captures cure cycle data — temperature, pressure, vacuum level, hold time — with pass/fail criteria for each parameter. Records are linked to the work order, lot, and part number.
Every action is logged with user, timestamp, and record reference. The append-only audit trail demonstrates the process control and traceability that NADCAP and customer audits require.
Build plans carry revision history with owner, approver, and effective date. Process specification changes go through an approval workflow before they can be used in production.
Attach supplier certs, material test reports, and shelf life documentation directly to inventory lots. Pull them into the production record with a single link — no hunting through shared drives.
