AI software for aerospace & defense

AI software for aerospace and defense suppliers.

AS9100 evidence, first articles that eat a day per drawing, calibration spreadsheets, ITAR rules. CitrusWeb builds software that keeps the paperwork audit-ready while the shop keeps cutting.

2–8 hrs
per drawing to complete an AS9102 first-article inspection package by hand
$3k–25k
to get ISO 9001 certified, before the manual evidence upkeep that follows
$50,100
per employee per year in regulatory cost at small manufacturers (NAM)

// Where AI helps in your shop

Where AI helps in aerospace & defense.

First articles without the all-day slog

AI-assisted print ballooning and Forms 1, 2 and 3 drafting, reviewed and signed by your quality engineer. Your QE owns the package; the software does the transcription.

Calibration that passes the audit

Gage records, due dates, and history in one place, instead of the spreadsheet that becomes a standing audit finding.

Evidence of competence, on file

Training and skills-matrix records that answer 6.2.2 before the auditor asks.

CAPA that actually closes

Corrective action is the most-cited area in external ISO audits. Workflows with owners and deadlines, not a Word form in a shared drive.

// What shops use today, and where it falls short
Manual FAI (print ballooning by hand)

First-article packages and Forms 1, 2, and 3 built by hand, drawing by drawing. It is skilled work aimed at transcription, and it competes with the quality engineer's real job.

Calibration spreadsheets

Gage due-dates in a spreadsheet become a standing audit finding. The record is only as current as the last person who remembered to update it.

Training matrix in Excel

Evidence of competence under clause 7.2 is a top citation area. A spreadsheet cannot show the auditor which revision each person was trained on, when the question comes.

QMS suites priced per user

Capable, but per-seat pricing punishes training more people, and heavy configuration means audit-readiness depends on discipline the tool does not enforce.

// Questions shops actually ask
Is CitrusWeb ITAR-compliant?+
We design for US hosting and access control from day one and scope ITAR requirements explicitly in discovery. What we commit to is written into your agreement, not implied.
Do you replace our QMS?+
We fill the gaps around it: FAI, calibration, training evidence, CAPA workflow. If you run a full QMS already, we integrate rather than duplicate.
Can the AI touch controlled data?+
Only within the boundaries set in your agreement. The AI assists and a human approves; access follows your export-control rules.
What does it cost?+
Flat monthly per shop. Compliance tooling priced per user punishes you for training more people; ours doesn't.
