What does drawing-to-floor look like in hours?
Aerospace shops don’t need another MES.They need a system that knows the physics.
Drawing → floor in hours.
A new RFQ drops at 11pm. Part-IQ pulls the geometry envelope from the PDF in under two minutes. Plan-IQ stages the operation order against your machine list. Toolpath-IQ runs deflection and chatter stability. Inspect-IQ generates the DMIS. By morning you have a defendable quote — not a guess.
Cycle times your floor calibrated.
Plan-IQ ships with a baseline formula, then learns. Every operator correction, every CNC controller log, every G-code post-processor estimate folds back into per-(opType, material, machine) EWMA multipliers. After 50 parts your formula is shop-truth, not vendor-truth.
Physics-validated, not just sequenced.
Toolpath-IQ doesn't just order operations. It runs tool-deflection physics, chatter stability lobes, surface-finish prediction (Ra / Rz) per material family. If a part isn't makeable on the machine you bid, you find out before you commit — not after the first scrap.
Six engines.
One pipeline.
Each app is a real engine, not a marketing slide. They share a common compliance posture, a common geometry model, and a common cycle-time calibration loop. Use one or stack all six — Setup-IQ is the spine that wires them together.
Part-IQ
PIQPDF / STEP geometry extraction. Reads physical envelope, features (holes, pockets, bores, BC patterns), tolerances. 56 adversarial probe tests catch hallucinated dimensions before they corrupt your quote.
- PDF / STEP / SLDPRT / CATPart
- Auto-clamp impossible depths
- Validated on aerospace-prime drawings
- Confidence-aware envelope synthesis
Plan-IQ
PLANOperation sequencing with crowdsourced cycle-time calibration. Per-(op, material, machine) EWMA multipliers learn from your floor — your formula gets sharper with every part you run.
- PIQ-EDIT Phase 4 actuals loop
- Material-aware honing thresholds
- Part-class-aware lathe ordering
- Editable per-op cycle times
Toolpath-IQ
TPIQPhysics validation, not just sequencing. Tool deflection, chatter stability lobes, surface-finish prediction (Ra / Rz) per material family. Catches unmakeable geometries before they hit the floor.
- Stability-lobe chatter assessment
- 3D deflection diagrams
- Turret sequence optimization
- Production economics panel
Fixture-IQ
FIQWorkholding rules from part geometry + material. Soft-jaws / stock-allowance / tailstock decisions resolved at run-time, not by tribal knowledge passed between generations of machinists.
- Soft-jaws decision (FIX-IQ-402)
- Stock allowance (FIX-IQ-503)
- Tailstock strategy
- Datum transfer warnings
Inspect-IQ
INSPCMM orchestration + DMIS program generation. k=2 measurement uncertainty, blockout zones, material-lock probe strategy. First-article inspection in hours, not weeks of probe-path tinkering.
- GD&T tolerance intelligence
- DMIS / GQ-COBOT generation
- Measurement uncertainty (k=2)
- Blockout zones for FAI
Material-IQ
MATIQPhase 1: 30 aerospace alloys classified — A286, 17-4PH, Inconel 718, Ti-6Al-4V, G10/FR-4, more. UNS + AMS specs + machinability index. Air-gap-friendly TS registry, no DB calls. Phase 2 (371 alloys) in flight.
- 30 canonical alloys, Phase 1
- AMS / UNS / temper coverage
- Machinability index per alloy
- Phase 2: 371 entries in flight
SIX THINGS NOBODY ELSE SHIPS
Built for the buyer other tools can’t serve.
Every signature feature below is built and in the product today — not roadmap, not slideware. Air-gap deployable, defense-compliant, indexed against 107K verified suppliers. None of them require an external LLM.
Sealed Drop
ITAR drawings literally cannot leak.
When a buyer drops a CUI / ITAR / EAR drawing, the platform detects the marking client-side BEFORE any network call. Files are parsed locally; the supplier cohort pre-filters to ITAR-registered + US-citizen-owned shops; a tamper-evident audit hash proves the file never crossed a network boundary.
Cloud quoting marketplaces physically cannot ship this — their LLMs live in someone else's cloud.
Living Packet
Sourcing Packets answer their own staleness question.
Every signed Sourcing Packet PDF stays connected to its vendor cohort. When a cert expires, a contract awards, or a sanction signal hits, the packet flags itself as stale and one click regenerates a v2 with a "Changes since v1" diff cover — same SCIQ-SIG hash chain, parent-linked.
Sourcing analysts get asked "is this still accurate?" every Monday — the packet now answers itself.
Cohort Counterfactuals
What you're choosing AGAINST, not just what you asked for.
Below every ranked-result, the agent surfaces three perturbed-filter previews — "Drop AS9100 → +89 shops. Add NADCAP → −41 (only 6 remain). Production-capable only → top 3 holds, ranks 4-8 reshuffle." Possible only because all 107K suppliers are indexed locally and PVSE rank is microseconds-fast.
Off-the-shelf federal-data analytics tools cannot do this. Turns the chat from search box into negotiation partner.
Sourcing Lanes
Industrial reachability, drawn live as you constrain.
The hero globe reacts to every filter the buyer toggles. Non-matching dots dim to 12%; the surviving cohort pops; a faint convex-hull polygon traces the geographic "lane" of capability. Add "AS9100 + Texas + Inconel" → the lane tightens to nine dots with arcs to the buyer's plant. Exportable as a PNG for the procurement memo.
A contracting officer sees their surge-capacity geometry for the first time.
Offline Proof
The Sourcing Packet proves itself on a disconnected machine.
Every exported PDF ships with a companion .sig.json sidecar — a SHA-256 of the rendered bytes plus an HMAC chain over the structural payload. A contracting officer verifies it on an air-gapped SCIF workstation with a standalone Node-builtins CLI: no internet, no npm install. One number edited in Acrobat and verification fails loudly.
Competitors hand you a PDF you have to trust. This one is checkable offline, by them, on their hardware.
Print Reader
A 1989 scanned defense print becomes a vetted supplier cohort.
Drop a flat image-only PDF — the scanned, no-embedded-text drawings DLA holds by the million. Local OCR plus a DSCC / CAGE-aware title-block parser lifts part number, material, and tolerances; the equipment model derives the required machining families; the supplier cohort is matched. Entirely on-prem — no cloud OCR, no external vision model, no LLM.
Every legacy obsolescence part lives as a scanned image. Nobody else reads them without shipping the file to a cloud.
14 jobs in progress. 16-hour window.
Below: Plan-IQ’s production schedule against a real machine list — DMG, Haas, Mazak, Star, Citizen, Okuma, Sodick, Makino, Studer, Trumpf, Zeiss, Hexagon, Flow Mach. Color-coded by urgency. The vertical line is the now-time. Every bar is a real op signature with material + machine + actual-time multiplier folded in.
Built for the shops who lose weekends to spreadsheets.
Bid 40 RFQs/month. Lose 3 days/week to manual routing. Estimator quits in Q4. Part-IQ ingests the drawing, Plan-IQ stages the ops, Margin-IQ closes the price — in hours.
Bid Inconel 718 with aluminum cycle times. Lost the program AND the margin. Plan-IQ's material-aware multipliers know A286 cuts at 32% of 6061 feed-rates and bid accordingly.
First-article costs 40 hrs/part on a new geometry. CMM is manual, probe paths are guesses. Inspect-IQ generates DMIS from the same geometry envelope Part-IQ already extracted.
Bid this part assuming a mill that's booked for 8 weeks. Now chasing a sub-vendor at 2x the cost. Plan-IQ shows the schedule before the quote leaves, not after the contract signs.
Cycle-time variance from operator / tool / lot kills forecasting. Every quote carries a 30% buffer. PIQ-EDIT Phase 4 closes the loop — actual times feed back, multipliers tighten.
Compliance certs buried in email + paper notebooks. Audit week is two weeks of stress. Material-IQ + Compliance-IQ surface the cert chain on every quote line.
Cleared at the surface that matters.
No cloud AI. No external model dependencies. No customer drawing ever leaves your enclave. The platform’s decision layer is auditable code, not a model someone else trained — and every supplier in the database is a verified federal-register identity.
