GroundControl
Generate, review, and analyze AS9102 reports
GroundControl is quality and first article inspection software for aerospace, defense, automotive, life sciences, machining, and PCB/EMS manufacturers. It addresses the manual work involved in reading PDF drawings, entering characteristics into spreadsheets, and assembling inspection reports, replacing fragmented tools with a single platform for generating, reviewing, and analyzing inspection data.
The platform parses text from PDF drawings, auto-balloons and extracts characteristics from scans and markups, and flags confidence levels for one-click corrections. It supports Feature Control Frame extraction and tolerance logic, and exports to AS9102C, PPAP, Net-Inspect, Excel, and custom templates. GroundControl centralizes supplier submissions, validates them against flow-down requirements, and aggregates inspection results across suppliers and parts. Integrations include Hexagon, Zeiss, Keyence, GChub, Net-Inspect, Excel, and PDF. AI-assisted review suggests corrections with built-in approval flows. The platform is available in a government-cloud deployment on AWS GovCloud (US) with FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency for the AS9102/FAI and PO Review modules, and supports customers pursuing CMMC 2.0 requirements.
GroundControl is packaged by facility rather than by license, with unlimited users included at a single price. Support is provided at no additional cost through in-app, email, and phone channels.
