Cost of Manual Work — Aerospace and Defense

See what repetitive manual work is costing Aerospace and Defense teams each year — where certification cycles take years; every design change triggers a paperwork avalanche across DO-178C, DO-254, AS9100, and FAA/EASA evidence packs.

What this means for Aerospace and Defense

  • Certification cycles take years; every design change triggers a paperwork avalanche across DO-178C, DO-254, AS9100, and FAA/EASA evidence packs.
  • Configuration management across decades-old platforms still relies on PDM systems that were modern in 2003.
  • MRO turnaround time is the operational pain point — aircraft on ground (AOG) costs are catastrophic and parts demand forecasting is largely manual.

Where it pays to act

  • Predictive maintenance on aircraft and platform fleets using sensor and inspection data.
  • Document understanding across cert packages, technical orders, and supplier quality records.
