Paper travelers, binders, and manual sign-offs still run high-value work across much of aerospace. They hold up until volumes grow and the cost of one skipped step becomes an $80,000 scrapped part and a test rig offline for weeks. That was the inflection point for Test Devices by SCHENCK.

Join leaders from the team for a firsthand look at how they replaced paper with connected digital workflows in six months, increasing testing volume by 50%, cutting administrative work by 79%, and reaching continuous AS9100 audit readiness without adding headcount.

This webinar will discuss:

  • What it took to grow annual testing volume from roughly 8,000 to 12,000 parts without adding admin headcount
  • How enforced digital routing protects serialized parts where operations cannot be skipped
  • How in-process inspection, calibration verification, and automatic nonconformance holds catch quality issues before they travel downstream
  • A practical sequence for rolling out digitization incrementally, delivering value early without disrupting production
