production control for

composite manufacturing

track every layer and

ensure every outcome

materials compliance

Composite companies need complete records of use for every composite material and a way to control the use of those in production, both in record-keeping and time-out-of-storage to actual compliance to the part specification. This is impossible to do in a paper-based environment. Composite materials are finicky, making composite manufacturing art and science. Non-conforming work is part of regular production and rework is natural. Material usage must be tracked to the genealogical record of the part, to the material itself, the number of times that material has been used and the total time it's been out of refrigeration or open.

Quantum enforces these quality checks, directs accurate workflow and delivers compliance at every stage of production. We have 29 years of experience ensuring that composite companies have the Production Control they require for compliance. Maintain all of your certifications including your MSDS sheets, ISO 9001 and AS 9100 compliance with a platform that's ready to install today and use tomorrow.

Complete Production Control for Production Operations in Composite Manufacturing. Quantum.

performance monitoring for composite manufacturing excellence

With built-in performance dashboards, reporting, and real-time data capture from the shop floor, you can:

✔ Monitor order completion and cycle adherence in real time

✔ Evaluate team and individual output by shift, job, or work center

✔ Forecast staffing needs around specialized layup or curing operations

✔ Ensure audit readiness with traceable, time-stamped activity logs

✔ Maintain control over time-sensitive cure cycles and technician handling to reduce costly scrap

process engineering

From control of materials through every stage of building your parts, Quantum supports you entire composite manufacturing process. Whether you're layering carbon fiber or applying finishing treatments, Quantum ensures each process step is executed according to spec.

material tracking

Capture the use-by date and the time out of the freezer for each of your carbon sheets. Quantum ensures traceability and compliance at every stage, automatically flagging expired materials before they impact production.

work certification

Record every composite lot on every part automatically. Quantum validates both the material certifications and operator credentials before work begins, ensuring only qualified technicians handle critical operations.

non-conformance resolution

When a non-conformance issue is detected, Quantum routes the issue to the appropriate people in real-time. Approved rework plans are generated and pushed directly to the responsible teams, ensuring corrective action is prompt, documented, and repeatable.

work records

Quantum captures a detailed, automated record of every step in your production process from engineering to final inspection. Every user, interaction, material change, task completion, and sign-off is logged and time-stamped, giving you an auditable trail for each part, supporting not just compliance but improving accountability and continuous improvement.
