AI governance for Manufacturing.

AI that respects what is on your shop floor and in your vault — ITAR and export-control safeguards, ISO 9001 quality records, and trade-secret protection. Controlled technical data and design IP never leave your environment, and every access is on the record.

No deemed-export risk ISO 9001 quality records On-prem, zero data egress

AI that never becomes a deemed export

In an aerospace, defense, or advanced-manufacturing operation, the data an AI system would be most useful on is exactly the data you are least allowed to move. Technical data controlled under ITAR or the Export Administration Regulations cannot be released to a non-U.S. person or an unapproved environment, and pushing it to a foreign-operated model API can constitute a deemed export. We eliminate that exposure by running inference on-prem, so controlled data stays inside the boundary it is required to stay in.

The same architecture protects the IP that is not export-controlled but is still the company's crown jewels. Drawings, tolerances, process parameters, and formulations never reach an external vendor that could retain or train on them — which is what the reasonable-measures standard behind trade-secret protection demands. And because quality is its own regulator, the system writes ISO 9001 and AS9100-style records as it runs: who did what, on which revision, with what result.

Controls your export and quality leads can sign.

Each capability maps to a named obligation — ITAR, the EAR, ISO 9001 — not a generic security control.

01 / controlsSECURE
Manufacturing regime-mapped controls
Controls map to export-control and quality regimes — ITAR, the EAR, ISO 9001, AS9100 — so your technology control plan and quality management system extend over the AI layer.
  • ITAR / EAR access gating
  • Technology control plan alignment
  • ISO 9001 / AS9100 records
02 / inferenceCORE
On-prem / VPC inference
Inference runs inside your own controlled environment, so technical data and design IP are never transmitted abroad or to a third-party model — removing deemed-export and retention risk entirely.
  • No controlled-data egress
  • U.S.-person environment boundary
  • No vendor retention or training
03 / oversightSECURE
Audit trails & access governance
Retrieval is gated by role and authorization status, and every access to controlled data or IP is written to an append-only record your export and quality teams can audit.
  • Person- and nationality-aware access
  • Revision-level traceability
  • Append-only access trail

Where governance is non-negotiable in Manufacturing

The most valuable AI on the floor touches controlled or proprietary data — which is why governance has to come first:

  • Engineering and design support — AI over drawings and specs that may be ITAR-controlled and must never reach an unauthorized person or environment.
  • Quality and nonconformance — automation that produces ISO 9001 and AS9100 records with full revision traceability for audit.
  • Process and yield optimization — models trained on proprietary process parameters that have to stay inside the company as trade secrets.
  • Supply chain and export screening — AI that supports licensing and end-use decisions while keeping controlled technical data within the boundary.

Common questions.

How do you keep AI compliant with ITAR and export controls?

Technical data subject to ITAR or the EAR can only be accessed by authorized U.S. persons inside an approved environment — and sending it to a foreign-operated model API can be a deemed export. We run inference on-prem so that data never leaves your controlled environment, and we gate retrieval by person and nationality so the model only surfaces what a given user is cleared to receive.

Will an AI system protect our trade secrets and design IP?

Yes. Drawings, process parameters, and formulations stay inside your own infrastructure because inference never calls an external vendor that could retain or train on them. Access is role-scoped, and every retrieval is logged — so the reasonable-measures standard that underpins trade-secret protection is met by the architecture, not by policy alone.
