If your auditor asked today which operator ran which process on which flight unit, would your MES answer, or would somebody have to go walk the floor with a clipboard?
A practical reference for the OT architecture behind satellite manufacturing, connecting equipment, production records, and business systems. Free. No sales call attached.
HillPoint Automation provides SCADA, MES, and OT systems integration. This reference guide explains the connections between equipment and business systems, including the data ownership, interfaces, and operational requirements to review for your facility.
You run manufacturing, manufacturing engineering, or production at a space company scaling from prototype to rate. You bought an MES, or you're about to, and you already know the real problem isn't the tool. It's that nothing on your shop floor is wired to it. Your PLCs, test stands, and environmental chambers are islands. Your traceability lives in spreadsheets and the heads of two senior techs. And the next AS9100 audit is on the calendar.
