Steelhead Technologies Revolutionizes NADCAP with Fully Digital Production and Automated Certification Management

United States - October 21, 2023 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

Steelhead Technologies, a pioneer in metal finishing job shop software, is proud to announce a groundbreaking leap in modernizing the Nadcap certification management process. With a rich history of innovation, Steelhead is spearheading the transformation of this traditionally paper-based and error-prone sector by introducing state-of-the-art digital systems and intelligent automation through its Certification Scanner Line. These advancements are set to enhance data accuracy, industry compliance, and the overall quality and safety standards of the aerospace sector, while dramatically reducing costs for metal finishing shops. 

Rising Above Manual Processes and Margins of Error

The Nadcap industry has historically grappled with labor-intensive, error-prone paper-based systems that often leave room for costly inaccuracies. A 2020 Nadcap survey found that 30% of aerospace suppliers admitted to the limitations of manual data entry and record-keeping processes. Even though seldom spoken aloud, practices like "pencil whipping" and falsified data have been persistent issues, casting shadows over industry compliance and quality assurance.

“Our paper travelers have plenty of pencil whipping,” explained one Nadcap-certified job shop. “The way it is run with heavy manual intervention requires substantial data manipulation,” he explained as he adjusted an unintentionally extended soak time into the Nadcap parameters. “We are looking forward to automating all of this, with timers and alerts in a digital system to meet the standards set by Nadcap and improve our overall quality.”

Steelhead's Technological Revolution

Steelhead, with a firm commitment to enhancing industry standards, is leading the charge in the digital transformation of Nadcap compliance. The innovative technology is poised to eliminate the errors, inefficiencies, and vulnerabilities that have plagued the industry for far too long. With a digitized plant management platform, gone are the days of preparing paperwork for pre-audits that are seldom analyzed. No more hiring multiple people to own this process internally.

Everything is done at the click of a button with a user-friendly, integrated system. “Certifications are literally just button clicking now,” explained Sam Pugliese, General Manager at Anchor Bay Powder Coating. “It [Steelhead] streamlines everything so, so fast.” Anchor Bay Powder Coating was a part of the Steelhead certification management pilot program, benefiting from the system within hours.  Steelhead has since rolled this feature out to all partners across North America with the option to deploy the scanner line to track Nadcap data.

Data Accuracy and Compliance Effortlessly Achieved

According to a 2021 Deloitte study, companies embracing digital technologies in aerospace and defense manufacturing have witnessed a staggering 40% reduction in data-related errors. Steelhead's Nadcap Scanner not only streamlines data entry but also employs advanced algorithms and machine learning to ensure impeccable data accuracy. The systems are designed to flag anomalies and deviations from industry standards, thus enhancing compliance without human intervention. 

A Competitive Edge for the Aerospace Industry

Early adopters of Steelhead's revolutionary technology gain a competitive edge in the aerospace sector. The Boston Consulting Group reports that companies embracing automation experience 2.5 times more revenue growth than their counterparts. With Steelhead's Certification Scanner Line, Nadcap-accredited businesses can offer faster turnaround times, higher quality, lower costs, and greater flexibility in quoting jobs. This translates into attracting more customers and retaining existing ones, as demonstrated by the remarkable success stories.
