A real-time manufacturing intelligence platform: Meshsan MES.
How we replaced paper, spreadsheets, and verbal handoffs with one audit-ready system for an aerospace-grade manufacturer.
Meshsan needed software built around their shop floor, not a vendor's assumptions.
Overview
Meshsan is a precision manufacturer operating in the aerospace and defense supply chain, where full part traceability and audit-ready quality records are not optional but a condition of doing business.
Meshsan needed a manufacturing execution system built around the exact way their shop floor actually runs, not around a vendor's assumptions.
Off-the-shelf enterprise platforms were too heavy, too expensive, and too rigid for their workflow, while paper and spreadsheets could not carry the traceability burden that AS9100 and AS9102 demand. So we built one from the ground up: an end-to-end, real-time manufacturing intelligence platform engineered for compliance, visibility, and scale.
The Challenge
Like most manufacturing operations of its size, Meshsan was running critical production on paper, spreadsheets, and verbal handoffs, a setup that quietly leaks traceability, quality, and efficiency every day.
Work orders, material lots, and production entries recorded by hand, leaving data scattered, easily lost, and impossible to verify.
The AS9100 and AS9102 traceability chain assembled manually, risking errors, delays, and lost orders during audits.
No real-time visibility into which machine ran which operation, so managers decided late on incomplete data.
Heavyweight enterprise systems too costly and rigid to fit the way the shop floor actually operates.
One system, from quote to invoice.
We mapped how Meshsan actually runs before writing a line of code, then built a modular platform that puts the entire flow on one role-based, real-time system: Quote to Order to Work Order to Production to Finishing to Shipment to Invoicing.
Work Orders, Production & Delivery
The full path, from work order through finishing to shipment, on one connected flow.
Raw Materials & Inventory
Lot-level stock tracked from intake all the way to consumption.
Quality & NCR
Nonconformance capture wired straight into the traceability chain.
Calibration & Maintenance
Equipment readiness tracked alongside live production.
Accounts & Invoicing
Quote to invoice without ever leaving the system.
Reports, 3D Viewer & Dashboard
Real-time visibility across the entire floor.
Engineering, not installation.
This was not the configuration of existing software. Several parts of the platform required solving genuine technical uncertainty in how manufacturing data actually behaves.
Chain-aware analytics engine
An original algorithm that computes true finished-part yield across scrap, finishing, and loss in multi-operation work orders. No off-the-shelf standard exists for it.
Automated AS9102 traceability graph
The chain from raw material lot to shipment is modeled automatically, and First Article Inspection documents are generated from it.
AI forecasting in low-data conditions
Models for production pace, delivery risk, and scrap deviation, with anomaly detection adapted to run reliably on sparse shop-floor data.
Adaptive data architecture
A flexible data model lets each workshop's workflow be configured without writing new code, engineered for scale.
Numbers that survive an audit.
The bottom line.
Meshsan moved from paper, spreadsheets, and verbal tracking to a single, audit-ready system that captures every part's full history, predicts production and delivery risk before it happens, and gives management real-time visibility into the floor.
The result is a domestic, AS9100-compliant digital backbone purpose-built for the aerospace and defense supply chain: fast to deploy, locally supported, and built to scale.
The platform also carries a tailor-made CRM we wrote for Meshsan, a story of its own. The intelligence layer that grew on top of it, four prediction engines and a live digital twin, has a story of its own.
