QUALITY BUILT IN.NOT INSPECTED IN.
Quality can't wait until the end of the line. Connect981 connects nonconformance, first article inspection, and root cause analysis in one loop across engineering, production, and inspection.
Resolve issues faster.Stop defects from recurring.

Turn quality requirements intoconnected expert solutions
For teams working under AS9100, AS9102, and customer-specific quality plans, quality depends on fast containment, documented inspection, and corrective action that sticks.
Control nonconforming product
Alert teams in real time and route NCRs for disposition with photos and data attached.
Perform first article inspection
Auto-generate AS9102 reports linked to part history.
Investigate root causes
Guide teams through structured RCA using NC, FAI, and shop floor data.
Track corrective actions to closure
Follow every action from detection to closure with clear ownership.
Maintain quality records
Keep NCR, FAI, and RCA records linked to each part and ready for audit.
One continuous loopfrom detection to prevention
As programs and sites scale, quality processes need to run the same way everywhere. Manufacturers gain one connected system linking engineering, production, and inspection.

Standardize quality processes
Run NCR, FAI, and RCA the same way at every site.

Capture data at the source
AI-guided solutions collect the right data at the right time.

Connect your systems
Works alongside your ERP, MES, and PLM. No rip-and-replace.

Frequently asked questions
Does Connect981 replace our QMS?
Connect981 is an execution layer that works alongside your existing systems, including ERP, MES, and PLM. Quality solutions connect to the records already in those systems so every team shares the same data.
How long does implementation take?
Most teams deploy in days, not months, and scale across sites from there. Expert solutions are configured with a no-code builder, so quality teams can set them up without IT projects.
Which standards does it support?
Connect981 supports AS9100, AS9102 first article inspection, and customer-specific quality requirements.
How does AI help quality teams?
AI-guided solutions capture the right data at each step, automate reporting, and surface insights that speed up root cause analysis.
Can it run across multiple sites?
Yes. NCR, FAI, and RCA processes run the same way at every site, with full traceability across all of them.
Does it support Lean and continuous improvement?
Yes. Lean and continuous improvement tools are built into the solutions, so teams can eliminate waste and standardize fixes as they go.
