AS9102 Software for Machine Shops
GroundControl helps machining teams finish FAIRs faster with fewer escapes by connecting drawings, GD&T, CMM results, and exports in one workflow.
Built for machine-shop quality teams that need floor-speed execution and customer-ready documentation.
- Auto-balloon drawings and extract characteristics in minutes
- Capture GD&T, threads, and tolerances with less manual cleanup
- Import CMM results from common metrology systems
- Export AS9102, Net-Inspect, Excel, and customer templates
Auto-balloon + tolerance capture
Go from drawing to characteristic list in minutes while applying bilateral, unilateral, and limit tolerances automatically.
GD&T + thread recognition
Capture ASME Y14.5 control frames, datum schemes, and thread callouts automatically with less manual interpretation.
CMM integration
Map CMM exports directly to characteristic rows in seconds.
and more...
ProShop + MES/ERP data import
Use ProShop-ready exports and import generic MES/ERP CSV or Excel files with less re-keying.
Multi-sample + inspection history
Record multiple samples per characteristic and reuse inspection structures across first article, in-process, and repeat jobs.
Export anywhere your customers need
Submit to AS9102, Net-Inspect, Excel, and customer-specific templates.
What customers say
Feedback from teams using GroundControl in production.
“GroundControl is a game-changer. It's cut our FAI times by 50-70%.”

Why inspection is hard in machining
Machining teams are expected to move fast and still produce perfect documentation. The friction usually comes from disconnected steps: drawing review in one place, CMM data in another, then FAIR cleanup at the end.
GroundControl connects drawing, characteristic, tolerance, result, and export in one workflow so inspectors spend less time reconciling data.
- Drawings evolve faster than manual inspection plans can keep up.
- Dense GD&T and thread callouts are easy to misread under schedule pressure.
- CMM outputs often live outside the FAIR and need manual alignment.
- Export cleanup becomes a second job before submission.
- Auto-balloon drawing features in minutes.
- Capture ASME Y14.5 GD&T frames, datum references, and threads.
- Apply bilateral, unilateral, and limit tolerances consistently.
- Map CMM measurements to characteristic rows without manual alignment.
- Keep characteristic context intact through review and export.
From drawing to first-pass FAIR
Upload a print and GroundControl auto-balloons it, captures callouts, and applies tolerance logic directly into your inspection flow.
ProShop and MES/ERP connectivity
GroundControl supports ProShop-ready export workflows and generic MES/ERP imports from CSV or Excel so teams can bring key production context into inspection without starting from scratch.
For teams that want a deeper, first-class ProShop implementation, that integration will be covered on its own dedicated page.
