Benefits for quality managers

Reduce resubmissions and first-pass escapes

Combine auto-ballooning, OCR tuned for engineering drawings, CMM imports, and pre-submission validation to catch common package issues early.

Build an audit-ready reporting thread

Keep FAI data, certs, approvals, corrective actions, and exports connected in one searchable record for faster customer and audit reviews.

Scale quality reporting without adding admin overhead

Standardize templates and workflow controls across programs, customers, and suppliers with a per-facility model that supports unlimited users.

AdvancedPCB case study

AdvancedPCB increased FAI throughput by 156%, trained new operators in under 30 minutes, and saw ROI in less than one month with GroundControl.

  • Review how they moved from a pilot to multi-facility rollout after month one.
  • See workflow changes that reduced manual corrections and improved reporting throughput.
