Aerospace Industry

Aerospace Is Under Pressure - From Every Altitude

• Rising Regulation
  EASA, FAA and other regulatory bodies are increasing enforcement around traceability, part provenance, and unapproved parts (SUPs).
• Massive Part Lifecycle Complexity
  A single aircraft contains over 6 million parts - many of which are reused or transferred multiple times during their lifetime.
• Digital Product Passport (DPP) Mandates Are Coming
  Under the EU’s Sustainable Product Regulation, aerospace suppliers will soon need to provide complete transparency into material origin, usage history, and circularity paths.
• Counterfeit Threats Are Real
  The FAA has flagged thousands of counterfeit and undocumented parts in circulation - a major contributor to airworthiness incidents (Source: FAA Safety Alerts for Operators, SAFOs).

The Visibility Gap: Where Aerospace Risks Take Off

1. Untraceable Component Histories
   As aircraft parts move between OEMs, MROs, and resellers, documentation often gets lost or altered - putting safety at risk.
2. Disconnected Ownership Chains
   From leasing companies to military applications, many asset transfers happen without a digital trail.
3. Manual Paperwork = Inefficiency
   Maintenance logs, part certifications, and approvals are still largely paper- or spreadsheet-based.

QED Vault: Ground Control for Aerospace Authenticity

QED Vault transforms aerospace parts into traceable, verifiable, and digitally connected assets using Digital Product Passports. Each component receives a secure digital identity that can be scanned, updated, and verified throughout its life - across multiple owners and use cases.

With QED, you can:

• Instantly verify part authenticity and service history
• Digitally register every transfer of ownership or use
• Automate documentation for EASA/FAA compliance
• Track material origin, usage, and end-of-life datafor ESG reporting

From Manufacturer to Sky to Scrap - QED Stays With the Part

QED’s blockchain-secured infrastructure ensures that part records are:

• Tamper-proof
• Globally accessible by approved stakeholders
• Continuously updatable as new data emerges (e.g. maintenance, recalls, ownership)

This eliminates the ambiguity surrounding:

• Unapproved parts
• Improper installations
• Missed inspections
• Delays in documentation

Proven Outcomes That Scale with Altitude

Aerospace firms using QED Vault have seen:

• 80% reduction in documentation time during inspections
• Enhanced compliance with EASA/FAA audits
• Greater resale confidence among leasing companies and secondary operators
• Lower risk of grounding due to record discrepancies

Whether you're an OEM, MRO, or leasing company, QED helps you close the loop on every asset’s journey.

Command and Control Doesn’t End at the Runway

Aerospace is about precision, trust, and longevity - and those principles shouldn’t disappear once a component leaves your facility. With QED Vault, your parts remain part of your ecosystem for decades, not just for delivery.

Don’t Just Certify a Part. Certify Its Entire Journey.
