What teams use it for

Incoming inspection

Automate mill-cert checking at goods-in. Reject out-of-spec heats before they enter stock.

Lab certification

Validate XRF, OES, and ICP results against AMS/ASTM limits in one call. Attach PASS/FAIL to reports.

Procurement

Verify supplier certs match purchase orders. Flag near-limit readings for review before release.

ERP & PLM integration

Embed live spec ranges in your ERP item master. Keep one source of truth for material grades.
