Based on the globally recognized ISO 9001 quality management system, the AS9100 standard reinforces manufacturing qualities, including full document traceability, strict risk assessment and controlled change management, tailored to aerospace, space and defense applications, which have a long product life cycle in high-risk operations.

Beyond ISO 9001: Certified to a Low-Tolerance Aerospace-Grade Quality Standard.
Compared to ISO 9001, which focuses on overall risk management, AS9100 offers complete traceability in design and manufacturing, with all changes documented and approved to ensure near-zero defects. It mandates end-to-end record keeping, enabling swift isolation of affected batches and rapid recalls.
The certification also applies FMEA and FTA risk management, shifting defect prevention into design and manufacturing, and requires strict configuration and change control to ensure all adjustments are fully traceable.

The standard provides three key benefits: increased efficiency through rapid problem identification, a lower error rate through early risk mitigation, and, as AS9100 is a globally recognized standard, it accelerates our adoption in international aerospace supply chains.

Boost Innovation in Robust Applications with Expanded AS9100 Portfolio: Advantech has implemented AS9100 standards across all its production lines in Taiwan, encompassing design transfer, locked manufacturing process parameters, batch traceability, and release controls.
As a certified demonstration product, the COM Express Compact Type 6 SOM-6884 A2 was manufactured under AS9100 certification, delivering aerospace-grade quality with clear documentation and traceability. To meet diverse requirements, other product lines will follow suit under AS9100, including the COM-HPC Mini SOM-M250 and the COM Express Compact Type 6 SOM-6886, along with other certified products, fulfilling the stringent demands of the aerospace, defense, and other high-reliability markets.
