With AXE, compliance isn’t an extra project. It’s the natural outcome of how your shop floor works every day.
Traditional IT security protects your corporate network but ignores the actual production workflow. This leaves blind spots where your most valuable assets live:
When this production data isn’t protected, you face both security risk and compliance failure.
Confirm who is running the job, what machine is being used, and which files are accessed. No operator or CNC runs without clearance.
Release the right CAD/CAM or G-code file only when needed and only to the designated machine. This eliminates uncontrolled copies and shadow storage.
Monitor and record operator actions and machine performance in real time. Every movement, access, and output becomes part of a defensible compliance record.
At the end of the job, AXE removes sensitive files from the machine, locks the session, and generates an immutable audit trail — ready for CMMC or customer reviews.
Files move only where needed, when needed. Sensitive CAD, CAM, and G-code never linger or duplicate — eliminating uncontrolled copies and shadow storage.
Jobs run only when both operator and machine are authorized. Sensitive work stays locked to the right people and equipment, closing common gaps in shop-floor security. |
Operator and machine activity is logged in real time and fed directly into QA dashboards and compliance reports — so you’re always inspection-ready.
Every file access, job start, and command is verified, recorded, and cryptographically secured. No assumptions, no blind spots — security is enforced daily.
Each workflow generates tamper-proof, defensible audit artifacts. Whether for CMMC, DFARS, or customer quality reviews, compliance proof is built in.
AXE extends the ACE enclave to the shop floor with a layered trust boundary:
Alchemi Data doesn't bolt on security after the fact—we embed it into every step of your production lifecycle. From the moment your designer creates a drawing to the final G-code release on the shop floor, every action is contained, monitored, and aligned with compliance frameworks like CMMC, ITAR, and NIST 800-171.
File Intake & Segmentation The moment files enter your system, Alchemi automatically separates sensitive CAD drawings and G-code from routine documents. No manual sorting, no missed classifications—just intelligent segregation that creates a clean audit trail from day one, so compliance officers never have to guess where sensitive data lives.
Quorum Approval for File Release No rogue engineer can push unauthorized files to production. Our multi-person approval system requires both technical and security sign-off before any sensitive file reaches the shop floor, automatically enforcing ITAR export controls and CMMC flow-down requirements without slowing down legitimate work.
PDM/MES Integration Alchemi enhances your existing WindChill, ENOVIA, or TeamCenter workflows without disrupting them. Your engineers keep using the tools they know while gaining the security and compliance layers that defense contracts demand—no retraining, no workflow changes, just better protection.
Secure Vault Storage Every CUI file lives in an encrypted vault with complete version history and cryptographic integrity. When auditors ask “Who modified this design and when?” you’ll have the answer instantly—not scattered across file servers and email chains, but in one traceable, defensible record.
Point-to-Point Machine Transfer Files move from vault to CNC machine through FIPS 140-2 certified channels—no USB drives, no network shares, no opportunities for interception. Every transfer is logged and verified, creating an unbreakable chain of custody that auditors love and attackers can’t compromise.
Full Isolation Within the Enclave CUI never leaves the protected environment. Engineers work through secure VDI, operators receive only authorized files, and even if someone’s laptop gets compromised, your manufacturing data stays locked in the vault. Complete containment, zero exposure.
