One system from RFQ to delivery — under ITAR, EAR, and MIL-STD-129.

The Mad Botter deploys and operates one platform inside your compliance boundary — deterministic capture at the edge, a sovereign data layer, and pipelines on top. For aerospace and MRO that means jobs, parts, repair status, documentation, chain of custody, labels, compliance, and equipment condition connected to one record — with your legacy data migrated into it.

+ one relational job · rfq → delivery

+ rfid tag ↔ job ↔ mil label ↔ tcn ↔ dod scan

+ storage condition monitored · alerts before scrap

// illustrative — not customer data

100% US-based engineering · Self-hosted and air-gap-capable · Direct US Navy and Air National Guard work

// designed to support your compliance posture — we do not certify compliance

// the operating reality

The ERP records the transaction. It does not run the shop.

The real operation lives in boards, spreadsheets, a shared document store nobody can query, and a library of hand-built templates. An order's history migrates from one system to the next as it ages, stitched together by reference numbers typed by hand. There is no single system of record — and no reliable way to answer where a part is and what condition it is in.

x system_of_record == none + one relational job, quote to delivery
Boards consolidated 15

Monday.com boards an order physically migrated through as it aged — RFQ, orders, warehouse, finance, archive.

Records migrated ~14,000

Line items imported out of those boards into core operational models, each one hanging off a single relational job.

Document store 1.6 TB

A shared archive with no relationship to the jobs, shipments, and labels the documents belonged to.

Systems of record before None

Boards were stitched together only by free-text reference numbers typed by hand.

// what the system connects

Built around the workflow, not the org chart

// 01 Jobs, parts, and repair status

Quote to order to warehouse to finance as one relational job that keeps a single identity from the RFQ through delivery — instead of a record that physically migrates from board to board as it ages.

// 02 Documentation and chain of custody

Every document, shipment, label, and tag hangs off the job it belongs to. Asset moves, check-outs, and check-ins are logged with location, timestamp, operator, condition, and calibration state — so an auditor can reconstruct where anything has been.

// 03 Labeling and compliance evidence

MIL-STD-129 labels as one-click print-ready output to warehouse label printers, with RFID tag records cross-referencing the job, the label, the Transportation Control Number, and the DoD scan.

// 04 Equipment and storage condition

Sensor gateways streaming temperature, humidity, pressure, vibration, and moisture against per-asset thresholds — so corrosion risk on high-value inventory raises an alert instead of showing up as scrap.

// what you could ask

Questions your system should answer instantly

> Where is this part right now, and what condition is it in?
> Which jobs are blocked, and on what?
> Can we produce the chain of custody for this shipment?
> Which storage areas are trending outside their humidity threshold?
> What is the open repair backlog by stage?
> Which documents are missing before this order can ship?

// yours to control

Controlled data stays inside the boundary you already defend.

If you supply aerospace and defense programs, "move it to a shared cloud" is not an architecture. The system is self-hosted on infrastructure you own, with least-privilege access and an audit trail on every query — and air-gap-capable where the work requires it.

$ deploy operational_core --target on_prem

+ postgres · worker · audit — all local

+ least-privilege roles · every query logged

Aerospace and MRO — straight answers

Do we have to replace our ERP?

Usually not. The ERP records the transaction; the problem is normally the operation around it — the boards, spreadsheets, document archives, and hand-built templates where the work actually moves. We build the operational system in that gap and integrate with what stays.

Can this run inside our ITAR/EAR boundary?

Yes. The system is self-hosted on infrastructure you own, with least-privilege access and an audit trail, and is air-gap-capable where the work requires it. We are designed to support your compliance posture — we do not certify compliance.

Can you handle MIL-STD-129 labeling and RFID?

We have built exactly that. On a live deployment, MIL-STD-129 labels generate as print-ready PDFs and stream to warehouse Zebra printers as ZPL with Code 128 and Data Matrix/PDF417 barcodes, and RFID tag records cross-reference the job, the MIL label, the shipment’s Transportation Control Number, and the DoD scan.

Our operation runs on boards and spreadsheets. Can you migrate that?

Yes — that is the normal starting condition. On the aerospace deployment we imported roughly 14,000 line items out of fifteen Monday boards into one relational system, ending the hand-typed reference numbers that were the only thing connecting them.

What does it cost to start?

The First Line Pilot is $1,500 flat — thirty days, one production line, and a machine-verifiable finish you check against the floor rather than a report you have to trust. Full platform deployment is scoped against your actual systems after that, because by then we both know what they are.

// where to start

Start with the line that is costing you the most.

The First Line Pilot is $1,500 flat: thirty days, one production line, a machine-verifiable finish. We deploy the platform on your hardware, instrument one line, and run it in production — you judge the result on the record it produces.

Fixed price, fixed scope, no discovery theater.
