Aerospace Plant Maintenance & CMMS Software
Your five-axis machines, autoclaves, ovens and test rigs are the assets that actually make flight hardware. Elite Tech Corporation runs a CMMS on configured Zoho plus custom AWS that keeps those machines available, traceable and audit-ready for AS9100 and DGAQA reviews.
One platform, built on the tools aerospace & defence manufacturers already trust, Zoho Advanced Partner + custom development on AWS
Made for plant maintenance & CMMS
From Bengaluru’s HAL, ISRO, DRDO cluster to Hyderabad, Nashik and Kanpur, Elite Tech configures Zoho for the way Indian A&D manufacturers actually build.
CMMS built for the machines that build aircraft parts
In an aerospace and defence machine shop the risk sits inside your own equipment. A five-axis machining centre that drifts out of tolerance, an autoclave whose thermocouple map fails or a CMM that misses its calibration date can quietly ground a whole batch of flight-critical parts. This is not product MRO or aircraft overhaul. It is maintenance of the factory itself, the CNC centres, autoclaves, ovens, plating lines, furnaces and test benches that every Bangalore and Karnataka aerospace supplier depends on to hold its NADCAP approvals.
Most plants still run this on a whiteboard, a spreadsheet and the memory of one senior fitter. When that fitter is on leave, a service slips, a gauge expires, and an audit finds an out-of-calibration instrument on the floor. Elite Tech Corporation replaces that fragile setup with a proper CMMS: one asset register, planned preventive maintenance, disciplined breakdown work orders, a machine-spares store, and MTBF and MTTR reporting your quality and plant heads can trust.
As a Zoho Advanced Partner and AWS cloud partner, we do not sell a rigid off-the-shelf CMMS. We configure Zoho Creator, Zoho FSM, Zoho Inventory and Zoho Analytics into a maintenance system shaped around your equipment list and criticality ranking, then extend it on custom AWS for IoT condition monitoring where it pays off. You own the configuration and history, and the system speaks the language your DGAQA and AS9100 auditors use.
Everything your maintenance function needs, in one place
Every module built into one configured Zoho plus custom AWS platform, from RFQ and BOM to inspection, dispatch and MRO.
Equipment asset register
A single hierarchical register of every plant asset, from a machining centre down to its spindle and coolant pump, with make, model, serial, location, criticality rank, warranty and manuals attached, plus full service history so nothing lives only in a technician's head.
Equipment asset registerPreventive maintenance scheduling
Time-based and usage-based PM plans triggered by calendar date, running hours, spindle cycles or parts produced. The system raises the work order in advance, assigns the checklist and lets planners level the load around production slots.
Preventive maintenance schedulingBreakdown & corrective work orders
Operators log a breakdown in seconds. The CMMS timestamps the failure, captures a fault code and photo, dispatches the technician and records the repair, root cause and parts, so unplanned downtime is measured, not guessed.
Breakdown & correctiveMRO spare-parts store
A dedicated store for machine spares such as bearings, motors, seals, filters and hoses, with min-max reorder levels, bin locations and consumption tied to each work order, so you never carry dead stock or miss a critical spare.
MRO spare-parts storeDowntime, MTBF & MTTR analytics
Live dashboards for mean time between failures, mean time to repair, availability and OEE, sliced by asset, line, shift and failure mode, so effort goes where it recovers the most uptime.
Downtime, MTBF &Calibration & gauge control
A calibration register for gauges, CMMs, torque wrenches and thermocouples with due-date alerts, traceability to national standards and automatic quarantine of overdue instruments, so an out-of-calibration tool never reaches a flight-part inspection.
Calibration & gaugeCondition monitoring & IoT
Where it pays off, a custom AWS layer ingests vibration, temperature, current and pressure signals from sensors or your SCADA and PLCs, turning threshold breaches into predictive alerts and work orders before a bearing or pump fails.
Condition monitoring &Compliance & audit trail
Every PM, repair, calibration and spare movement is logged with user, timestamp and e-signature, ready to export as evidence for AS9100 infrastructure, NADCAP pyrometry and DGAQA audits.

How a maintenance cycle runs in the system
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
Build the asset register
We tag and load every plant asset with its hierarchy, criticality rank, specification, manuals and warranty, giving maintenance one verified source of truth.
Step 1Define PM plans
For each critical asset we set the strategy: calendar intervals, running-hour triggers and inspection checklists from OEM guidance and reliability-centred judgement.
Step 2Auto-generate work orders
The CMMS raises PM orders ahead of the due date, attaches the checklist, reserves spares and notifies the technician and planner so downtime is negotiated.
Step 3Log a breakdown
When a machine trips, the operator raises a ticket at the asset with symptom, fault code and photo, and the failure clock starts for an honest MTTR.
Step 4Dispatch & diagnose
The supervisor assigns a skilled technician, who sees asset history and manuals on the mobile app, diagnoses the fault and requests spares against the work order.
Step 5Execute the repair
The technician records labour time, parts consumed and root cause, captures a completion e-signature and returns the asset to service.
Step 6Verify & calibrate
For assets touching flight hardware, quality confirms the machine is back within process capability and linked gauges stay in calibration before restart.
Step 7Analyse reliability
Completed orders feed MTBF, MTTR, availability and cost dashboards, and recurring failure modes and top downtime contributors are flagged for PM revision.
Step 8Improve & audit
Reviews adjust PM frequencies, spare levels and criticality ranks, while the traceable log stands ready as objective evidence for AS9100 and DGAQA audits.

Your questions answered
This is a CMMS for your own factory equipment, the machines that make parts, not the aircraft or components you deliver. It manages preventive and breakdown maintenance of CNC centres, autoclaves, ovens and test rigs, their spares, downtime and calibration. Product MRO and overhaul of what you sell is a separate solution we also build.
Any plant asset with a maintenance need: multi-axis machining centres, turning and grinding machines, autoclaves and curing ovens, heat-treatment furnaces, shot-peen and plating lines, test benches, compressors, cranes, CMMs and calibrated gauges, each held in a hierarchical register with full history.
Yes. PM plans can trigger on calendar intervals, running hours, spindle cycles or units produced. The system raises the work order in advance, reserves spares and lets planners schedule service around committed production.
AS9100 clause 7.1.3 requires you to maintain infrastructure, and NADCAP special processes demand controlled pyrometry and calibration. The CMMS keeps a timestamped, signed record of every PM, repair and calibration and quarantines overdue gauges automatically, giving auditors objective evidence.
Yes. A calibration register tracks each gauge, CMM, torque wrench, thermocouple and pressure sensor with due dates, traceability to national standards, certificates and automatic alerts, and blocks overdue instruments from flight-part inspection.
Absolutely. Most plants begin with the asset register, PM scheduling, breakdown work orders and spares, which deliver the fastest return. IoT condition monitoring on the custom AWS layer is added later for critical assets once the discipline is in place.
Yes. Operators and technicians use a mobile app or tablet to log breakdowns, scan an asset, view history and manuals, record labour and parts and capture signatures, so data is entered at the machine, not re-keyed later in an office.
A focused rollout typically runs from discovery and asset tagging through configuration, data load and training in a matter of weeks, phased asset group by asset group. Our Bangalore team stays engaged through go-live and support under an AMC.
