AS9100 Shop Streamlines Aerospace Quoting with AI Platform Integration

Chesaning, MI - Big Rock Machining, a precision machining company located in Mid-Michigan, has officially launched Paperless Parts-a secure, AI-driven quoting platform that streamlines the request-for-quote (RFQ) process and enhances quoting accuracy for its aerospace and industrial customers.

The implementation marks a significant step in Big Rock's strategic effort to improve internal systems while upholding its core values of craftsmanship and accountability. The new platform consolidates RFQs into a centralized dashboard, ensuring each request is tracked, prioritized, and responded to efficiently, eliminating the inconsistencies that can arise from managing quotes across email, portals, and websites.

"Handling RFQs quickly and consistently is critical to keeping projects on track," said Chris Soule, President at Big Rock Machining. "With Paperless Parts, our team has immediate access to drawings, models, and documentation, improving quoting visibility and response time."

A standout feature of the upgrade is Wingman, an AI-powered assistant built for manufacturers. Wingman helps the Big Rock team identify critical design features-tight tolerances, thin walls, critical finishes, and external processing needs-upfront. This proactive insight supports more thorough quoting, reduces risks, and ensures clarity between engineering and manufacturing teams.

Beyond speed and accuracy, the platform reinforces Big Rock's commitment to data security. Paperless Parts operates within the government cloud and meets strict compliance standards, including CMMC, NIST, and ITAR, essential for serving the company's aerospace and defense clients.

Key benefits of the new platform include faster quote turnaround times, improved accuracy and documentation, enhanced communication on project needs, and secure handling of proprietary design.

This move reflects Big Rock Machining's philosophy: small-town hospitality paired with world-class quality. With Paperless Parts now in place, the company is positioned to respond even more effectively to its clients' complex needs while maintaining the integrity and precision it's known for.
