The aerospace and defense (A&D) manufacturing sector is one of the most demanding and precision-driven industries in the world. In the UAE and across the GCC region, national programs and government-led initiatives are accelerating the growth of advanced manufacturing and local defense production. To stay competitive, manufacturers must not only meet global quality standards but also manage complex contracts, ensure full traceability, and comply with strict regulatory frameworks. 

That’s where SCASYS, an Epicor Authorized Partner, plays a vital role - helping A&D manufacturers across the region implement intelligent, scalable ERP solutions that deliver transparency, control, and agility. 

Navigating Complexity in Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing 

Unlike traditional manufacturing, the aerospace and defense industry faces a unique set of challenges: 

  • Stringent compliance and regulations – From ITAR and DFARS to government defense procurement standards, compliance must be embedded into every process. 
  • End-to-end traceability – Components, assemblies, and materials must be tracked by lot, serial, and revision to ensure safety and accountability. 
  • Quality and precision manufacturing – First Article Inspections (FAI), shelf-life tracking, and certification management are non-negotiable. 
  • Long project lifecyclesmulti-year contracts, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations require seamless coordination and data visibility. 

Epicor’s ERP solution for aerospace and defense manufacturing is designed to handle these complexities with ease — integrating every element of production, quality, and compliance into one unified platform.
