Technical diagram understanding and indexing
Metadata extraction from complex engineering schemas
Version control and change tracking across formats

Security Clearance & Classification

ITAR compliance, classified information handling, and role-based access controls are mandatory for defense contractors and aerospace manufacturers.

Document-level security classifications
User clearance verification and audit trails
Air-gapped deployment capabilities
FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption standards

Massive Scale & Performance

Petabyte-scale archives with complex relationships between design specifications, test data, and maintenance records require optimized retrieval at scale.
