Traceability breaks between stages
In nuclear manufacturing every stage produces paper - material certificates, inspection reports, test records - but the links between a part and its history break as it moves between shops and suppliers. When a component's provenance must be proven, reconstructing it is slow and fragile. The chain has to be held together from the start.
Part genealogy
Every component carries its full history: heat, operations, operators and instruments used.
Linked certificates
Material and test certificates are attached to the part, not to a folder, and always retrievable.
In-line inspection
Quality control points recorded as they happen, halting the flow on non-conformance.
Final certificate
The conformity certificate is generated from the evidence chain, not filled in by hand.
Identify
Each component is assigned a unique identity tied to its source material.
Record
Every operation and inspection is recorded in-line, with machine, operator and parameters.
Verify
Tests confirm conformity; non-conformances stop the part from moving forward.
Certify
At closeout, the certificate is issued from the chain and archived with the full genealogy.
FOUNDRY OS is the traceable-production bundle for nuclear supply chains: it binds materials, operations, inspections and tests into a continuous chain from component to certificate. The architecture integrates unique part identity, in-line acquisition from MES and test systems, CORTEX conformity checking and a genealogy-and-certificate archive on VAULT and LEDGER.
On-prem in the workshop
Installed in the workshop's systems and integrated with the existing MES and test benches, so acquisition happens in-line with no double entry.
Multi-site supply chain
Deployed across multiple plants and suppliers, with LEDGER keeping the chain continuous as the part moves between sites.
Air-gapped enclave
Isolated configuration for sensitive or classified manufacturing, with certificate synchronization only through signed, verified media.
Verified boot
The bundle nodes boot with secure boot and TPM 2.0, ensuring the acquisition and certification system runs only signed software.
Encrypted, immutable records
Genealogies and certificates are encrypted at rest and made immutable once closed: the part's history cannot be rewritten after the fact.
RBAC and operator signing
Every record carries the operator's identity via AEGIS, with role-based access and an audit trail on every process step.
Certifications and CFSI defense
Management aligned to ISO 27001, ASME NQA-1 and ISO 9001; verified provenance helps intercept counterfeit items (CFSI) before acceptance.
How does it differ from LEDGER?
LEDGER is the supply-chain qualification software; FOUNDRY OS is the bundle that brings traceability onto the shop floor, recording production in-line and generating the certificate from the chain.
Is the certificate generated or filled in?
Generated from the evidence chain at closeout, not filled in by hand: it reflects exactly the recorded materials, operations and tests.
What happens on a non-conformance?
The in-line control point halts the part from moving forward: it cannot proceed until the non-conformance is resolved and recorded.
Does it integrate with existing MES and test systems?
Yes: it acquires in-line from shop-floor MES and test systems, so every operation enters the genealogy with no double entry.
How does it help against counterfeiting (CFSI)?
By tying each part to its heat and verified certificates, it makes provenance checks immediate and intercepts suspect items before they enter the qualified chain.
The mark encodes the mechanism, not the sector: la catena di giunti: il braccio che si articola.
