Digicon's 40-plus years of operation ensure its experience in a wide array of production processes and competence in various industries involving high-precision mechanical processes. This is how Digicon began to provide specialty services, such as manufacturing air conditioning system components for aircrafts from various companies around the world. Excellence in technology and vertical processes give Digicon the autonomy, precision and flexibility it needs to match the diverse requirements of the market and its customers.
The Aeronautical Components Division (DCA, Divisão de Componentes Aeronáuticos) is located at the Grupo Digicon's industrial facilities, which span over 44,000 square meters. Its vertical structure enables the company to control the whole productive process, always expanding its line of products and services through the development of new knowledge.
- Control over all manufacturing processes.
- International certifications.
- High precision labs and modern factory.
- Excellence in technology and vertical processes.
For systems with very strict requirements, such as those found in the aerospace industry, certification processes are a prerequisite to ensure passenger safety and verify the quality of all vendors.
Meet our services:
– High precision build-to-print machined components.
– Purchase of raw materials.
– Special in-house processes: chrome, nickel, anodizing and heat treating.
– Nondestructive Testing (NDT) – Magnetic particle inspection and fluorescent penetrant inspection.
– Quality assurance.
– Delivery logistics.
Digicon holds the primary international certifications required in the aerospace components market:
ISO 9001
This quality management standard establishes requirements to help improve internal processes, train associates, monitor the work environment, and check customer, associate and vendor satisfaction, providing a continuous process for improving the quality management system. The 2015 version of the ISO 9001 standard adopts a more modern approach, with an emphasis on generating value, risk assessment, and greater involvement from top management.
AS 9100
This Quality Management Standard for the aerospace supply chain comprises the whole ISO 9001 standard, with additional quality and safety requirements specific to the aerospace sector.
NADCAP
NADCAP certifies vendors meet the strictest special process control and quality requirements. Processes are audited by a group of experts from airplane manufacturers and major systems vendors. Digicon has obtained NADCAP certification for Nondestructive Testing and is in the final accreditation process for the Heat Treating certification. It will soon obtain the Chemical Processing certification as well, completing the three special process categories at the Digicon aerospace division.
NBR 15100
The Brazilian equivalent of AS 9100, this is the management system standard for the aeronautics, aerospace and defense industries. The company first obtained NBR 15100 certification in 2005, and like ISO 9001 has kept it uninterrupted since then.
