An Inside Look at the Digital Thread That Powers Our Precision Machine Shop
At Liberty Precision, CEO Bill Berrien often reminds our team that operational excellence starts with disciplined systems, and those systems must evolve as technology advances. As an AS9100D certified machine shop supporting aerospace and defense programs, Liberty Precision understands that modern manufacturing requires more than great equipment. It demands a fully integrated digital environment that ensures consistency and traceability.
That’s why we’ve built a robust digital thread that connects every stage of our workflow. This digital ecosystem strengthens us as a precision machine shop and reinforces our commitment to continuous improvement. Most importantly, it ensures our customers receive the dependable results they expect from a trusted partner in high-precision production.
Reinforcing Our Contract Manufacturing Capabilities Through Digital Integration
Liberty Precision’s digital thread serves as the backbone of our operations. By implementing technology that eliminates wasted effort, accelerates quoting and production, improves communication, and increases process visibility, we deliver stronger outcomes across our range of complex machining solutions.
Removing Inefficiencies at Every Stage
Bill Berrien often describes our process optimization efforts as “tightening the gaps.” This means reducing downtime and eliminating repeat manual work so our team can focus on delivering high-value solutions. Each digital tool plays a unique role in keeping our workflows lean and dependable.
Digital Tools That Strengthen Our Precision Machine Shop
Accelerating Accurate Quoting With Paperless Parts
Every quote submitted through our website is processed using the secure, CMMC-aligned Paperless Parts platform. This system automates time-consuming quoting processes, improves quote accuracy, flags potential machining risks, and gives our customers faster feedback. For a precision machine shop working with tight aerospace requirements, this combination of speed and accuracy is essential.
Powerful CNC Programming Through Hexagon ESPRIT®
Our programming team relies on ESPRIT®, a CAM system that integrates seamlessly with CAD models and maximizes the capabilities of our machines. This software supports smooth toolpaths, optimized cycle times, and consistent performance across our capabilities.
Quality Assurance Strengthened by High QA
High QA simplifies digital inspection workflows by automatically generating quality plans and guiding operators through inspection steps. This ensures every part meets documented requirements necessary for aerospace and defense contracts.
Real-Time Machine Monitoring With Machine Metrics
MachineMetrics gives us a real-time view of production activity so we can identify hidden inefficiencies and make data-driven decisions that improve output. This insight directly supports our status as a high-performing precision machine shop.
Precision Measurement With ZEISS CALYPSO
ZEISS CALYPSO powers our metrology processes by comparing real part measurements to CAD models. This creates a high-accuracy feedback loop that strengthens final part conformity and gives customers confidence in their most demanding applications.
Process Automation With UI Path
Automation isn’t limited to machining. Using UiPath, Liberty Precision has eliminated hours of manual reporting time, allowing daily reports to be completed automatically before the team arrives. This keeps our focus on manufacturing excellence, not paperwork.
How Our Digital Thread Benefits Liberty Precision Customers
Integrating these technologies into a unified digital thread gives our customers quantifiable advantages:
Better production efficiency: Connecting data across platforms ensures we repeat best practices consistently, improving long-term reliability.
Shorter lead times: Automation and real-time monitoring help us compress cycle times to meet demanding schedules, especially for aerospace and defense programs.
Higher quality output: Digital inspection and continuous visibility across processes have helped drive extremely low defect rates.
Reduced risk and smoother projects: The digital thread identifies potential issues before they impact production. This ensures a stable and predictable experience for our customers.
A Digital-First Approach That Strengthens Every Part We Make
Liberty Precision’s digital thread reflects our long-term commitment to the continuous improvement mindset that’s also present in our Forwardskilling program. As a precision machine shop serving critical industries including aerospace and defense, we believe the best results come from combining talented people, reliable processes, and intelligent technology.
