A field-failure rate that’s acceptable in other industries can be catastrophic for a company in the Aerospace and Defense sector. There’s no room for error when you’re selling high-cost, highly complex products used in operations that can cost millions. This means that shipped products must be diligently evaluated throughout the product’s lifecycle.
No Compromise for High-Security Industries
Aerospace, defense, and other high-requirement sectors can now access the same powerful test data management used in high-volume consumer electronics without sacrificing control or confidentiality.
With WATS, you get advanced analytics, real-time visibility, and full asset traceability in a secure, scalable environment. From firmware issues to fixture failures, WATS helps you act fast and stay ahead.
We’re already seeing significant investment across this sector, especially when it comes to digitizing test environments, understanding equipment health, and resolving firmware and fixture issues before they cause mission-critical problems. WATS supports all of that, with a modern infrastructure that scales as you do.
Asset traceability. Test result transparency. Scalable analytics. All while protecting the data that matters most. With WATS, you don’t have to choose between functionality and security, you get both, by design.
Flexible Deployment, Rigid Security
WATS adapts to your setup without compromising on protection. WATS supports full on-premises deployment – tailored for electronics manufacturers with strict security, regulatory, or IT architecture requirements. Whether you’re managing a single facility or a multi-site setup, you can deploy WATS locally, apply granular user restrictions, and maintain VPN-secured data pipelines.
Need hybrid flexibility? We’ve implemented architectures where on-prem systems connect securely to centralized servers, enabling enterprise-wide insight without compromising internal boundaries.
Working with subcontractors? WATS lets you collect limited data externally and merge it safely into your protected infrastructure.
Prefer the cloud? WATS also runs on Microsoft Azure, following best practices for security and ISO 27001 compliance.
With WATS, you get full control and full visibility—no compromises.
”WATS has allowed us an entirely new insight into our processes. It simplifies our daily tasks and helps us to get production under control. Because yield says so much about quality, WATS reports helps spot problems almost before they begin.

Close the Loop. Prevent the Failures.
Integrate repair and field performance data.
In high-stakes environments, undetected issues can lead to critical failures. WATS helps you integrate repair and field performance data into a feedback loop, allows you to continuously evaluate performance during the product lifecycle, and implement monitoring policies to proactively detect them.
This lets you detect problems early, validate performance over time, and act when the cost of failure is lowest. It’s proactive insight, built for high-stakes environments.
Track and Analyze Repair Processes
WATS features detailed Repair Analytics allowing you to investigate your reports based on failure types, component numbers and references. Increase your product traceability and insight into the actual root cause of your failures by adding relevant repair information to your unit history.
You can get precise control of any manufacturing process so that you reduce the risk of having a product fail at a durability test, when the actual failure should have been detected many steps earlier in the process. You can also link failures or issues found during Field Services back to the manufacturing data, to update the test coverage if needed.
With WATS you can collect your repairs directly with the operator interface or connect your repair data with the RestAPI.
”The diagnostic features and traceable process allows issues to be quickly identified across customer teams and the supply chain.

Complete traceability, forced routing and unit verification
WATS provides you with full traceability for all units, including subunits. If a product is being repaired or returned, you can instantly access the relevant test and repair records, comparing this data with other similar products within a relevant time frame. This provides a unique learning opportunity where you get to fix actual, verified problems.
ISO 27001 Certified for Assured Information Security
WATS is certified to ISO 27001, the internationally recognized standard for information security management. For defense and aerospace organizations, this ensures your test and repair data is handled with strict, independently audited controls—providing full transparency without compromising confidentiality or compliance.
WATS Is Secure By Design – Perfect For Security Conscious Industries
In highly regulated industries like aerospace, defence, and security, there’s no room for compromise – especially when it comes to data. Manufacturers operating in this space need solutions that are completely secure and compliant with international standards, while also offering them the functionality they need. At WATS, we understand this better than most. Our platform is already trusted by global aerospace and defence companies, and we continue to invest in the areas that matter most: security, control, scalability, and performance.
