For over 10 years Tietronix has been leading the aerospace industry in developing new and advanced technologies for engineering Process Automation.

Tietronix' Process Automation solutions enable new efficiencies and organizational agilities that decrease the cost, effort, and time to complete projects. Additionally, these solutions increase an organization's overall capabilities and effectiveness for future engineering projects through continuous process improvement.

Tietronix Process Technology (TPT) products help automate and manage mandated engineering processes and projects such as: spacecraft commanding, flight software, ground systems software, bio-monitoring, and medical devices.

TPT is a solution framework containing Business Process Management (BPM) infrastructure specialized for engineering projects and processes. Tietronix uses TPT to rapidly create customized solutions for its customers.

Tietronix' solutions are widely deployed at NASA with an active user base of over 2,500 engineers and managers working on mission-critical projects.

 

Software Developer’s Assistant (SDA)

SDA is an engineering process automation tool that guides engineers through project specific standards, processes, and procedures. SDA breaks ‘mission-critical’ processes into the smallest steps possible and guides engineers through each assigned process step.

Some of the standard features of SDA are:

• Assists program and project management via dashboards and reports that supply real time monitoring and status of the project.
• Ensures process and best practice compliance.
• Automatically collects and analyzes metric information.
• Supplies all required information to complete process steps including:
  • templates and examples,
  • best practices,
  • references, and
  • instructions and background information.

SDA is being used by NASA and Tietronix' medical device development projects.

 

Medical Device Accelerator (MDA)

Tietronix’ Medical Device Accelerator (MDA) provides the ability to navigate and understand the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) strict requirements for medical device software development including: adherence to design controls, user requirements capture, risk analysis, and proper design documentation.

The use of MDA reduces development time, ensures regulatory compliance, and enhances team collaboration, translating to less expensive development cycles and quicker time to market.

 

Bioastronautics Planning System Configuration Management (BPSCM)

Tietronix' BPSCM software automates Configuration Control Board (CCB) functions commonly used in engineering programs.

BPSCM streamlines the management, operations, and administration of CCBs through process automation and is highly configurable to support a wide variety of operational profiles.

Implementation of BPSCM:

• Allows users to create and work on Change Requests (CRs) through the web interface.
• Provides access to real-time dashboards and graphical process views.
• Allows ease of scheduling meetings, tracking action items, etc., through a standard browser interface.
• Ensures process compliance of all users and board members.

Significant efficiencies and productivity gains have been reported as a result of BPSCM’s automation of process and administrative functions.

A large group measured a 333% efficiency improvement of their configuration management administration personnel. Users in general report higher productivity and preparedness levels.

BPSCM is being used by several organizations at NASA to manage changes to deployed software and hardware systems and flight procedures.
