Jeh Aerospace will leverage Blackstraw AI’s technologies to optimize production workflows and enhance quality control, the companies said.

TAMPA, Fla. and ATLANTA—A strategic alliance between aerospace and defense components manufacturer Jeh Aerospace and AI platform developer Blackstraw AI will leverage cutting-edge AI technologies to enhance manufacturing processes, improve supply chain transparency, and drive innovation in the aerospace industry, the companies said in a joint release.

In the new partnership, Jeh Aerospace will integrate Blackstraw AI’s state-of-the-art AI platforms into its operations. This integration is expected to optimize production workflows, enhance quality control, and streamline supply chain management to ensure consistent timely delivery of conforming parts.

Jeh Aerospace said in the release that it produces high-quality aerostructures and aero-engine components, as well as tools and assemblies.

“We’re seeking to challenge conventional aerospace manufacturing by adopting a digital-first approach,” said Vishal R. Sanghavi, co-founder of Jeh Aerospace, in the release. “Exceptional talent, reinforced with cutting-edge technology, is the only way for us to achieve our mission of forging supply resilience in the industry. This partnership will help us examine and enhance our operations in new ways to unlock the power of AI in aerospace manufacturing.”

With platforms covering data engineering, modeling, and operationalization Blackstraw AI is said to bring a wealth of AI implementation experience to the partnership. Incorporating AI-driven insights and cognitive automation into Jeh Aerospace’s manufacturing processes is expected to provide multiple benefits. For one, automation of complex manufacturing tasks to reduce production time and costs will boost efficiency. Quality will be enhanced by implementing AI-powered quality control systems to detect anomalies and ensure components meet stringent aerospace standards. In addition, supply chain transparency will be improved by using AI to provide real-time visibility into supply chain operations, enhancing traceability and reliability, according to the release.

“We are excited to collaborate with Jeh Aerospace to bring AI-driven innovation to the aerospace manufacturing sector,” said Atul Arya, founder and CEO of Blackstraw AI, in the release. “Our AI solutions are designed to transform business processes and drive exponential growth. Together, we will set new benchmarks for efficiency, quality, and transparency in aerospace manufacturing.”

The partnership is expected to deliver “immense value to Jeh Aerospace’s customers by ensuring certainty in delivery and quality, resilience against demand variations, and radical transparency across the value chain,” the release said.
