A missing IQ protocol holds the FAT.Acceptance releases payment.

Built for build-to-order machinery OEMs serving regulated end markets, where every engineering change, safety-critical design choice, and qualification record has to stay traceable across engineering, quality, and commissioning, and survive FAT, SAT, and the customer's audit.

Built for build-to-order machinery OEMs

  • CE marking
  • Machinery Directive
  • ISO 12100
  • IQ / OQ / PQ
  • FAT / SAT

The decision lives in the thread, not the PLM change record.

Incumbents track the engineering change and the document status. Unifize reconstructs the decision trace across every function a change touched: the reasoning the customer's auditor and the technical construction file actually ask for.

When the customer's auditor is on the floor, someone reconstructs it.

The reconstruction always lands on someone. Find your seat, and see what you own when the trace has to hold up at FAT, SAT, and the customer's qualification audit.

Quality leadership

Every NCR, corrective action, and punch-list decision stays reconstructable.

See the quality solution →

Project & Build Operations

FAT, SAT, and commissioning decisions move on one accountable thread.

Compliance & CE Marking

The technical construction file and declaration of conformity stay current and traceable to every safety-critical design choice.

Qualification & Validation

IQ / OQ / PQ evidence and the customer-specific qualification package are assembled as they are generated and captured with an auditable e-signature.

See the compliance solution →

Engineering & Design

Machine design changes and design FMEA decisions move fast with their rationale sealed to the record.

See the change control solution →

NCRs, change, the field, qualification. One trace.

Each runs with CE marking, ISO 12100 and your customers' IQ / OQ / PQ built in. Start with the one that costs you most.

Quality

From the NCR on the build floor to a closed punch list the customer verifies.

  • Nonconformance (NCR) Management
  • Corrective Action & Effectiveness
  • Punch-List Management
See the quality solution →

Change Control

Engineering change assessed for qualification impact before the cut-in.

  • Engineering Change (ECR / ECN)
  • Change Impact on Qualification
  • Field Modification Control
See the change control solution →

Operations

Field modifications and service held against the unit they touch, for its life.

  • FAT / SAT Execution
  • Commissioning
  • Field Modification & Service

Compliance

CE marking and the customer's IQ / OQ / PQ package assembled as it is generated.

  • CE Marking / Machinery Directive
  • Customer Qualification (IQ / OQ / PQ)

Built to sit beside your PLM and ERP, and to survive the customer's qualification audit and a CE marking challenge.

  • Coexistence, not replacement

    Unifize sits alongside the PLM, ERP, CAD vault, and QMS you already run. It lands on engineering change management without an ERP or PLM displacement, and replaces the ungoverned channels where the decision trace goes missing.

  • Auditable e-signatures, Part 11 where required

    Every approval is captured as an attributable, time-stamped electronic signature, so the decision trace is the audit trail: 21 CFR Part 11 where the equipment serves a regulated environment, and traceable to the technical construction file by construction.

  • Your customer's questions, answered directly

    IQ / OQ / PQ evidence, FAT/SAT documentation, engineering-change traceability, and the technical construction file are walked through with your team, and built to survive the customer's post-installation qualification audit.

The moments that start a clock you don't control.

Customer acceptance and conformity deadlines, not internal outcomes. Each one routes to the process that answers it and the team that owns the response.

The cost is real. It just never lands on a line you can see.

Coordination tax, per company per year

$0.1Mto$1.3M

Paid in chasing, handoffs and rework, one coordination event at a time. No budget line carries it, so nobody owns it. Modeled across 76 companies in the segment.

  • Engineering change → cut-inEngineering & Designweeks of change-order cycle time; a rejected cut-in

Every instance, every team. None of it on a budget line.

Incumbents track the change record. Unifize reconstructs the decision.

Pick an engineering change or a qualification package you could not replay at the last FAT, SAT, or customer audit. We will reconstruct it live.
