Source: https://aidera.tech/en/quality Provider: Aidera GmbH, Munich, Germany (ISO 27001, hosted in Germany) Last updated: 2026-10-20 Video (video in German): [Aidera AI in quality management](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn3e1a2EPiw) ## Six solutions for your quality management ### [8D reports from suppliers](https://aidera.tech/en/quality/8d-supplier-complaints) Your suppliers complete 8D reports in a guided portal, and the AI checks every discipline before the report reaches you. You see all complaints with status and deadlines at a glance. ### [8D reports for customer complaints](https://aidera.tech/en/quality/8d-report) From your customer's complaint, the AI drafts the 8D report, including a proposal for the FMEA. Your quality team reviews, adds to it and approves. ### [Initial sampling](https://aidera.tech/en/quality/initial-sampling) The AI reads sampling requests, selects the right VDA or AIAG template and compiles the initial sample inspection report with all evidence. It detects missing test results and triggers the lab test. ### [FMEA](https://aidera.tech/en/quality/fmea) For new FMEAs, the AI does the groundwork using knowledge from previous FMEAs, lessons learned and 8D reports. It adapts existing FMEAs in a targeted way, for example after an 8D report. ### [Inspection planning and deviation detection](https://aidera.tech/en/inspection-planning) The AI creates the inspection plan directly from the drawing and proposes inspection method, inspection equipment and inspection frequency for every characteristic. In your measurement data it detects trends before a characteristic reaches the tolerance limit. ### [Supplier visits and audits](https://aidera.tech/en/quality/supplier-audits) Plan VDA 6.3 audits, line walks and full-run tests for all suppliers worldwide in one place. During the visit on the tablet, the AI proposes ratings, and actions are tracked automatically. ## Why Aidera - **In your systems.** The AI works with ERP, CAQ, FMEA tool, Outlook and your file storage.

AI takes over recurring inspection and documentation work, for example reading complaints, pre-checking 8D reports, compiling initial sample inspection reports and proposing FMEA content. The technical decision and the approval remain with your team. ### Which companies are Aidera's quality solutions suitable for? The solutions are suitable for manufacturers and suppliers with high quality requirements, for example in the automotive industry, in mechanical and plant engineering and in manufacturing. They pay off wherever complaints, initial samplings, FMEAs and audits come up regularly. ### Which standards do the solutions follow? They work with the requirements of VDA and AIAG, for example VDA 6.3 for process audits, VDA Volume 2 and PPAP for initial sampling and the AIAG-VDA FMEA handbook. Your own forms and rating schemes are adopted. ### Which systems does the AI work with? With your existing systems, for example ERP, CAQ, FMEA tool, Outlook and file storage such as SharePoint. Our engineers clarify which connection makes sense in the first conversation. ### Who makes the decisions in quality management? Your team always makes the decisions. The AI prepares, checks and makes proposals, and the responsible experts approve. ### What do the AI solutions for quality management cost? Pricing is individual and based on ROI, meaning the value the solution creates in your quality management. The main price factors are the solutions you use, the number of cases and the systems to be connected. ### How long does the rollout in quality management take? The first solution is live in production in less than six weeks, and then the trial phase begins. In the first conversation, we show you the solution on one of your processes. Our engineers then adapt it to your workflows and connect your systems. ### How do Aidera's quality solutions differ from a template or conventional QM software? Aidera's solutions are tailored to your needs and fully integrated into your systems. A template or conventional software dictates fixed workflows, and your team has to adapt to them. With Aidera, the AI adopts your forms and rating schemes and works in your ERP, CAQ system and FMEA tool. ### How secure is our quality data? Your data is protected to the highest data protection standards, as Aidera is ISO 27001 and TISAX certified. Every customer gets a dedicated instance hosted in Germany, and access runs via single sign-on. ## Video transcript (English translation of the German voice-over) Aidera is the AI for your quality management, from 8D reports, FMEAs, inspection plans and initial sampling to supplier audits. This makes results faster, complete and traceable. Let's get started. If you write 8D reports for your customers yourself, the AI reads the complaint and fills in the report as a draft, which your team reviews and approves. There is also an 8D solution in which your suppliers complete the 8D reports for you. A portal guides the supplier through every discipline, and the AI checks the report before it reaches you. For FMEA, the AI builds new FMEAs with knowledge from previous FMEAs and 8D reports and adapts existing ones in a targeted way. In inspection planning, the AI creates the inspection plan directly from the drawing and detects trends in your measurement data before a characteristic reaches the tolerance limit. For initial sampling, the AI reads your customer's request, selects the right VDA or AIAG template and compiles all evidence. You plan supplier visits and audits worldwide in one place, and during the visit the AI proposes justified ratings. All solutions work in your systems, are adapted to your processes by our engineers and are secured with ISO 27001 and hosting in Germany. ## Let's look at your quality process together We show you the right solution using an example from your daily work.
