1factory: The Digital Backbone of Quality at Ricaurte Precision

In modern manufacturing, success is no longer defined by machines alone. While cutting-edge equipment remains essential, it’s the digital systems behind the scenes that increasingly determine how efficiently, accurately, and consistently a company delivers for its customers.

At Ricaurte Precision Inc. (RPI), we’ve made technology the foundation of our operations — and at the center of our digital ecosystem is 1factory, the quality management platform that keeps our processes traceable, organized, and optimized.

Simplifying Complexity in Precision Manufacturing

Every project at RPI is different. Some customers bring decades-old legacy drawings; others share new designs that still need refinement. In both cases, clarity and accuracy are essential — and that’s where 1factory makes all the difference.

With 1factory, our team can digitally store, organize, and review every part’s specifications in one place. The platform’s powerful optical character recognition (OCR) feature automatically bubbles drawings, assigning dimensions to specific operations so machinists see only what matters for their task. This removes guesswork, reduces wasted time, and ensures consistent accuracy from setup through inspection.

Traceability, Accountability, and Continuous Improvement

For the complex aerospace and tight-tolerance machining work we specialize in, maintaining complete traceability is non-negotiable. 1factory provides a single source of truth for every inspection record, ensuring that each part produced at RPI can be tracked and verified throughout its lifecycle.

Beyond compliance, this visibility helps us identify potential issues early — allowing for faster design-for-manufacturing (DFM) feedback and smoother production downstream. With 1factory, our quality team doesn’t just react to issues; we anticipate and prevent them.

Empowering People Through Technology

What we value most about 1factory is how it empowers our team. By digitizing inspection processes and automating document control, 1factory frees our machinists and inspectors to focus on what truly matters — producing exceptional parts.

Instead of juggling spreadsheets or searching through multiple file systems, our quality manager can manage all PPAP documentation, ballooned drawings, and inspection data within a single, intuitive interface. The result is faster throughput, greater consistency, and total confidence that every detail has been captured and reviewed.

Driving Operational Excellence

At Ricaurte Precision, technology like 1factory isn’t just an efficiency tool — it’s a cornerstone of our commitment to operational excellence. The platform helps ensure:

• Full traceability and accountability from drawing to delivery
• Early detection of potential issues before they impact production
• Streamlined communication across teams and customers
• Reliable quality data that drives smarter decisions

By integrating 1factory into our everyday workflow, we’ve built a quality system that supports speed without sacrificing precision — a must for industries like aerospace and defense where there’s no room for error.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to expand our capabilities and take on increasingly complex projects, 1factory remains central to how we deliver results. It’s more than software — it’s a trusted partner that reinforces our mission to combine cutting-edge technology, exceptional craftsmanship, and unwavering quality.

At Ricaurte Precision, we don’t just make parts — we make precision possible, powered by 1factory.
