Boltline: The Machine Behind the Machine

Hardware companies spend years perfecting the vehicle. Far less attention goes to the system that builds it: the work plans, part genealogy, inventory records, and build history that determine whether a program ships on schedule or spends its margin chasing paperwork.

Boltline started on Stoke Space’s factory floor as the answer to that problem, and it now runs production for space companies operating on some of the most compressed timelines in the industry.

In this session, teams from Stoke Space, Leap Space, and Quantum Space share how they run builds day to day: how work instructions get to the floor, how non-conformances get contained, and how as-built configuration stays accurate without a full-time person maintaining it. Expect specifics on what changed operationally and what it took to get there.

What you’ll take away:

  • How space hardware teams structure work plans so the floor can actually execute them
  • How lot and serial-level traceability holds up when the build record updates with it
  • How transparent workflows and schedules accelerate development cycles
  • How to contain a non-conformance in hours instead of days
  • Where to start if your traceability currently lives across spreadsheets, PDFs, and tribal knowledge
