TORRANCE, Calif., May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- GITAI USA Inc.
(GITAI), the world's leading space robotics startup, today proudly
announces the successful achievement of the AS9100:2016
certification.
AS9100 is an internationally recognized Quality Management
System (QMS) standard specifically designed for the aerospace
industry. The company's attainment of this certification
demonstrates its dedication to ensuring the quality, safety, and
reliability of its space robotics technologies. The AS9100
certification includes all the requirements of the more common ISO
9001 certification and adds a set of standards specific to the
aerospace industry.
Simultaneously, GITAI has attained the ISO 9001:2015
certification—an internationally recognized standard for Quality
Management Systems (QMS), emphasizing the establishment of robust
processes and a commitment to continuous improvement. This
certification serves as a testament to GITAI's dedication to
providing products and services that consistently surpass customer
expectations.
GITAI is also a participating member of the Government-Industry
Data Exchange Program (GIDEP).
This certification signifies that GITAI has successfully
achieved the development of a high-performance space robot with low
cost and short lead time through agile development based on
in-house production of all components, coupled with a QMS for
manufacturing high-quality space robots.
The certification process, initiated in August 2023, was concluded in under six months.
We were able to achieve certification so rapidly because we focused
on visualizing and standardizing the excellence that is rooted in
GITAI's agile development process, which is based on in-house
production of all components, rather than implementing an entirely
new process for certification.
Ryuichiro "Jake" Ohira, Project Manager and Quality Assurance
Manager at GITAI, said, "What I am most proud of is that a startup
like GITAI, through its in-house production of all components and
combining agile development with a quality management system, was
able to produce a high-quality space robot at a low cost and in a
short lead time. GITAI's rapid acquisition of this certification,
along with other important milestones achieved at the end of last
year—such as the relocation of its headquarters and manufacturing
facility to the United States, the
achievement of NIST SP800-171 certification, the securing of
permanent residency for all CxOs, and the successful external
demonstration at the ISS this year—illustrates that GITAI has
evolved into a company that meets the rigorous requirements of the
DoD, NASA, and other U.S. government agencies. The contract awarded
by DARPA at the end of last year further confirms this."
