Find the failure modes your qualification plan misses.

Normpal checks your test plan and FMEA against decades of documented cross-industry failures, before a retest or a redesign finds them for you.

Find risk before it consumes schedule and capital.

See risk earlier

Gaps surface before the programme commits further budget.

Run fewer test cycles

Know what your current tests actually prove, and what they don’t.

Avoid late redesigns

Fix a problem while it is still cheap to fix.

Four steps. One product at a time.

Every finding arrives with a source your engineers can check.

  1. 01

    Read the system

    Your product as one interacting system, not a list of isolated parts.

  2. 02

    Check the evidence

    Your test plan and FMEA against a curated corpus of real failures.

  3. 03

    Match the physics

    Precedents count even from another product or another industry.

  4. 04

    Show the gaps

    Every assumption your current evidence does not support.

The same physics. Evidence from beyond your industry.

We map your materials, interfaces and operating conditions against documented failures from aerospace, chemical, marine and industrial systems, back to the 1960s.

Not identical products — identical physics. Every precedent arrives with its source, so your engineers can judge it themselves.

Normpal supports engineering judgment. It does not assign final FMEA ratings.

  1. Your product

    • EPDM seal
    • Aluminium–steel joint
    • Salt fog and thermal cycling
    • Chromate-free coating
  2. Same physical mechanism

    • Compression set
    • Galvanic attack at interface
    • Crevice attack after coating loss
  3. Documented precedent

    • Chemical valve seal, 1974
    • Marine hull fitting, 1991
    • Aero actuator housing, 1968
    • Industrial pump flange, 2004

Built for sensitive engineering environments.

A German engineering company. The platform runs inside your environment, so qualification material never has to leave it.

  • Runs on your infrastructure

    Deployed on your premises. Material stays in your environment.

  • Named personnel

    Handled only by identified Normpal engineers.

  • No external model providers

    Nothing is sent to third-party AI models or APIs.

  • Mutual NDA

    Signed before any material moves. No residuals clause.

  • Controlled retention

    Anything shared is deleted within ten working days.

  • Certified destruction

    Signed written confirmation once deletion is complete.

Fits the toolchain you already run.

Start with redacted documents. Nothing in your PLM has to change on day one.

Designed to integrate with

  • PTC

Teamcenter, Windchill and IBM ELM connectors are specified and in development, not yet deployed in production.

Built for the engineers. Read by the people carrying the risk.

Answers before the first call.

Does Normpal replace our FMEA or qualification process?

No. It adds evidence to the process you already run, and flags assumptions worth a second look.

Does Normpal assign new FMEA ratings?

No. It shows where a rating lacks supporting evidence. Your engineers own the final call.

What do you need from us to start?

One redacted test plan or FMEA, and 90 minutes with the responsible engineer.

Can we redact sensitive information?

Yes. The review is built around customer-controlled redaction.

Where is our information processed?

Inside your own environment. Normpal is deployed on your infrastructure, and nothing is sent to external AI models or third-party APIs.

Do you retain our material?

Anything shared with us is deleted within ten working days, with a signed destruction certificate.

Is this only for defence?

Defence and high-reliability hardware come first. The approach applies to aerospace, maritime, automotive and industrial systems.

Bring one product. See what your plan misses.

Thirty minutes is enough to pick a suitable product and agree scope.
