Transforming FMEA: Launch of Agentic AI in AQuA Pro

by Chad Kymal,Antony John published on July 04, 2025

FMEA is crucial to robust product development, enabling organizations to identify and mitigate risks early in the design and manufacturing process. Since the 1980s, AQuA Pro by Omnex Systems has been a trusted FMEA platform, supporting global manufacturers in achieving quality, compliance, and continuous improvement.

In this webinar recording, we demonstrate how AQuA Pro empowers teams with features such as:

Foundation FMEAs and Family → Part reuse relationships
Support for major standards: AIAG-VDA 1st Edition, AIAG 4th Edition, SAE J1739
BOM integration and structured links to Control Plans and Process Flows

We also unveil Agentic AI in AQuA Pro—introducing intelligent AI Agents that:

Reuse Foundation FMEAs to generate context-aware PFMEAs and DFMEAs
Recommend failure modes, causes, controls, and actions
Validate FMEAs for completeness, consistency, and standards compliance
Enable chat-based, interactive FMEA development

Key Takeaways:

Foundation FMEAs & Reuse: Reduce effort and increase consistency.
AI-Driven Recommendations: Speed up quality and lighten SME workloads.
Chat-Based FMEA Creation: Use natural language to develop FMEAs.
Implementation Roadmap: Adopt AQuA Pro and integrate AI into your FMEA process.

Whether you're beginning FMEA digitalization or advancing toward AI-enhanced quality, this session offers valuable insights and a practical roadmap.
