Aerospace Logistics Automation
Mission-Critical. Security-Cleared. Precision-Built.
Aerospace and defense operations demand infrastructure built to the highest standards of quality, security, and traceability. MTLI Group of Companies delivers aerospace logistics automation solutions for manufacturers, MRO facilities, and defense logistics operations.
We Understand Your Pain Points
Security Requirements
ITAR, export controls, and classified programs require secure facilities and cleared personnel.
Quality Standards
AS9100 and aerospace-grade quality demands documentation and traceability.
Large Components
Aircraft parts, engines, and assemblies require specialized handling and storage.
MRO Operations
Maintenance, repair, and overhaul facilities have unique workflow requirements.
How MTLI Solves These Challenges
Secure Facilities
Facilities designed for aerospace and defense requirements, built as secure warehouse infrastructure from the ground up.
- ITAR-compliant construction
- Secure storage areas
- Access control systems
- Cleared workforce
- Classified areas
Aerospace Storage
Storage systems for aircraft parts and assemblies, engineered as defense material handling systems for oversized components.
- Engine stand storage
- Wing storage systems
- Rotable parts storage
- FOD-controlled areas
- Climate-controlled storage
MRO Support
Infrastructure for maintenance operations, sized to keep aircraft moving through the hangar schedule.
- Hangar construction
- Tool crib systems
- Parts staging
- Workflow optimization
- Heavy lift capability
Why Work With One Aerospace & Defense Infrastructure Partner
Aerospace and defense projects that split secure construction, storage, and MRO infrastructure across separate vendors create gaps in security clearance and accountability right when a program can least afford them. The benefits of working as one team includes:
- One point of contact from design through commissioning
- Secure construction, storage, and MRO scopes stay coordinated on one schedule
- Fewer handoffs between trades reduces security and compliance risk
- One team accountable for ITAR and AS9100 documentation across the project
- Maintenance from the same team that installed the system

Signs Your Facility Needs Aerospace Logistics Automation
Aerospace and defense operators usually reach out once these signals start showing up in daily operations:
- Large component handling still relies on manual rigging more than it should
- FOD prevention protocols are hard to sustain with current storage
- Cleared storage space is at capacity with no expansion planned
- MRO workflow bottlenecks are slowing turnaround on aircraft in the hangar
- Documentation and traceability gaps are surfacing during audits
- Program growth is outpacing current cleared and climate-controlled storage capacity
Defense Material Handling Systems We Deploy
MTLI installs material handling built for oversized, security-sensitive aerospace and defense components, not adapted from general-purpose warehouse equipment after the fact.
Engine Stand & Rotable Storage
Purpose-built storage systems securely accommodate aircraft engines, wing assemblies, and rotable components while maximizing organization and accessibility.
FOD-Controlled Material Handling
Material handling solutions are designed to minimize foreign object debris (FOD) risks, helping maintain clean, compliant, and safe aerospace environments.
Secure Access Control Systems
Integrated access control protects restricted storage areas and supports secure handling of ITAR-controlled and sensitive aerospace materials.
Heavy Lift Handling Solutions
Heavy-duty lifting and handling equipment enables the safe movement of oversized aircraft components, reducing manual handling and improving operational efficiency.
Defense Material Handling Systems
MTLI delivers defense material handling systems and secure warehouse infrastructure engineered for aerospace manufacturing, MRO facilities, and defense logistics operations where security, traceability, and precision are critical.
How Our Aerospace Logistics Automation Comes Together
Every aerospace and defense program follows the same process, from security review through ongoing support, so infrastructure is delivered right the first time.
Assess
We review security clearance requirements, component sizes, and current MRO workflow to find where infrastructure is holding a program back.
Design
Our team lays out secure construction, aerospace storage, and MRO support sized to your program requirements and quality standards.
Install
Cleared crews install secure and FOD-controlled systems without disrupting active programs or existing clearances.
Support
Ongoing maintenance keeps secure and MRO infrastructure audit-ready year over year.
Aerospace Logistics Automation for Every Facility Type
Aerospace and defense facilities operate differently, so MTLI tailors secure construction, storage, and MRO scopes to each one:
OEM Manufacturing
AS9100 facility construction integrated with production flow.
MRO & Overhaul
Hangar construction and parts staging built around turnaround time.
Defense Logistics
ITAR-compliant secure storage and controlled access for classified programs.
Whatever the facility type, the same team manages secure construction, storage, and MRO infrastructure as one coordinated project.
Defense Contractor, Secure Parts Depot
The Challenge
A defense contractor needed a secure facility for storing and distributing controlled defense components with full ITAR compliance.
The Solution
MTLI constructed a 150,000 SF secure depot with classified storage areas, biometric access controls, and inventory tracking integration.
Results
- Full ITAR compliance
- Zero security incidents
- 48-hour parts delivery
- 100% inventory accuracy
