Real-time tracking and alerting for expiring certificates

Purpose

 1.1. Automate monitoring of all aerospace compliance certificates (e.g., ISO 9001, AS9100, FAA approvals) for real-time expiry tracking and notifications.
 1.2. Ensure no lapse in regulatory documentation, audit-readiness, or aircraft/component legality.
 1.3. Centralize alerts to responsible teams across sites/plants, removing human error in monitoring deadlines.
 1.4. Integrate expiry updates with compliance dashboards, maintenance planning, and document repositories.
 1.5. Escalate notifications for high-risk/critical certificates for timely renewal actions.

Trigger Conditions

 2.1. Scheduled scan finds a certificate set to expire within predefined thresholds (30/60/90 days).
 2.2. Immediate update if a certificate receives a change in status (revocation, re-issue, etc.).
 2.3. Manual upload/edit of certificate triggers real-time evaluation.
 2.4. Change in regulations necessitating earlier renewal.
