TestCert Launches AI Co-Pilot That Automates MTC Validation and Material Traceability

Sept. 2, 2026 - PRLog -- TestCert, today announced the launch of its AI-powered Mill Test Certificate (MTC) Management Platform, designed to help metal manufacturers, fabricators, distributors, and service centers automate one of the industry's most time-consuming quality and compliance processes.

Mill Test Certificates accompany nearly every shipment of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and specialty alloys. Yet many companies still rely on manual verification of chemical composition, mechanical properties, and heat numbers using spreadsheets and paper records. TestCert replaces that workflow with an automated, digital system that extracts, validates, stores, and manages certificates in a fully traceable, audit-ready environment.

Users can upload supplier MTCs in virtually any format, including low-quality scans. TestCert's AI extraction engine, trained specifically on metallurgical documents, digitizes chemical and mechanical test data with up to 99.9% accuracy. The platform then validates extracted values against a library of more than 10,000 international material grades and standards, including ASTM, ASME, EN 10204 (3.1/3.2), API 5L, and IS 2062, helping quality teams identify potential issues before materials enter production.

For manufacturers and fabricators, TestCert links incoming heat numbers to production records and finished goods, creating a complete digital chain of traceability. Outgoing Mill Test Certificates and Certificates of Conformance can be generated and connected to original supplier certificates through a single workflow.

For distributors and service centers, the platform converts certified material quantities into searchable inventory records by grade, specification, and heat number. Automated inventory deductions and certificate expiration help reduce documentation errors and prevent over-issuing certificates.

Additional features include configurable approval workflows, digital signatures, QR code-enabled certificate verification, secure document sharing, and long-term cloud storage with immutable audit logs. The platform is supported by enterprise-grade security, including SOC 2 Type II attestation, GDPR compliance, ISO 27001 alignment, and TLS 1.3 and AES-256 encryption.

According to TestCert., early adopters have reported up to 90% faster certificate processing and improved audit readiness. TestCert is available in 20 languages and serves organizations ranging from small fabrication shops to global manufacturers across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
