Engineering for Washington's aerospace supply chain and beyond
Washington built the modern jetliner, and the supplier network that grew up around Boeing's Puget Sound plants remains one of the deepest aerospace manufacturing bases anywhere. East of the Cascades, a very different industry — food processing at enormous scale — runs on the same need for precision and uptime.
Willowark serves both with machine vision, automation, and custom software: remote engineering, on-site commissioning.
How manufacturing runs here
Washington's industrial base, as we find it.
Aerospace defines western Washington, from Boeing's Everett and Renton operations to hundreds of machine shops and component suppliers across the Puget Sound region. Central Washington processes much of the nation's apples, potatoes, and hops, marine and shipyard work continues on the coast, and the state's wood products heritage and growing battery and clean-tech manufacturing add further depth.
Aerospace supplier quality and food processing throughput both come down to inspection and data — the exact ground our machine vision, error-proofing, and traceability software cover.

Design and software run remotely; we travel for commissioning and installation. One line about the line is enough to start.
Common questions
Asked by teams in Washington.
Do you travel to Washington for on-site work?
Yes. We fly out for commissioning, integration, and installation — Seattle is a direct flight — and handle design, programming, and support remotely between visits, planned in efficient blocks.
Can you help Washington aerospace suppliers with inspection?
Yes. We build vision inspection and measurement-adjacent systems with the documentation aerospace quality systems demand, from part verification to full traceability, designed to slot into AS9100-style processes.
Can you serve food processors in Central Washington, not just Puget Sound?
Yes. Yakima, the Tri-Cities, and Wenatchee are a drive from Seattle or Spokane, and we plan site visits around that. Processing plants there typically run hard through harvest and pack seasons, so we do design and testing remotely in the off-season, install during planned downtime, and keep remote support available when the line cannot stop. Common work is packaging and label inspection, sorting-adjacent vision, and line data that feeds your quality records.
