Digital transformation of manufacturing
MARKET DIAGNOSIS
The entire aerospace industrial system needs to transform and cope with a record projection of 10 000 new Aircrafts to be produced in the next 10 years.
Aerospace manufacturers are under increasing pressure to produce innovative designs and ramp up production in response to market demands. Advanced manufacturing technologies such as robotics, digital assistants, IoT, AI and ALM are being deployed across the production value chain to co-ordinate design, manufacturing and maintenance activities, increase production efficiency and reduce cost in the long term.
Digital transformation in manufacturing generates savings around 30% to 50%.
How to manufacture differently?
In a longstanding, tightly regulated industry such as Aeronautics, changing production methods and process is not an easy project. If spending increases every year in Industry 4.0 technologies, most projects are still to struggling to deliver actual change and ROI in the operations.
