The aerospace OEMs are proactively engaging in innovation to address the growing demand for aircraft, showcasing their commitment to advancing technology and production capabilities in response to market needs. Aircraft are often highly customised to meet specific customer requirements, resulting in more complex manufacturing and assembly processes that require extensive testing. In the journey of innovation, technology plays a crucial role in making factories and ecosystems smart, enabling them to be adaptive rather than reactive. The aerospace industry is prioritising the adoption of smart manufacturing technologies that can solve both daily manufacturing challenges and broader factory goals.
Revolutionising aerospace factories with Smart Technologies
To smarten factories, robots, Collaborative Robots (Cobots), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), and Industrial Robots are significantly boosting factory automation levels. While Augmented Reality (AR), Electronic Work Instructions (EWI), and other technologies are empowering operators to perform their tasks more efficiently and easily. This technology enhances the overall aircraft manufacturing process and assembly operations and improves the utilisation of factory resources, tools, and layout space.
The market for smart manufacturing in the aerospace industry is expected to grow at CAGR 16.6 percent by 2030, reflecting its growing investment in smart manufacturing to cater to growing aircraft demands. As with smart manufacturing, the digital transformation of the manufacturing processes would lead to increased productivity and better-quality output.
