Challenges in the Aerospace sector

Weight savings

Reducing jet fuel consumption is a top priority. Less weight means lower operating costs, greater payload, higher speed, less wear and increased efficiency.

Maximum component quality

To achieve constant quality of end products, production data of the entire process chain must be recorded and analyzed.

Working with high-performance materials

Special loads and safety requirements with simultaneous weight savings require new material mixes and innovative processes. Processing high-performance materials such as UD-tapes is essential.

Quality assurance systems

To ensure consistent product quality, it must be possible to integrate quality assurance systems into complete automation lines.

Component traceability

In liability-sensitive industries such as aerospace, high quality demands combined with a high degree of automation require seamless tracking.
