Webinar: How to Automate Machining in Aerospace and Defense?
OnlineAUTOMATE HIGH-MIX-LOW-VOLUME
Learn to Automate Machining Operations in Aerospace and Defense
“We can’t automate because we don’t have the volume.” This is not a barrier to automation in aerospace and defense manufacturing – it is what flexible automation is made for. In this session, we will show you how to turn this and other high-mix-low volume manufacturing challenges into competitive strengths.
After studying over 5,000 successful automation implementations for high-mix manufacturers, we are excited to share essential shop floor practices and automation insights tailored for aerospace and defense businesses. Discover how the right automation strategies can help you deliver top-quality parts and keep lead times short without having a huge inventory – helping you win more contracts and meet demanding industry standards.
Join this session and learn:
- Key bottlenecks in aerospace machining: identifying and overcoming the top production challenges on the shop floor.
- Selecting the machining & automation technology: Factors to consider when selecting eqipment for complex and variable manufacturing processes.
- Maximizing productivity with short machining cycles: Practical techniques for optimizing throughput in low-volume production.
- Lowering capital tied up in inventory: How to optimize lead times without high inventory level (averagely 40% of revenue in aerospace).
- Flexible CNC automation: how does it work in practice for high mix and low volume manufacturing.
- Part traceability and quality control: how to integrate these in automated machining.
For whom is this session intended?
Students and researchers – anyone willing to explore automation technologies in aerospace manufacturing.
Aerospace and defense manufacturers – including production managers, production engineers, machinists, operators, tool room operators, NC-programmers, and shop owners.
Machine tool dealers – those interested to learn about flexible CNC automation for aerospace customers
