Digital Aerospace Factory
Digital excellence at every step—from engineering to production.
For maximum efficiency, highest quality, and reliable on-time delivery.
Digitalization as a Key to Efficiency
Our advanced manufacturing technologies, including 3D printing and CNC machining, enhance precision and efficiency. By integrating automation, we streamline production processes, ensuring high-quality outcomes for our aerospace clients.
- Greater efficiency, lower costs:
Automated and optimized processes reduce manual effort and resource use. - Smarter decisions through transparency:
Real-time production and business data support faster, more reliable decisions. - Innovation as competitive edge:
Advanced technologies like WAAM enable faster, customer-specific solutions. - Reliable quality & traceability:
Digital quality assurance ensures compliance with demanding aerospace standards. - Knowledge made accessible:
Breaking down silos through digital knowledge sharing across departments.
We Plan Quality
We offer reliable products, low costs, and stable processes. At the same time, we create end-to-end data transparency across the entire product life cycle—for sustainable success.
- Early risk minimization:
Structured planning and FMEA identify potential sources of error before they reach series production. - Higher customer satisfaction:
Products meet customer requirements and specifications right from the start. - Better communication:
Uniform framework for cooperation between customers, suppliers, and internal departments. - Time and cost efficiency:
Fewer changes and complaints in late phases reduce development and production costs. - Standardized processes:
APQP (according to AIAG/VDA) offers a clear process model that is particularly accepted worldwide in the automotive industry.
From planning to certification – a fully digital, aerospace-grade phase model.
