Aerospace & Defense Manufacturing: A specialized industry in need of a specialized manufacturing platform

The challenges are greater in Aerospace & Defense (A&D) manufacturing than in most industries, but so are the opportunities. By embracing digital technology successfully, A&D manufacturers can improve their speed to market, reduce costs and maintain exceptional quality standards to help their brand.

The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is an enterprise solution that forms the central nervous system of the A&D shop floor, where the world’s most complex products are assembled and tested. Therefore, the decision about which MES to choose deserves special attention to address these challenges:

  • Supply Chain
  • Workforce
  • Lead Times
  • Paper-based Processes
  • Quality & Compliance
  • Loss of Institutional Knowledge

This eBook looks at the challenges of A&D, why it’s different from other industries, what choices you have as a manufacturer, and why a purpose-built, A&D-ready digital manufacturing operations platform will save you time, money and valuable resources.
