Shaping quality for aerospace
Quality makes innovation take flight. For her future. For everyone’s
Shape quality with us
Explore our technology and use cases here and experience the extraordinary potential of digital manufacturing solutions to accelerate innovation in aerospace, shape a better reality and improve quality of life for all.
As production ramps up, quality remains the key to success. Learn more about how you can embed quality throughout your operation with leading-edge hardware and software to accelerate your production processes with advanced automation solutions.
PRESTO System from Hexagon has the power to transform productivity for larger scale inspection routines with a turnkey automated inspection cell that can be plugged into an existing ecosystem, automating many of the challenging aspects of traditional automation, such as the robotics programming.
To protect the future of the planet and people, aviation must become more sustainable and manufacturing processes will play a key role in making this a reality. Discover how technologies such as simulation and collaboration platforms can help to bring our sustainable future closer with innovations in materials, structure and propulsion.
Accelerating this journey will be platforms such as Nexus from Hexagon, which applies the latest cloud technologies to unblock innovation bottlenecks, enabling global teams to collaborate in real-time across the product lifecycle – from design and engineering to production and quality – to solve manufacturing problems together and speed time-to-market.
Nexus makes this possible by connecting equipment, data and processes to create a digital reality where insights are available to people in real time, in context and in one place so they can make better-informed decisions.
The aerospace industry still has some way to go on its digital transformation journey. But Hexagon is here to support that process with expertise at every step of the manufacturing process. Learn more about how Hexagon solutions can weave a connected digital thread through your operation, enhancing efficiency, quality and sustainability.
With a Quality Management System (QMS) certified for aerospace (AS 9100, ISO 9001 and ISO 5001) it is possible to build a closed-loop quality process that promotes a system of continuous improvement. ETQ Reliance’s takes this further, with a future-ready, cloud-native QMS that provides the data backbone for automating the collection and delivery of manufacturing quality control data, non-conformance reports, and customer feedback, providing an enterprise view of quality management across the entire product lifecycle.
