Key stakeholders of the aerospace industry
Hexagon helps aerospace stakeholders create a more sustainable future
In the drive for sustainability, aerospace OEMs are charged with leading the most challenging aviation revolution ever. Airframers must invest in new materials, optimised aerodynamics and lightweight designs. Aeroengine manufacturers are developing new powertrain concepts and investigating the potential of sustainable aviation fuels.
Navigating this shift with aircraft production still in backlog — even after the 2020 pandemic — places unprecedented pressures on aerospace OEMs already tasked with aviation safety. Digitalising workflows with Hexagon’s smart manufacturing solutions offers aerospace OEMs the potential to innovate faster while shortening manufacturing cycles.
The aerospace supply chain has a key role to play in delivering the new generation of greener aircraft. However, changing technology is disruptive to established operating models. Aerospace suppliers therefore need to build resilient, agile workflows in order to adapt to changing demands and remain relevant to the businesses they supply.
Hexagon’s smart manufacturing solutions enable aerospace suppliers to become part of the industry’s digital thread and work more effectively with OEMs. From virtual process validation and accurate cost estimation to production and inspection solutions that ensure OEM requirements are met, Hexagon digitally connects the aerospace supply chain.
