Contrary to what many people believe, the aeronautical industry is today heavily reliant on the human factor. Craftsmanship prevails in a process that produces large machines – namely aircraft – containing thousands of parts and involving disparate tasks which converge on the manufacturing of a few dozen units a month in the best of cases.
In reality, this figure is minuscule if we compare it to the automobile industry, where we can see manufacturing plants churning out an average of 50 vehicles per hour. This production volume and the larger number of parts and repetitive tasks it involves allow for significant cost savings as a result of the inclusion of automation processes.
The aeronautical industry is making great strides in incorporating the best knowledge and experience gained in these manufacturing sectors and including them for its own benefit, along with other more innovative technologies, procedures and concepts.
This infographic shows some of these concepts, along with others which have already been in use for some time. Get to know where aeronautical factories are heading to in the future; as well some of the technologies work is being done on at present.
