AERTEC Solutions, an international engineering and consulting company specializing in aeronautics, has just signed a collaboration agreement with the European manufacturer Airbus to commercialize an industrial system of intelligent manufacturingcalled i-Workbench. It is an efficient solution, developed by AERTEC Solutions, for the manufacture of electrical cable bundles, the assembly of parts and preforms, or the assembly of equipment, all digitally. A 100% industry-compatible process aimed at improving operator work by reducing costs, preparation times and contact times, and improving the final quality of the product.
i-Workbench is a system that has been designed to suit the operators of the manufacturing process. It reduces visual fatigue by featuring optical retroreflectors with ultraviolet filters that prevent the effects of radiation on the eyes; provides direct access to the information system of the workstation through interactive and digital production orders; facilitates real-time and updated information on standards, models, databases, and diagrams/drawings; includes dynamic software with an incident display system and controls production in real time.
AERTEC Solutions has already successfully implemented this new way of working at the Airbus Tablada plant in Seville almost two years ago. Its good results now allow export this solution to the Airbus plant in Hamburg. The international technology company will also oversee the entire process of integrating this intelligent manufacturing system into the European manufacturer’s facilities in Hamburg. This new achievement adds to the work in specialized engineering that AERTEC Solutions carries out industrialization, control and management of aeronautical manufacturing programs and the implementation of technological solutions for plant control. The Andalusian company is also the preferred supplier (Tier 1) of the Airbus Group in manufacturing engineering services and program management for its civil and military aircraft.
i-Workbench is a production system that is currently operational for the manufacture of aerospace electrical cable harnesses, but it could be applied to other industrial sectors undergoing the digitalization of workplaces.
