AERTEC Solutions participated from 10th to 13th May in the third edition of the business meeting “ADM Sevilla 2016 (Aerospace & Defence Meetings) , where the company presented its new technological solutions focused on the application of the “Future Factory”in the aerospace sector.
This concept, also known as “Industry 4.0”, considers the integration of those traditional production technologies with more novel ones (advanced robotics, digital engineering, the Internet of Things), with the aim of consolidating new advanced manufacturing methods that contribute to Improve competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency in the aerospace production sector. AERTEC Solutions is investing heavily in the development of these new technological solutions, as they are set to shape the future and evolution of aeronautical construction for the coming decades.
The company has participated in the development and integration of workbench solutions based on Augmented Reality (AR) for aircraft manufacturers, and has developed new tools to implement the simulation of production environments and telepresence as support in factories.
In addition to these new applications for the Factory of the Future, AERTEC Solutions will unveil its technological products and solutions aimed at Aerospace systems, especially to the Unmanned systems and platforms (RPAS/UAS) for the aerospace and defence sector, where it already possesses proprietary technological solutions for guidance and control, applicable to unmanned aerial systems and high-dynamics platforms.
In this field, its TARSIS 75 unmanned aerial platform stands out, a high-tech lightweight tactical RPAS designed for observation and surveillance applications. With a wingspan of 5.2 metres and a length of 2.9 metres, this aerial platform presents itself as a versatile, high-performance solution that allows for different configurations and missions. Its characteristics include a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 75 kg; a maximum payload weight of 12 kg; an endurance of 8-15 hours; and a cruising speed of 110 km/h.
