Aerospace manufacturing

Build complex production systems with greater certainty.

EKS InTec brings engineering, automation and virtual commissioning together. As a result, aerospace manufacturers and plant integrators can test production software, processes and interfaces before the real system is ready.

Aerospace production reality

High complexity needs a clear digital basis.

Aerospace production combines large structures, tight tolerances and long project cycles. Therefore, teams need reliable data and early tests across every engineering discipline.

Complex production systems

Tools, handling systems, robots and control software must work together. In addition, many interfaces must remain clear across the whole project.

Low volume, high variation

Large products and changing variants demand flexible processes. At the same time, every change must remain easy to track and test.

Limited test windows

Real equipment is costly and often available late. Therefore, virtual tests move important work into an earlier project phase.

From concept to operation

A connected workflow for aerospace production.

We combine plant experience with digital models and RF::SUITE. This way, teams can review the system before work moves to the real line.

STEP 01

Define

Set goals, system limits, interfaces and the right level of detail for the model.

STEP 02

Engineer

Develop the production concept, tooling, automation structure and project data.

STEP 03

Test

Connect real control software and review sequences, faults, safety logic and variants.

STEP 04

Launch and reuse

Finally, transfer tested software to the real system and keep the model for later use.

Application areas

Support for key production tasks.

Our focus is the engineering and digital testing of automated production systems, from individual stations to linked processes.

Structure assembly

Large-part handling and joining

Review handling steps, fixtures, joining processes and automated sequences early. As a result, teams can improve access and system flow before build-up.

Automated cells

Robotics and control software

Test robot paths, PLC logic, interfaces and fault cases in a safe virtual setup. In addition, teams can work without waiting for the real cell.

Material flow

Transport and process links

Connect stations, buffers and transport systems in one model. Therefore, bottlenecks and timing issues become visible before launch.

Training and change

Models beyond commissioning

Reuse existing models to prepare operators and review later updates. This way, the digital work keeps adding value during operation.

EKS InTec capabilities

A longer digital lifecycle

Use the model beyond the first launch.

A digital twin can support more than one project phase. For example, teams can reuse the model for operator training, system updates and new production plans.
