Industrial Insights for Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing

The Aerospace & Defense industry is facing a series of seemingly conflicting pressures driven by shifting market conditions, such as the increasing drive to deliver new capabilities while controlling costs and decreasing development and production timelines.   Combined with the challenge of maintaining a viable and motivated workforce, this new landscape is forcing manufacturers to consider industrial automation as a tool to drive innovation and efficiency into existing manufacturing environments.   With a data driven approach, Industrial innovation will enable manufacturers to improve performance and expand the lifecycle of existing plants by incorporating new functionality, such as: Moving to condition based from scheduled maintenance by incorporating predictive maintenance capabilities Image based inspection functionality to reduce manual processes, thereby improving quality and reducing manpower needs Incorporating process improvement to explore cycle time improvement and drive inefficient steps out of manufacturing   Hitachi Vantara Industrial Insights applications have the functionality and scalability to provide real time visibility, via standard and custom KPIs,  into maintenance, quality and production functions to deliver continuous improvement to any manufacturing environment.
