AIRBUS Group - Anatole Project
Cut costs for refitting or redesign of parts during the final assembly of an Airbus Aircraft.
Mission
- Cut costs for refitting or redesign of parts during the final assembly of an Airbus by building a specialized application to calculate tolerances early in the product development cycle.
Solution
- Development of an assembly simulation tool to analyze tolerances and assembly order prior to the validation of the assembly process.
Benefits
- Product quality is improved, assembly times shortened and costs reduced through fewer errors and enlarged tolerances in manufacturing
- Integrated assembly knowledge allows automatic ordering of different types of attachments
- Key inspection points can nonetheless use this dedicated tool
