  • Events, Partners

Airbus has disclosed a video presenting its vision with regard to the plan-building facility in 2025. It combines a high level of automation, end-to-end engineering across the entire value chain, vertical integration and networked manufacturing systems, usage of cobots …

The result is a joint vision of experts from several departments:”Research & Technology”, “Innovation Cell”, “Engineering”, “Manufacturing Engineering and Manufacturing“. The project was coordinated by Dr Eckart Frankenberger.

The video is impressive and a lot of technologies don’t exist yet! Startups, researchers, SMEs, manufacturers, assemblers, equipment suppliers, automation engineers, software manufacturers, regulators have some work to do to address the challenges to build tomorrow’ factories.
