Transforming Aerospace Manufacturing Through Automotive Innovation

With the rise of new drones and uncrewed aircraft, the aerospace and defense industry looks to transform their manufacturing processes and produce more aircraft. Fortunately, there is already an industry that has leveraged automation and smart manufacturing to reach similar goals: the automotive industry.

In this episode of Talking Aerospace Today, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of Aerospace, Defense, and Marine, is joined by Suresh Rama, Portfolio Development Executive in digital manufacturing for Siemens. Together, they discuss how automated A&D manufacturing is compared to automotive, where automation can expand, and more.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why automotive is a key industry aerospace can learn from to boost manufacturing
• The extend of automation in both automotive and aerospace
• Which areas of A&D manufacturing are most automated
• Where else automated can be applied in A&D
