Leveraging Innovative Technologies and Smart Strategies to Optimize Aerospace and Defense 4.0
29 October 2024
Chicago, IL, USA
The aerospace and defense industry are experiencing a demand renaissance, fueled by the revival of air travel and escalating geopolitical tensions driving military modernization. However, manufacturers continue to face crippling supply chain disruptions stemming from labor shortages and material scarcity. Further compounding these challenges, an acute skills gap leaves them ill-equipped to meet the pace of technological change.
Manufacturers are turning to Industry 4.0 technologies as a strategic solution, leveraging digital threads, AI-driven quality control, model-based enterprises, and digital twins to accelerate production, ensure compliance, optimize product lifecycles and enhance quality standards while fortifying supply chain resilience.
Join industry leaders in Chicago at the Smart Manufacturing for Aerospace & Defense Summit to build a compelling business case for selecting, implementing and scaling these critical Industry 4.0 technologies.
