Aerospace 4.0 needs service providers to fly forward

Although adoption of digital manufacturing is nascent in aerospace, there is a clear and compelling case for companies to adopt these solutions for addressing specific aerospace challenges like weight reduction, structural and space optimization and safety. Aerospace companies are partnering to unlock the potential value across a variety of dimensions, from cutting costs and restructuring supply chains to expediting time to delivery and making devices and products connected across the board.

Capgemini partnered with Airbus to develop a platform hosted in cloud that enables data analytics, alert management, fleet management, predictive maintenance and operational analytics to increase economic performance of airline. High partnership opportunities are thus available for service providers to capitalize on the ~$40 Bn aerospace investment with IoT-enabled quality assurance & predictive maintenance, supply chain synchronization, digital warehouse management, digital twin and cloud-based product monitoring solutions.
