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

| Assembly is very important, since there are five or six levels in the hierarchy for joining the thousands of parts that make up a vehicle. This level of complexity is very difficult to manage, and requires a view that can start global, and follow down to the smallest piece. Our goal was to control the tolerances as early as possible in the development cycle in order to optimize the assembly process.
