Innovations in Rapid and Agile Manufacturing Processes for Sustainment of Aircraft

What if a military base had a critical weapon system ready to fly but was missing a front landing gear door. That’s the reality today where there are currently 8,000 parts from military platforms without part suppliers. Fleet readiness is particularly relevant during times of global conflict. It can take up to four years to find a part and repair an aircraft – critical time (and money) when an aircraft is not in action during pivotal crises.

What if you could bring parts manufacturing to where the aircraft is located, and have an agile manufacturing process on-site to repair aircraft? Learn how innovative and portable robotics and AI technology are transforming the manufacturing of mission-critical parts, including for aging aircraft. Ed Mehr, CEO and Co-Founder of Machina Labs, will share case studies on how the US Air Force is using this agile technology for precision metal forming to repair and sustain platforms on site at a Georgia military base with a reduction in time to production from months to weeks and equally as dramatic cost savings.
