Aerospace SIG
<strong>British</strong> <strong>Automation</strong> and <strong>Robot</strong>ics <strong>Association</strong><br />
Aerospace Special Interest Group<br />
Rationale:<br />
•Aerospace companies are now starting to switch from a manual and craft<br />
based manufacturing approach to a more automated and flexible method.<br />
•However, many of the currently available automated systems do not<br />
meet the industry’s requirements and the needs of individual companies<br />
are often seen in isolation rather than as having sector wide relevance.<br />
•The Aerospace Special Interest Group has been founded to address<br />
these issues and to develop a greater understanding of the industry’s<br />
specific requirements and the unique constraints within which it has to<br />
operate.
Aims:<br />
•To provide a forum for the exchange of best practice and<br />
requirements between UK aerospace companies and automation<br />
equipment suppliers<br />
•To identify and exploit synergies across the sector and use these to<br />
generate critical mass for both automation users and suppliers<br />
•To identify potential collaborative research and development<br />
opportunities.
Current Membership<br />
•Airbus<br />
•BAE Systems<br />
•Bombardier Aerospace<br />
•Rolls-Royce<br />
Progress<br />
•Meetings have been held with selected suppliers<br />
•A requirements audit has been completed<br />
•Confidentiality issues have now been resolved<br />
•Open meeting will be held later this year.
