Comprehensive research into automating and robotising the aircraft assembly lines could result in a much leaner and more cost-effective aeronautics industry.
Aircraft assembly relies to a significant extent on manually putting an aeroplane together, where the use of automated or robotic processes is very limited. As a result, the aeronautics sector has been increasingly looking for ways to automate manufacturing operations and facilitate logistic processes in aircraft assembly lines and stations, aiming to reduce costs and streamline production.
