To develop and apply automated assembly processes to the assembly of composite panels and metallic wing ribs, considering interaction between automation and manual operations. 

Objectives

• Define and optimise the assembly operations to meet the production rates anticipated for the A350 programme and other future programmes​
• Take concepts from TRL2 to TRL4, through demonstration of key and novel aspects of the automation process, and provide business case to develop to TRL6

Impact / Results

Demonstrated automated assembly processes and enabling operations including:​

• Component identification​
• Sealant application​
• Part inspection​
• Safety systems​
• Production logistics​
• Paint dabbing on fastener tails
