Factories of the Future for Aerospace Workshop Takes Place
On 22 & 23 November EFFRA (supported through the FoF-Impact coordination action) and Aerospace Valley in collaboration with CAPPADOCIA European project and Regional Council Nouvelle Aquitaine, held a workshop under the theme “Factories of the Future for Aerospace”.
The aim of the workshop was to stimulate the take up of results of pre-competitive projects in Aerospace industry and present actual and future innovative trends and emerging technologies. The workshop featured four Parallel ‘Pitch’ sessions, which focused on providing short and to-the-point presentations (‘pitches’) about innovative manufacturing technologies and approaches. Presentations were approximately ten minutes long.
The sessions covered the following themes:
- Pitch Session 1: Product and Process Simulation
- Pitch Session 2: Factory automation
- Pitch Session 3: Advanced Material processing
- Pitch Session 4: Collaborative supply chain
In addition to this workshop, the European project CAPPADOCIA hosted a side-event focusing on future opportunities in aerospace innovation and inter-clustering.
