Technology and robotics have revolutionised the aerospace industry, propelling it towards ever greater efficiency.
Automation plays a pivotal role in various facets, from manufacturing and maintenance to cleaning and processing passengers.
In manufacturing, robotic arms equipped with advanced sensors and algorithms streamline production processes, ensuring precision and consistency in aircraft assembly.
These robots can perform tasks with unparalleled speed and accuracy, reducing production time and minimising errors.
Moreover, automation enables the fabrication of intricate components that would be impractical or impossible to create manually.
Maintenance procedures have also benefited from technological advancements.
Drones equipped with cameras and sensors can inspect aircraft for defects or damage more efficiently than human inspectors, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
This proactive approach to maintenance enhances safety and reduces downtime, ultimately saving costs for airlines and operators.
Overall, the integration of technology and robotics into the aerospace industry has optimised efficiency, safety, and exploration possibilities, propelling humanity to new heights in the skies and beyond.
Avidbots has a fully autonomous flour scrubber which enables airport operators to clean areas efficiently and with minimal human input.
Speaking to FINN, a spokesperson said: “Robots don’t tire or lose focus, so they deliver consistent results. They also don’t get sick or injured, leaving airports understaffed or at increased risk of liability.
“Avidbots robots are built to the highest possible standards, reducing maintenance costs compared to manual machines.
“Our robots can also clean around the clock, with 24/7 availability. This is helpful on two levels. First, knowing your cleaning function will always be running at peak capacity is a buffer against the negative consequences of employee absenteeism and turnover, and all the effects that has on service quality.”
Munich Airport, together with its Terminal 2 subsidiary and Dabico Airport Solutions Germany GmbH, has developed an innovative concept for fully automated passenger boarding bridges.
Jost Lammers, CEO of Munich Airport, explained: “With this pioneering project, we aim to reduce the duration of docking and undocking operations for passenger boarding bridges, thereby increasing the operational reliability and efficiency of our handling processes.”
