Abstract

Aerospace industry is well known to be one of the most demanding sectors to work with. It is strongly normalized, monitored and audited on behalf of airworthiness. In this scenario, continuous improvement is a must, to comply not only with requirements, but also lead times and costs. TITANIA, one of most recognized materials testing labs working for aerospace, moved to a tailor-made integral management system to deal with the high volume of data they deliver to their customers. After a two years effort, now is exploiting its results by offering better lead time compliances, robust test reports and new data analysis services. Digital transformation has pushed TITANIA into Industry 4.0. This paper presents the followed methodology and the first results obtained.
