Latecoere leverages DELMIA Augmented Experience to enhance aerostructures' quality inspection and drive zero-defect manufacturing.
Boosting quality inspection with augmented reality
In aerospace, zero-defect manufacturing isn’t just an aspiration – it’s essential. Every flight, whether carrying passengers or freight, depends on the precise assembly of thousands of components. Even the tiniest error, such as a single misplaced bracket or undetected flaw, can disrupt operations further down the final assembly line.
“The major risk related to a quality defect is the potential for delays in the assembly line to fix the problem, and ultimately, a loss of customer trust,” said Grégory Marrocco, aerostructures industrial system digitalization manager at Latecoere, a France-based Tier 1 supplier of aerostructures and interconnection systems to major aerospace companies. “We must ensure that what we install is compliant and meets our clients’ standards and requirements.”
For every fuselage, support structure and bracket, Latecoere’s commitment to quality is uncompromising. To ensure flawless execution across global operations, the company deploys best-of-breed solutions to prevent errors.
Latecoere’s technology of choice is DELMIA Augmented Experience from Dassault Systèmes – a solution that provides digital instructions through augmented reality (AR) technology, helping shop floor operators with inspection tasks.
