Abstract

We are in a digital transformation era, new technologies are enabling new ways of working that were impossible only a few years ago. To take the maximum benefits of those new digital capabilities, a proper holistic digital transformation program shall be the way to implement them in a context of a wide company. In Airbus, we are currently running DDMS, which stands for Digital Design Manufacturing and Service, to be ready for the next aerospace industry challenges, with a clear focus on the future clean aviation. Modeling and simulation is a key pillar of our digital transformation, We are pleased to share in this conference our to-be vision and where we are today on this challenging journey.


About the presenter

@MF ​​​​​​​

Marco FERROGALINI belongs today to Airbus Group leading the digital transformation on the Modelling and Simulation stream within the DDMS (Digital Design Manufacturing and Services) program across all Airbus divisions (commercial aircraft, defense and space systems, and helicopters).


Along his career he has been involved in complex vehicles system engineering activities, especially on the systems development and integration on sports cars, on rolling stocks and more recently on aerospace systems. He has always been acting on two axes. On one hand, he has been developing processes/methods/tools approaches aiming at continuous improvements, on the other hand, he has been managing large engineering teams on the operational side (project execution).

He has quite a wide experience in modeling and simulation approaches (FEM, vehicle dynamics, CFD, Acoustic) with a strong focus on MBSE Model-Based System Engineering for system operational analysis and functional/logical architectures. Indeed, in the last decade, he has been pioneering and leading the introduction of this approach in the railway industrial sector in two of the major worldwide OEMs (Alstom and Bombardier) developing end to end all the related aspects (processes, methods, tools, training/coaching, and change management).

Despite the above professional activities, Marco remains very active in the System Engineering social networking contributing to the MBSE Working Group of the INCOSE and giving lectures on System Engineering and Model-Based System Engineering in many Engineering schools.

Since January 2013, he’s been certified as INCOSE CSEP.
