Case Study: Spirit AeroSystems improves aerospace manufacturing quality with Dassault Systèmes

Spirit AeroSystems leverages augmented reality

Spirit AeroSystems, a major manufacturer of aerostructures, faced the challenge of eliminating assembly defects like missing or mislocated parts to ensure Right First Time production for its aircraft manufacturer customers. To meet this need for precision and embed quality directly into its manufacturing workflow, the company turned to Dassault Systèmes for a solution involving DELMIA Augmented Experience.

Dassault Systèmes implemented its DELMIA Augmented Experience solution, which uses augmented reality to project digital work instructions and CAD models directly onto parts for guided assembly and real-time inspection. This integration with systems like DELMIA Apriso created a closed-loop quality process. The solution from Dassault Systèmes significantly reduced assembly defects, improved worker efficiency by an estimated 20%, and boosted customer confidence, leading to plans for a global rollout across Spirit AeroSystems' facilities.
