Case Study: Airbus accelerates aircraft production with MuleSoft APIs

Airbus cuts IT project time from 4 months to 4-6 weeks with MuleSoft

Airbus, a leading aviation manufacturer, faced the challenge of meeting massive industry growth by revolutionizing its IT approach. Its legacy systems could not support the increased production needs, so the company needed to embrace digital transformation to improve efficiency and decrease costs. To achieve this, Airbus turned to MuleSoft and its Anypoint Platform to implement an enterprise-grade API strategy.

Using MuleSoft, Airbus built a library of reusable APIs to unlock data from backend systems like SAP, providing real-time visibility to shop floor operators via mobile apps and streamlining its supply chain. This API-led approach allowed Airbus to deliver IT projects four times faster, reducing development time from four months to four to six weeks. MuleSoft empowered Airbus to significantly accelerate its manufacturing and supply chain processes, ultimately reducing the time required to deliver new aircraft.
