In this article, we analyze how to rapidly migrate from a model done with MathWorks tools for modeling and simulation to a radar prototyping testbed built upon COTS components from NI.
Most modern tech companies were built upon a digital foundation. However, manufacturing has long fallen behind in this regard. Due to its emergence before the rise of big data and advanced computing power, few aerospace and defense industry companies have succeeded in going fully digital. Nevertheless, those that have done so find themselves reaping great rewards today. Fortunately, it’s not too late for your company to catch up. Every business can achieve a digital transformation with the right tools.
Like other branches of industry, aerospace companies are quickly adopting industry 4.0 technology. Innovations in computers and data analytics in the past decade and a half have brought forth a brand new model of industry. Some are even calling it the fourth industrial revolution! These digital transformation trends cannot be ignored if you want to remain competitive. But what does a digital transformation in aerospace involve, and why is it necessary to start now?
Artificial intelligence is changing how experts in engineering, aerospace, and energy interact with their work. And the same technology that students will later use in the field can teach them the skills they need to begin their careers. From streamlining the learning process to keeping learners engaged, AI will revolutionize education for the next generation of innovators.
The need to localize technology, that is to say, to make technology development possible and available in one country, is one of the key pillars to economic growth. But the access to technology and innovation has been uneven, and there’s even a growing gap between developed and developing countries in how much innovative technologies are used for scientific research.
The big data trends that have taken over the service sector are trickling down into manufacturing. However, decades of traditional industrial practice have made it difficult to achieve a smooth digital transformation in aerospace and other industries. Veteran engineers may not fully appreciate just how valuable going digital can be. Digital transformation companies, though, have found ways to unite modern data trends with useful engineering tools. Model-based enterprise, or MBE, is the perfect approach for a digital transformation in aerospace.
On June 6th, at the Riyadh Marriott Hotel, we are gathering the most important companies in the Kingdom to discuss technologies such as cyber-physical systems, photonics systems, passive radars, and many more, and how these are shaping the future of the Aerospace and Energy industry and research domains.
The more an industrial operation can leverage automation, the more profitable it will be. Industrial enterprises worldwide have recognized the value of industrial automation, and many are racing to automate as many tasks as possible. Likewise, companies have seen a need to add renewable energy to their infrastructure. This raises an interesting question: how can automation and renewable power work together? These two technologies have a synergy that few others can rival.
Aerospace companies of all sizes need to modernize to meet the challenges of tomorrow. While large airlines have completed digital transformations, many smaller ones have not. In addition, parts suppliers and subcontractors are often far behind in their efforts to go digital. The more advanced your company’s technology is, the more you’ll be able to work with bigger players, and even become one yourself. What will your company be able to do when it goes digital?
Energy production companies have operated under similar conditions for nearly a century. Oil and gas extraction, refinement, and subsequent energy generation have not changed dramatically since their inception. Granted, new technology has made these processes more efficient, but they are still overwhelmingly analog businesses. It’s time for this sector to make the leap and complete a digital transformation. The most successful players in the industry have already done so. How can your company make the transition to a digital environment?
Industrial businesses are constantly squeezed by ever-tightening margins as rising costs threaten profitability. However, many companies struggle to find ways to cut costs while still holding onto their value human capital. Given that raw material costs are entirely out of your control, and your operations require constant financial support, where can you find savings? Optimizing your power consumption with industrial automation can have a major impact on your bottom line and help your business weather future events.
New technologies have made it possible for industrial operations to reach greater energy efficiency levels without making major changes to their workflow. Best of all, automation technology provides other benefits besides reduced energy use.
Going completely digital should be every company’s goal going forward. Many businesses have already seen the value of going digital and are in the middle of their transition. However, there are many obstacles to your digital transformation. If you don’t address these before you implement new processes, you could create problems that will be much harder to solve in the future. That’s where digital transformation consulting comes in. With the help of an experienced team, you too can go digital.
