关于客户
Davidson Fabrication 是一家家族企业，由 Jim Davidson 于 1966 年创立，目前由第二代经营。这家位于宾夕法尼亚州的钣金制造商与航空航天业一些最大的商业和国防公司合作。该公司的任务是通过 7 个不同的部门安排多达 400 个作业和零件，并与众多专业承包商合作。为了处理和监控工作量，Davidson 使用了 Shoptech 的 E2 软件。Davidson 合同管理员 Kathy Koci 表示，E2 使流程顺利进行，如果没有 E2，Davidson 将无法有效地为其客户提供服务。
挑战
Davidson Fabrication 是一家总部位于宾夕法尼亚州的钣金制造商，与航空航天业一些最大的商业和国防公司合作。在任何给定时间，Davidson 都会通过 7 个不同的部门安排多达 400 个作业和零件，并与众多专业承包商合作。为了处理和监控工作量，Davidson 使用了 Shoptech 的 E2 软件。2009 年之前，Davidson 一直使用基于 Microsoft Access 的旧系统管理其工作流程。该系统在排序和显示信息方面足够有效，但它不是“智能或交互的”。除了 Access 数据库，Davidson 还使用一组 Microsoft Word 工作表来跟踪零件在制造过程中的移动。当零件要经过 Davidson 的七个系统中的每一个时，部门操作员必须更新零件工作表上的信息。这是一个非常繁琐且耗时的过程。
解决方案
2007 年，戴维森收购了 E2。但是，该公司直到 2009 年才实施该系统。Koci 说，幸运的是，Shoptech 在协助过渡方面提供了极大的帮助。她说，例如，他们提供了详细的屏幕截图，以帮助那些不一定精通 PC 的系统用户。Koci 还说，戴维森通过运行一段时间的并行系统（Access 数据库和 E2 软件）使过渡更加顺利。并行运行这两个系统使用户能够从旧系统过渡到新系统。E2 使戴维森能够执行一些关键任务。首先，使用 E2 数据收集模块，戴维森可以实时查看他们的流程，并了解他们的零件和工作在哪里。这很重要，因为戴维森必须将一些功能外包给各种承包商。对于特殊涂层和热封等工作，零件会被发送出去。E2 使戴维森能够轻松管理该流程。E2 还帮助戴维森更快地响应客户的需求。戴维森根据“按需”原则为客户完成许多订单。这意味着客户可能订购几千个零件，但可能希望在需要时分批发货。戴维森必须随时准备好满足任何规模的订单以满足这一需求。

Airbus Soars with Wearable Technology
Building an Airbus aircraft involves complex manufacturing processes consisting of thousands of moving parts. Speed and accuracy are critical to business and competitive advantage. Improvements in both would have high impact on Airbus’ bottom line. Airbus wanted to help operators reduce the complexity of assembling cabin seats and decrease the time required to complete this task.

Aircraft Predictive Maintenance and Workflow Optimization
First, aircraft manufacturer have trouble monitoring the health of aircraft systems with health prognostics and deliver predictive maintenance insights. Second, aircraft manufacturer wants a solution that can provide an in-context advisory and align job assignments to match technician experience and expertise.

Aerospace & Defense Case Study Airbus
For the development of its new wide-body aircraft, Airbus needed to ensure quality and consistency across all internal and external stakeholders. Airbus had many challenges including a very aggressive development schedule and the need to ramp up production quickly to satisfy their delivery commitments. The lack of communication extended design time and introduced errors that drove up costs.

Developing Smart Tools for the Airbus Factory
Manufacturing and assembly of aircraft, which involves tens of thousands of steps that must be followed by the operators, and a single mistake in the process could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix, makes the room for error very small.

Accelerate Production for Spirit AeroSystems
The manufacture and assembly of massive fuselage assemblies and other large structures generates a river of data. In fact, the bill of materials for a single fuselage alone can be millions of rows of data. In-house production processes and testing, as well as other manufacturers and customers created data flows that overwhelmed previous processes and information systems. Spirit’s customer base had grown substantially since their 2005 divestiture from Boeing, resulting in a $41 billion backlog of orders to fill. To address this backlog, meet increased customer demands and minimize additional capital investment, the company needed a way to improve throughput in the existing operational footprint. Spirit had a requirement from customers to increase fuselage production by 30%. To accomplish this goal, Spirit needed real-time information on its value chain and workflow. However, the two terabytes of data being pulled from their SAP ECC was unmanageable and overloaded their business warehouse. It had become time-consuming and difficult to pull aggregate data, disaggregate it for the needed information and then reassemble to create a report. During the 6-8 hours it took to build a report, another work shift (they run three per day) would have already taken place, thus the report content was out-of-date before it was ever delivered. As a result, supervisors often had to rely on manual efforts to provide charts, reports and analysis.
