1st International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing for Air, Space and Land Transportation

Monday March 7th 2022 00:00 Friday March 11th 2022 00:00

The aim of the conference is to promote and facilitate discussion and exchange of experience among members of the various engineering disciplines concerned with air, space and land transportation. This will cover design, development, assembly, integration and verification aspects.

Recently, larger production volumes are benefitting from Industry 4.0 technologies.  Manufacturing digitalization and automation, ‘smart factory’, additive and advanced manufacturing, cyber security, virtual testing and big data-driven process and quality control are progressively entering the manufacturing supply chain for high end technology domains.

Bringing together the space, aeronautics and land transportation engineering manufacturing community, will maximise the cross-fertilisation opportunities, promoting an inter-sectorial technical and commercial exchange worldwide. Moreover, certification and standardisation authorities in the relevant sectors will also be represented. The conference is co-organized by ESA and NASA.
