Aerospace in Transition: Sustainability and Digitalisation as Game-Changers
Sustainability, digitalisation and new mobility concepts are fundamentally transforming the aerospace industry. AI, IoT and data-driven processes are accelerating developments, boosting efficiency and placing high demands on cybersecurity and expertise. The Portfolio Insight Aerospace demonstrates how FERCHAU supports OEMs, suppliers and operators with qualified engineering and IT experts across the entire value chain.
Strengthening expertise for security and sovereignty
The defence industry is growing rapidly, driven by high order volumes, political initiatives and increasing security requirements. At the same time, lengthy procurement processes, technological dependencies and international competition call for new approaches. This Portfolio Insight highlights the skills and technologies currently in demand and explains how FERCHAU provides reliable support to companies through its experienced experts and project teams.
A wind of change in the aerospace and defence sectors
Digital transformation is future-proofing aviation, space and defence – no company can ignore the opportunities presented by technological development. FERCHAU Aerospace & Defence has pooled its IT competencies in a strategic approach and handles customer projects in six business units:
- Apart from automation, Embedded & Testing also includes traditional hardware and software development on integrated platforms and the provision of digitalised test systems.
- Legacy Transformation deals with hardware and software obsolescence through long product lifecycles and the redesign of legacy systems.
- Cyber Security focuses on securing critical IT infrastructures for military and also many other industrial systems.
- Extended Reality includes technologies, such as Virtual (VR), Mixed (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR), among other things for modern training programmes on critical applications.
- Data Analytics – the technology behind big data – focuses on data as a basis for digitalisation and to support decision-making and forecasting.
- Modelling & Simulation addresses growing customer requirements for complex systems, shorter development times, lower costs and higher quality standards.
