Manufacturer Holy Technologies enlists Plataine for expanding carbon fibre production
In the dynamic world of aerospace and manufacturing, innovation is the driving force behind advancements that push boundaries and redefine possibilities. Here are some recent developments that are making waves in these industries.
Lockheed Martin is set to upgrade the Republic of Korea Air Force's F-16 Block 52 flight simulators to mirror the advanced capabilities of its modernised F-16 Viper (F-16V) aircraft. This upgrade will undoubtedly enhance the training experience for pilots, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle the latest technologies on the battlefield.
In the realm of manufacturing, Plataine's AI-powered Production Scheduler is making a significant impact. The system optimises workstation loads, enables predictive maintenance alerts, and delivers real-time quality monitoring. Plataine's support is seen as crucial for Holy Technologies, a German company based in Hamburg, as they scale their operations and increase volumes.
Holy Technologies specialises in sustainable and high-performance carbon fiber components, thanks to their proprietary Infinite Fiber Placement (IFP) process. This fully automated robotic system creates complex carbon fiber components with tailored mechanical properties, achieving up to 30% lower weight compared to traditional methods. The IFP technology is particularly attractive for high-performance sectors like automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and orthopaedics.
Brookhouse Aerospace has invested over £500,000 in additional machinery to extend its engineering capabilities, while Metalysis has announced the installation of three new Gen 1 research units, expanding its first stage research capabilities by a third.
In the aerospace industry, mastering fundamental processes like resin degassing is not just beneficial—it's imperative. ATI, a leading provider of advanced titanium materials, has extended and broadened its long-term titanium supply agreement with Boeing, further strengthening its role in the aerospace industry.
Lastly, Holy Technologies' collaboration with Plataine is a testament to the power of digital solutions in manufacturing. Avner Ben-Bassat, president and CEO of Plataine, expressed pride in supporting Holy Technologies as they move into serial production, highlighting the IFP process as a game-changer for sustainable carbon fiber manufacturing. Bosse Rothe Frossard, founder and CEO of Holy Technologies, praised Plataine for providing the digital backbone needed to scale manufacturing without compromising on flexibility or sustainability. The collaboration is expected to help Holy Technologies reduce planning efforts, improve on-time delivery, and drive better long-term procurement and staffing decisions.
To establish a reliable system for real-time scheduling, traceability, and production control, Holy Technologies selected Plataine's AI-powered Production Scheduler. Meanwhile, the NCC has adopted Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud and extended its use to other innovation centres within the UK High Value Manufacturing Catapult network.
These innovations underscore the relentless pursuit of progress in the aerospace and manufacturing sectors, as companies continue to push the envelope and redefine what's possible.
