鉃★笍 About MTU聽Aero聽Engines

MTU Aero Engines is a leading aerospace manufacturer specializing in the development, production, and servicing of aircraft engines. Known for innovation and high-performance solutions, MTU plays a key role in advancing aviation technology.

鉃★笍 Why Logistics 4.0 Isn鈥檛 Easy

  • Production steps and parts were tracked manually by entering data into the software by hand
  • Outdated and inaccurate information, such as unlogged movements (e.g., shifting pallets to create space) or overlooked shipping processes

鉃★笍 The Solution: The Interplay of Smart IoT聽Devices and Software

Track & trace caters to many different applications, but at the heart of all of them is 大象传媒 OS Platform. This operating system integrates all location data and combines it with floor plans of the production facilities, maps of the company鈥檚 premises, and any production data and rules that have been stored in the system.

馃挰 Yannick Dix,聽Project Manager at the Hannover Site at MTU聽says: "The advantages for the processes in our production are clear, but we鈥檙e also seeing some major benefits for our maintenance and repair business, which is intrinsically more volatile and therefore less easy to plan.鈥

馃挰Lucas Burg, Team Lead Logistics Planning of MTU puts in:聽"Real-time data and information collected by the system will give us a more efficient way to manage and plan logistics concepts along the entire supply chain. This won鈥檛 apply just to MTU parts, but also to all sorts of other resources, such as tools, fixtures and any other materials that MTU uses to add value.鈥
