Compare those numbers to legacy manufacturers, where 18% are thriving, 54% are surviving, and 28% are struggling.
Of those identified as digital manufacturers, 33% report they are thriving (profitable and growing), 54% are surviving (stable, breaking even), and 13% are struggling (unprofitable or losing market share). The legacy companies that aren’t yet implementing, are in the process of developing, haven’t started developing, or don’t have plans to develop an Industry 4.0 strategy risk business failure. This survey divides manufacturers into those born – or reborn – in digital, who are implementing Industry 4.0 (24%) and legacy manufacturers (76%) that haven’t. manufacturing organizations about current and planned Industry 4.0 efforts. Results are now in for BDO’s 2021 Industry 4.0 Survey, again polling 100 C-suite executives at U.S.

With the added support of Florida software developer Beast Code, the solution will be fielded at multiple U.S. For instance, Navy personnel will be able to document faults, request parts, and report work completion during maintenance, reducing asset downtime while increasing data accuracy to enhance planning and procurement. The solution combines artificial intelligence (AI), digital twin capabilities, and predictive analytics to anticipate and react to potential equipment failures before they happen. The commercial-off-the-shelf IFS solution can plan and execute maintenance, repair, and overhaul of more than 3,000 assets including aircraft, ships, and land-based equipment. Navy has chosen Lockheed Martin and enterprise applications company IFS for a digital maintenance solution to transform multiple legacy systems into a single, modernized logistics information system. Navy selects Lockheed Martin, IFS for maintenance During the last six months, Airbus has signed 11 FHS contracts with operators globally. The by-the-hour maintenance contract includes material services with on-site-parts stock management and access to Airbus’ pool of parts, engineering, and repair services. JetBlue started Airbus A220 operations in April 2021. JetBlue is the third A220 airline operator to use Airbus’ flight hour services (FHS) and the first customer in North America. U.S.-based JetBlue airlines is acquiring long-term Airbus components maintenance services for its 70 A220 aircraft on order. Airbus gets JetBlue A220 service contract Spirit will expand Applied Aerodynamics capabilities to its other MRO locations, including Wichita, Kansas Western Europe North Africa and East Asia, in the next year. For defense, Spirit acquired a new scope of work for C-17 flight controls and Coast Guard bearings. The Applied Aerodynamics acquisition enables Spirit to expand beyond MRO services for thrust reversers and nacelles on the Boeing 737 and 777 and perform composite repairs on radomes, flight controls, slats, flaps, spoilers, ailerons, winglets, and main landing gear doors for the Boeing 737, 747, 757, 767, and 787 and Airbus A320 and A321 models.
