Building a digital ecosystem for an efficient and sustainable Aerospace Supply Chain.Aerospace-X
Aerospace-X is a BMWK-funded project for the aerospace industry with 14 top-class partners from industry and research. The aim of the project is to create a collaborative ecosystem for sustainability and circular economy in the aerospace industry and to future-proof supply chains through digitalization and data sovereignty.
Use cases include the management of demand and capacity, the calculation and cross-company exchange of product carbon footprints and the creation of digital product passports for components and aircraft. This also supports circular economy approaches that aim to close material loops, whether through recycling, the use of secondary materials or the reuse of components. In addition, the project will develop decision support systems and end-to-end quality and non-conformity management to ensure that future aircraft and their components are designed to be circular, efficient, with reduced environmental impact and to the highest quality standards.
