Case Story Airbus- High quality calibration system for aircraft manufacturer

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Flight safety begins with maintaining high-quality standards in aircraft manufacturing. Airbus, a leader in wing technology, emphasizes the importance of calibrating process instruments to ensure precision and accuracy in manufacturing.

Customer Profile
Airbus operates in the UK with around 12,000 employees across two locations: Broughton and Filton. Filton is responsible for designing wings for all Airbus aircraft.

Business Situation
Calibration documentation is crucial, requiring records for the life of an aircraft plus 10 years. Previously, a large spares storeroom was needed, but on-site calibrations have reduced this requirement.

Solution Description

Beamex calibration bench system with panel-mounted calibrators
QM6 and CMX calibration management software
Portable MC5 calibrators
Accessories such as calibration hand-pumps

Main Benefits

Automation of calibration procedures due to excellent communication between calibrators and software
High standards of calibration system
Safe and easy electronic storage of calibration data

Conclusion
The implementation of Beamex's calibration systems at Airbus has streamlined processes, reduced paperwork, and ensured compliance with high-quality standards, enhancing overall manufacturing efficiency.
