  1. Fitfactory join 5G smart factory project with AE Aerospace Manufacturing Technology company Fitfactory announced they are joining a project launched by AE Aerospace in January to deploy the first 5G private network in an SME, working alongside WM5G, W5G and BT. The project will focus on 3 use cases to transform manufacturing productivity for the business. AE Aerospace operates a high precision engineering facility and produces parts for high-profile customers, including Rolls Royce, Raytheon UK and Moog. It has an ambitious growth strategy and believes that all three 5G-enabled trials delivered through the project will improve productivity and provide existing clients with a better quality of service, as well as creating new business models and new revenue opportunities. etwork, the aerospace manufacturer hopes to attain significant benefits, including the ability to maximise machine time, provide more accurate assurance that parts have been machined to specification with increased speed and efficiency, as well as being able to eliminate the need to re-work or replace damaged components impaired in transit. Fitfactory Technology provides Industry 4.0 enabling technology to support the manufacturing industry to adapt to the changing landscape using digital data-driven solutions to help the sector become more agile and productive. As a long-term provider of the ERP system deployed at AE Aerospace, Fitfactory joined the project to explore how software could collate and transform the data collected from the 5G network, into insights. As 5G is set to open more possibilities for manufacturers to digitalise, due to the quantity and speed of data that can be captured and communicated. However, this large volume of data can be overwhelming to consume, analyse and utilise effectively. Our role is to Registered in England, Registered Office 32 Derby Street, Ormskirk, Lancashire, L39 2BY, Trading Office: Fitfactory Technology Ltd., Innovation Centre, Sci-Tech Daresbury, Keckwick Lane, Daresbury, Cheshire, WA4 4FS Tel: 03301 200050 Reg No 05772975 VAT No. 768 8110 01

  2. interpret and add meaning to that information through ERP and Business Intelligence systems, to present the right data to the right people at the right time to make informed decisions. The three use cases involved in the trial are: 1.Machine Time Servitization A range of sensors will be installed across the factory floor to enable wireless connectivity between machines, allowing high volume data capture. With such large volumes of data, information from the shop floor to ERP, Scheduling and Business Analytics systems provided by Fitfactory. Learn more about how Software can enable 5G in Manufacturing. 2.Mobile Asset Location & Calibration Tracking Production units have many surfaces, holes and screw threads that must be measured manually with gauges. By using 5G location tracking tags (like RFID tags, but smaller), the location of assets can be tracked and identified in real-time over 5G, thereby providing insight into where all assets are, who has 1 0cm of the location, roughly 1 0-50 times more accurate than Wifi (1 m-5m) and 1 00 times more accurate than 4G (1 0m-30m). This aims to provides 1 00% assurance that parts have machined and measured to specification. 3.Product Quality Assurance This use case aims to eliminate the need to re-work or replace damaged components. By utilising technology provided by Vision Intelligence, AE Aerospace will be able to compare real-time ultra HD images using AI to provide product quality assurance prior the finished parts being shipped to customers. speeds are incredible effective for transferring large files. A file that may regularly take 5 minutes using 4G or Wifi, can be transferred in seconds through the 5G Network.
