Abstract

This communication describes the experience gained when implementing a Digital Manufacturing methodology to validate the industrial design of the AIRBUS A400M Final Assembly Line using commercial Product Lifecycle Management tools. The implementation project generated a remarkable innovation in the industrialization methods and tools used in AIRBUS Military, contributing to the A400M program success. The document presents: the background and reasons motivating the project, the context, the main barriers identified and the definition of a Final Assembly Line (FAL). An innovative concept of industrial Digital Mock-Up (iDMU) was coined, representing the interoperable grouping of product, processes and manufacturing resources data.
