Global aeroplane giant Airbus has announced that it plans to upgrade and enhance the usage of robotic solutions at its logistics facility in France. It must be noted that global aircraft production is all set to witness a major boost in the coming years. Airbus alone has estimated that by 2025, it will bring out around 1,000 aeroplanes per year. Consequently, it will need more hands for parts picking in its warehouses. At the Rochefort warehouse, where the company plans to expand robotic usage, Blondel Group is set to manage the warehouse, while Scallog robotic systems will look after the operations.
The director of the Blondel Group’s Grand Ouest region industry business unit, Christian Debucquet stated, “We must support our partner Airbus in its growth dynamic and in its new production challenges, by working ever more efficiently in just-in-time preparations.
“A wide variety of parts are needed for production stations. The Scallog solution should contribute to this by putting robotic technology at the service of the efficiency of our services and the development of our employees while meeting the traceability and transparency requirements of our industrial client.”
