SEKISUI Aerospace partnered with Xemelgo to bring their vision of a connected, intelligent factory to life. Leveraging Xemelgo’s Work-In-Process solution, SEKISUI implemented a fully connected system that delivers real-time visibility into every order on the production floor. The solution provides live production dashboards and proactive alerts on emerging issues, enabling operators, supervisors, and executives alike to make faster, data-driven decisions that improve operational efficiency and responsiveness.
SEKISUI Aerospace is a leading manufacturer of advanced composite structures for the aerospace and defense industries. With decades of experience, they specialize in designing and producing lightweight, high-performance components that meet the stringent demands of commercial and military applications.
Committed to quality and innovation, their mission is to deliver reliable, precision-engineered products that help customers push the boundaries of flight.
SEKISUI Aerospace faced several key challenges as they sought to improve production flow and operational efficiency:
-
Frequent Production Delays
At their worst-performing site, on-time delivery dropped as low as 30%, with customers waiting on-site for parts. -
Operational Strain from Industry Disruption
The COVID-19 pandemic amplified pressure to streamline processes and adapt quickly amid shifting demands in aerospace manufacturing. -
Lack of Real-Time Production Visibility
Without end-to-end visibility on the shop floor, it was difficult to pinpoint bottlenecks, monitor order progress, or make timely, data-driven decisions.
