Spirit AeroSystems’ Factory of the Future powered by AWS
summary
Spirit AeroSystems and Deloitte build a cloud-backed digital twin on AWS that combines ERP, supplier data, RFID material tracking, machine telemetry and a dynamic production scheduling algorithm (Lambda + Python, API Gateway, auto-scaling front end) to drive an 86-inch touchscreen command center. Deployed features include the first fully automated nut plate machine, 15-minute schedule refreshes, crane call automation, and sequencing for parts sets — yielding about 33–50% less time spent chasing parts while producing ~3 fuselages/day with ~25,000 parts and 250,000 fasteners.
