Accelerating production from weeks to days: how GKN Aerospace Engine Systems soars to new heights with Process Simulate

Aerospace manufacturing leaves zero room for error. Discover how GKN Aerospace Engine Systems accelerates production from weeks to days using Siemens Process Simulate and a fully connected digital manufacturing workflow. As a global manufacturer of critical components for aviation, space, and defense, GKN Aerospace Engine Systems supports industry leaders like Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney, and GE. But producing these parts isn’t simple, tight tolerances, extreme complexity, and nonstop throughput demands leave no margin for error. By shifting robotic programming and validation into a connected digital environment, GKN Aerospace Engineer Systems programs earlier, works safer, and moves faster, cutting lead times from weeks to days while keeping production running. Hear from Andreas Rudqvist, System Owner Robot Simulation & OLP, on how digital manufacturing transforms complexity into a competitive advantage.
