U.S. Government Defense & Suppliers, Challenged
Government & Suppliers, Challenged
Designing, manufacturing and delivering products for the government requires strict guidelines and regulations be followed, and perhaps in no country is this truer than in the one with the third largest army, navy and air force in the world: the United States of America. Our Engineering Industries eXcellence team of digital transformation experts has been working to deliver Industry 4.0 consulting, technology solutions and services for the U.S. Department of Defense for many years now. The mission of the U.S. Department of Defense, or that of any country for that matter, is to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure the nation's security. And in a world where new threats are continuously emerging, being ready and outfitted when it comes to national defense is more critical than ever before.
Delivering for Defense Fleet Readiness
When talking about U.S. defense, it is all about readiness. Manufacturers are tasked to produce planes, jets, submarines and aircraft that are superior in how quickly they can respond to an attack and jump into action against enemies. Consequently, the primary aim of the technology solutions we deliver and the work that we do for the U.S. Department of Defense is to improve efficiencies of the products produced, in addition to saving money in terms of manufacturing efficiencies. Product quality and performance are the focus in this industry.
Facing Complex Products & Supply Chains
To produce and repair the highly complex, confidential and expensive equipment and machinery utilized by the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, the U.S. government leverages and regulates an extensive supply chain of manufacturers, contractors and suppliers. While this presents a huge opportunity for chosen manufacturers, it also places a huge amount of pressure in terms of time-to-market, efficiency and quality in the way they produce and the final product they deliver. Engineering Industries eXcellence works directly with the U.S. government, but more often with their suppliers.
New Efficiencies with Digital Manufacturing
When it comes to technology, defense contractors responsible for manufacturing the aircraft and vessels for the U.S. defense arsenal are looking to improve how quickly they can design and manufacture their products. Our expertise in the entire spectrum of technologies for digital manufacturing enables us to deliver these industry-specific solutions and system integration services that help them achieve these goals and meet strict regulatory requirements at the same time. Our team is involved in helping build nuclear submarines, radar systems, ground vehicles, fighter jets and navy shipyards for the U.S. government. We also deliver and integrate systems that manage the data and the execution of products being fabricated, including Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).
Speeding Up Fleet Repair & Maintenance
In addition to providing solutions to support the build process, we also deliver solutions to optimize the repair side of defense equipment. U.S. ships and submarines, for example, must go in for maintenance and repair every so often. The U.S government relies on trusted suppliers to execute and expedite this process, to ensure that these vehicles can be put back into action as soon as possible. Our team helps these suppliers leverage technology to ensure the most efficient processes in getting equipment back into service as fast as possible.
A Digital Era for National Defense
Most Aerospace, Space, Shipbuilding & Defense manufacturers do not have the internal knowledge, technical expertise and resources necessary to navigate and understand all the complexities of digital transformation alone. They must look towards a strategic partnership with an expert that can help them assess their current systems and processes, identify gaps and priorities, source and implement the right solutions, and support the digitalization process from start to finish. We have been officially added to the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) for the U.S. Government and we are certified to deliver solutions fully compliant with International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). With over 10 years of experience implementing Industry 4.0 solutions for the government and its suppliers, Engineering Industries eXcellence has established a depth of expertise and understanding of industry-specific challenges, standards and solutions that our customers could not find at any other company in the world.
