“F-35 Production – Advanced Manufacturing and the Digital Thread”
DFW Chapter meeting in Fort Worth on November 8
Location: University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute (UTARI)
Address: 7300 Jack Newell Blvd S, Fort Worth, TX 76118
Date: Thursday, November 8
Time: Registration, Breakfast & Networking: 7:00-7:30 a.m.
Meeting: 7:30-9:00 a.m.
Advanced manufacturing of complex products such as the F-35 is becoming a series of data-driven events, commonly referred to as the digital thread: a single, seamless strand of data that stretches from the initial design concept to the finished product. This thread enables the flow of data throughout the manufacturing process, including design concept, modeling, build plan monitoring, quality assurance, the build process itself, and post-production monitoring and inspection.
Please join us on Thursday, November 8, 7:30-9:00am when Dr. Don Kinard, Senior Fellow, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Production Operation, will discuss how the ability to dissect, understand, and apply the potentially massive amounts of data and intense computing demands within the digital thread allows users to enhance and scale their manufacturing capabilities and manage the complexities of production
The meeting is free for A&D Forum members ($30 Early Bird for non-members until November 1, $40 thereafter). Guests may attend twice for free. For more information and to register to attend the meeting, go to https://adfdfwnov18.eventbrite.com.
