Digital core for aerospace and defense manufacturing

Support production acceleration by modernising the ERP and enhancing the integration architecture. Achieve data continuity while controlling change risk.

In today’s rapidly evolving aerospace and defence industry, accelerating production is crucial to meet rising demand and stay competitive, but aerospace and defence manufacturers, across all the industry segments, seem to still face challenges in achieving flexible production ramp up.

Most A&D manufacturers are still working within fragmented and aging system landscapes. Multiple ERPs, siloed PLM and MES/MOM systems, and brittle point-to-point integrations that hamper visibility, data consistency, and interoperability. These architectural constraints are not just IT concerns. They impact the entire value chain.

The consequences are felt in every programme:

• Delays in propagating design changes across functions
• Difficulty ramping up production or responding to disruptions
• Inability to track product data end-to-end with confidence
• Rising costs linked to rework, inefficiencies, and compliance risk

In short, the systems designed to support production are now limiting it.

What if you could remove those inefficiencies and accelerate production?

Digital Core for A&D manufacturing by Capgemini is the solution towards a modern and integrated application landscape. With this solution, Capgemini can help organisations modernise the ERP and weave together the three key applications of the production tools chain:

• PLM: Product lifecycle management
• ERP: Enterprise resource planning
• MES: Manufacturing execution system
• MOM: Manufacturing operations management

Partnering with Capgemini, A&D manufacturers can:

• Develop a tailored and incremental roadmap that minimises the change risk
• Modernise their ERP to  the latest SAP S/4HANA and SAP native integration capabilities
• Achieve product data continuity through a concurrent data flow with PLM and MES
• Enable feedback loops and cross disciplines interoperability.
