Strata Manufacturing PJSC (Strata), the advanced composite aero-structures manufacturing company is set to explore collaboration opportunities with industry leading companies and technology providers who will support in the development of its factory-of-the-future ‘Strata 2.0’ -facility.
Strata’s new facility was revealed to key industry audiences by the company at the inaugural Global Manufacturing and Industrialization Summit (GMIS) in Abu Dhabi. The site will be located next to the company’s current facility at Nibras Al Ain Aerospace Park, and is set to have a scale of approximately 60,000 sqm. It will implement a ‘Smart Factory Ecosystem’ to combine Smart Building, Smart Manufacturing, and Smart Workforce principles to drive efficiencies, eliminate waste, elevate quality and unlock greater value for its aerospace stakeholders. The facility will more than double Strata’s existing capacity upon its completion in 2020.
