ADAM started in 2016 to drive collaboration and break down silos between engineering and manufacturing through the development of an integration framework that connects Airbus’ and its suppliers’ applications. Over the years, ADAM has evolved into a portfolio of engagements focused on leveraging AI to improve our engineering and manufacturing efficiency. Current focuses include the application of computer vision to the production floor, machine learning applied to engineering data transformation, and Airbus’ overall digital strategy on these topics.

• Advanced Manufacturing: ADAM’s current focus in manufacturing is centered around the creation of production assistance tools, improving operational visibility, and improving the safety and quality of our products.
• Digital Engineering: ADAM is contributing to the advancement of Airbus’ most critical aircraft product lines through the application of advanced techniques for understanding and managing critical engineering data and moving to natively-digital design methods.

With an extensive order backlog, including the world’s best-selling airliner family (A320), airlines eagerly await delivery of these new and efficient aircraft. Accelerating the safe design and delivery of our products satisfies our customers, the traveling public, and Airbus’ bottom line.
