Keynote Address: Portable Metrology Advancements changing the game for Tool Fabrication and Aircraft
FLW Ballroom G-J
Frank Foeller, Director of Tool Fabrication for Boeing Defense System and leader of the Boeing Enterprise wide Tooling Process Action Team will discuss the benefits realized from the advancements in Metrology to the Boeing Company.
During Franks 30+ years in manufacturing and Tooling he has seen the transition from conventional optics to a completely digital environment. With the advancements in hardware and software, we have benefited from the efficiencies in fabrication, and increased capability and accuracy of our products. What once required multiple mechanics with a truck load of equipment can now be accomplished with one operator and equipment that can be checked as baggage.
To remain competitive in the future, we must invest in the technological advancements and applications of the technology. The industry must continue to work together with suppliers, users and customers to further the advancements. Boeing sees this as our greatest responsibility to remain a leader in the industry. This CMSC partnership has been a driving force to make it happen.
