Abstract
The Future Automated Aerospace Assembly phase 1 technology Demonstrator (FA3D) was commissioned at the University of Nottingham and used to demonstrate concepts from the EPSRC Evolvable Assembly Systems project in specific industrial use cases. A number of lessons were learned from the specification, procurement, commissioning, and use of the cell. These lessons have been applied to the specification of Phase 2 of the Future Automated Aerospace Assembly Demonstrator (FA3D2) - currently in development - that will translate the Evolvable Assembly Systems research to a higher technology readiness level and address the challenges of scalable and transformable manufacturing systems. The FA3D2 will act as a showcase national experimental testbed and technology demonstrator in digital- and informatics-enabled aerospace manufacturing technologies, and the project itself will generate knowledge, skills, and experience in the delivery of such systems for academia and industry. After summarising the Evolvable Assembly Systems project, this paper presents details of the technologies demonstrated through the FA3D, and how this experience has been used to develop a novel approach to specifying the FA3D2.
