Background

Embracing Industry 4.0 for a Smarter, More Efficient Future

With over 250 years of history in manufacturing, LISI has been a leader in aeronautics innovation, producing critical components and driving engineering advancements. In 2023, LISI Aerospace North America embarked on a mission to modernize its production processes by embracing Industry 4.0 and digitizing its shopfloor. To achieve this, they partnered with Metam, recognizing their proven track record to support digital transformation.
The Challenge

Modernizing Legacy Systems for Enhanced Efficiency and Scalability

LISI Aerospace North America upholds high standards of efficiency and precision. However, as production demands grew and industry expectations evolved, their legacy systems required modernization. The goal was to integrate these systems with cutting-edge technology to streamline operations, enable real-time decision-making, and ensure scalability while maintaining their commitment to quality and efficiency.
The Solution

Shop Floor Control Companion (SCC)

Metam collaborated closely with LISI Aerospace North America to implement Shopfloor Control Companion (SCC), a scalable, user-friendly application built on Metam’s advanced technology.
SCC goes beyond real-time production visibility, managing key processes like goods receiving, quality control, inspection, and warehouse operations. It also features a packing module for streamlined packing and label printing, along with smart shipment management that groups orders by customer, priority, and weight. Integrated with third-party software, SCC ensures seamless delivery and tracking.
" Together, with the strength of our teams and our partnership, we’re shaping the next chapter of operational excellence, one fastener at a time "
